A questionnaire on COVID-19-related thrombosis in patients hospitalized before Aug 31, 2020, was sent to 399 hospitals throughout Japan. Responses were received from 111 (27.8%) with information on 6,202 COVID-19 patients. Of these, 333 and 56 required ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), respectively, and 212 died (3.4%). D-dimer levels were measured in 75.0% of the patients, revealing that 9.2% and 7.6% exhibited D-dimer increases of 3-8-fold and ≥8-fold the reference value, respectively. Thrombotic events occurred in 108 patients (1.86% of the 5,807 patients with available data) including symptomatic cerebral infarction in 24, myocardial infarction in 7, deep vein thrombosis in 41, pulmonary thromboembolism in 30, and other thrombotic events in 22. Some patients developed multiple thrombotic events. Thrombosis occurred in 32 patients with mild or moderate COVID-19 severity (0.59% of those with data available) and in 52 patients on ventilation or ECMO (13.5% of severe patients for whom data were available). Thrombosis occurred in 67 patients during worsening clinical condition and in 26 during recovery. Anticoagulant therapy was provided to 893 patients (14.6% of the 6,119 patients with available data), the main reasons being provided as elevated D-dimer levels and worsening clinical condition.

Aim: Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and clopidogrel is essential after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Clopidogrel is a prodrug and changed into active metabolite by cytochrome p450 enzymes (CYPs), especially CYP2C19. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are used for the prevention of aspirin-induced gastrointestinal bleeding. PPIs are also metabolized by CYP2C19, although the degree of its contribution is dependent on the kind of PPI. Omeprazole, a PPI, has been reported to weaken the antiplatelet effects of clopidogrel. Famotidine, a histamine receptor type 2 (H2) blocker, could also be an alternative to PPIs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of PPIs and an H2 blocker on the antiplatelet function of clopidogrel.Methods: Patients receiving DAPT due to prior PCI, who took either omeprazole or rabeprazole, were enrolled (n=25). The initial PPI was changed to the other PPI as a crossover study. In another study, patients undergoing DAPT without taking PPIs or H2 blockers were enrolled (n=30) and famotidine was added.Results: Platelet aggregability when taking omeprazole was higher than when taking rabeprazole, evaluated by an optical aggregometer using collagen as a stimulus (p=0.0051) and by the VerifyNow P2Y12 assay (p=0.0060). Platelet aggregability when taking rabeprazole was comparable to that in control patients (n=15). Concomitant use of famotidine had no effect.Conclusion: Omeprazole significantly reduced the antiplatelet effect of clopidogrel and this effect on clopidogrel was stronger than that of rabeprazole. Concomitant use of famotidine had no effect on the antiplatelet effect of clopidogrel.
