Copyright ©2007 American Heart Association Wiviott SD et al, Circulation 2007Implications PRINCIPLE – TIMI 44 extends the pharmacologic superiority of the TRITON – TIMI 38 dose of prasugrel (60 mg/10 mg) to higher doses of clopidogrel (600 mg/150mg) in PCI. TRITON – TIMI 38 1 tested hypothesis that an agent that with higher and more consistent IPA than standard approved clopidogrel (300 mg/ 75 mg) will improve clinical outcomes 1 Wiviott SD, Braunwald E, McCabe CH et al NEJM2007
