Abstract

This study aimed to understand the pharmacokinetics of ticagrelor in Chinese patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), identify influencing factors, and inform ticagrelor treatment optimization. Data from 195 ACS patients, including 491 plasma ticagrelor concentration timepoints and clinical information, were analyzed using NONMEN for pharmacokinetic (PK) parameter factors. The model underwent internal validation with bootstrap methodology. The PK curve of ticagrelor was well delineated using a one disposition compartment model with first-order absorption rate constant, 0.67/h. When the direct bilirubin levels and white plasma cell counts increased, female patients showed decreased glomerular filtration rate, decreased ticagrelor clearance rate, and increased exposure. When the direct bilirubin levels increased and body weight and hemoglobin decreased, rs6787801 was GG compared with AA and GA, the ticagrelor metabolite clearance rate decreased and exposure increased. The study offers key insights into ticagrelor's dose-exposure relationship post-percutaneous coronary intervention in ACS patients, highlighting factors critical for personalized treatment strategies.
