Data are expressed as mean (N) or mean ± SD (N)

AUC0-t area under the curve from time zero to the time t of last measurable concentration, Cmax peak plasma concentration, EC enteric-coated, LS least squares, PL-ASA phospholipid-aspirin complex, SD standard deviation, Tmax time to maximum acetylsalicylic acid concentration

aThe p values were assessed by using a mixed-effects model, with sequence, period, and treatment as fixed effects and patient as a random effect
