This is a 6 week crossover study in current and former smokers with and without COPD to evaluate whether 2 weeks of dual antiplatelet therapy (aspirin 81mg and clopidogrel 75mg) improves pulmonary perfusion (i.e. blood flow in the lungs measured on a contrast CT scan) compared to placebo.
This is a single-center Phase IIa randomized double-blind crossover study in smokers with and without chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to test whether dual antiplatelet therapy (aspirin 81mg and clopidogrel 75mg) improves pulmonary perfusion (i.e. blood flow in the lungs) compared to placebo.
We will enroll 30 subjects (20 with COPD, 10 without) who will each take part for 6 weeks. Participants and researchers will be blinded, they will not know which medications they are on first. Each participant will be asked to take aspirin and clopidogrel together for 2 weeks and also matching placebos for 2 weeks, with a 2 week washout period in between. Pulmonary blood flow will be evaluated with a contrast-enhanced CT scan of the chest two times over the 6 week study.

Adverse events were attributed to a study arm from the time they started the intervention until 2 weeks after the last dose, typically 8 weeks with a maximum of 10 weeks
One of the control subjects dropped out and did not get any dual anti-platelet therapy

We had a lower total number of participants due to difficulty recruiting and time constraints, thus we have lower power than expected.
For AEs: 2 subjects (1 COPD, 1 control) had lung nodules on CT after dual antiplatelet therapy (1st trt) that were not seen after placebo (2nd trt). They did not get any antibiotics. 2 subjects with COPD had infiltrates on CT after dual antiplatelet therapy (1st trt) and were treated with azithro, 1 improved and 1 did not, both still seen on placebo (2nd trt).
