Introduction
What is known about NSAID-related UGI hospitalization and mortality?
What is known about NSAID-related cardiovascular risk?
Is diclofenac a reasonable comparator for a drug that will be marketed to millions in the US, many with underlying CV disease?
What is known about the performance of COX-2 selective coxibs compared to other therapies with respect to
– GI risk– CV risk
Based on current state of knowledge, should etoricoxib be approved?

FD&C Act Sec 505(d)
Requirement for approval of a new drug:
"...adequate tests by all methods reasonably applicable to show whether or not such drug is safe for use under the conditions prescribed, recommended, or suggested in the proposed labeling thereof"
![Page 23: An epidemiologic perspective on etoricoxib David J. Graham, MD, MPH Office of Surveillance and Epidemiology April 12, 2007.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649ec75503460f94bd3b66/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Public health considerations (1)
Cardiovascular disease leading cause of mortality in US
– Background risk of AMI in males 65-74: 2% (1 in 50 per year)
This demographic is a large segment of target population for etoricoxib
Potential impact based on RR=2.72 (etoricoxib v. naproxen)
– Among males 65-74, risk of 5.4% (1 in 18 per year)
– NNHEtoricoxib = 147 person-years
– 6,800 extra APTC events per 1,000,000 person-years etoricoxib use
If etoricoxib use becomes extensive, multiplier effect on number of premature and excess CV events, compounded year after year
– Estimated 88,000-140,000 excess AMI events with rofecoxib
![Page 24: An epidemiologic perspective on etoricoxib David J. Graham, MD, MPH Office of Surveillance and Epidemiology April 12, 2007.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649ec75503460f94bd3b66/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Public health considerations (2)
Not all NSAIDs are the same with respect to CV risk– Diclofenac
Low use in USIncreases AMI riskInappropriate and deceptive comparator for CV safety
– NaproxenMore widely usedNeutral with respect to AMI riskDoes not interfere with beneficial CV effects of aspirin
tNSAID + PPI equivalent to coxibs for UGI outcomes– RCT data – Epidemiologic data
No apparent or demonstrable added benefit to etoricoxib use
![Page 25: An epidemiologic perspective on etoricoxib David J. Graham, MD, MPH Office of Surveillance and Epidemiology April 12, 2007.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649ec75503460f94bd3b66/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Conclusions (1)
Diclofenac is an inappropriate comparator for assessment of population cardiovascular risk
– Applicant’s program is based on this inappropriate comparator
Etoricoxib probably confers substantial increase in CV risk– Enormous public health and population consequence
Etoricoxib is no more effective for pain relief than tNSAIDs
Naproxen + PPI equivalent to coxibs for gastroprotection– Substantial cardiovascular safety advantage– Substantially less expensive
![Page 26: An epidemiologic perspective on etoricoxib David J. Graham, MD, MPH Office of Surveillance and Epidemiology April 12, 2007.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649ec75503460f94bd3b66/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Conclusions (2)
Approval should be based on “...adequate tests by all methods reasonably applicable…”
– Demonstration of efficacy:Current “tests” probably adequate
Etoricoxib comparable to tNSAIDs for pain relief; no advantage to 60 mg dose over 30 mg
– Demonstration of safety:No cardiovascular safety data for 30 mg strength
Current “tests” not adequate or reasonableCoxib superiority over naproxen + PPI for UGI
