Drug-drug interaction between antiacid and antiplatelet agents has not been fully elucidated. Vonoprazan, a new potassium competitive acid blocker, has been available in Japan. CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 are involved in the metabolism of clopidogrel, prasugrel, esomeprazole, and vonoprazan. Using a P2Y12 assay, we compared the effects of vonoprazan and esomeprazole on the antiplatelet functions of clopidogrel or prasugrel in 31 healthy Japanese volunteers (14 CYP2C19 homo-extensive (homo-EMs), nine hetero-extensive (hetero-EMs), and eight poor metabolizers (PMs))...
