Clinical Trial Summary SlidesClinical Trial Summary Slides
3T/2R
• Troponin I or T >3x ULN at 48 hours: 20% for tirofiban vs. 35% for placebo (p = 0.009)
• MACE at 30 days: 21% vs. 37% (0.006), respectively
• TIMI major bleeding at 30 days: 0 vs. 0
Trial design: Patients undergoing PCI were screened for poor response to aspirin and/or clopidogrel. Poor responders were then randomized to tirofiban (n = 132) or placebo (n = 131). Follow-up was 30 days.
Results
Conclusions
• Tirofiban is beneficial at reducing MI within 48 hours after PCI among poor responders to aspirin and/or clopidogrel
• Tirofiban also reduced MACE at 30 days
• There were no major bleeds in either group

APPRAISE-1
• ISTH major or CRNM bleeding: 7.9% for 10 mg apixaban, 5.7% for 5 mg apixaban, 3% for placebo (p = 0.005 for high-dose vs. placebo and p = 0.09 for low-dose vs. placebo)
• Death, MI, recurrent ischemia, or stroke: 6.0%, 7.6%, 8.7% (p = 0.07 for high-dose vs. placebo and p = 0.21 for low-dose vs. placebo), respectively
Trial design: Patients recovering from an ACS were randomized to apixaban 10 mg daily (n = 318), apixaban 2.5 mg twice daily (n = 317), or placebo (n = 611). Study medications were administered for 6 months.
Results
Conclusions
• This dose-finding study reveals that bleeding is increased among patients with a recent ACS with higher doses of apixaban compared with placebo
• Although this study was not powered for efficacy, adverse events appeared to be lowest with 10 mg apixaban

• Difference in heart rate at 24 months: 5.6 bpm lower with ivabradine
• CV death, MI, or HF: 15.4% for ivabradine vs. 15.3% for placebo (p = 0.94)

Trial design: Patients with stable CAD and moderate LV dysfunction were randomized to the sinoatrial node inhibitor, ivabradine (n = 5,479), or placebo (n = 5,438). Median follow-up was 19 months.
Results
Conclusions
• Ivabradine produces a sustained reduction in heart rate over long-term follow-up
• Among patients with stable coronary disease and moderate LV dysfunction, ivabradine does not improve mortality, MI, or HF admissions

• Primary endpoint (death, MI, stroke) was similar between CABG and PCI (10.2% vs. 11.6%, p = 0.63)
• Significant ↓ in repeat revascularization in CABG arm (2% vs. 9.9%, p = 0.001). True in drug-eluting stent subset also
• Trend toward increased CVA in CABG arm (p = 0.09)
Trial design: Diabetic patients with multi-vessel disease or complex single-vessel disease, but not left main disease, were randomized to either CABG or PCI. Clinical outcomes were compared at 12 months.
Results
Conclusions
• Similar incidence of death, MI, or stroke in diabetics with CABG or PCI
• CABG was associated with fewer repeat revascularizations compared with PCI
• No difference in death, MI, but trend toward increased stroke with CABG, as suggested by other studies

CARESS-in-AMI
• 86% of the immediate PCI group underwent PCI vs. 30% of the standard care group
• Death, MI, or refractory ischemia at 30 days (4.4% vs. 10.7%, p = 0.005)
• Refractory ischemia (0.3% vs. 4.0%, p = 0.003)
Trial design: STEMI patients admitted to non-PCI hospitals and initially treated with heparin, half-dose reteplase, and abciximab were randomized to immediate transfer for urgent PCI (n = 299) or standard therapy with rescue PCI if needed (n = 301).
Results
Conclusions
• STEMI patients treated with half-dose lytics and abciximab did better with immediate transfer for PCI
• This approach reduced death, MI, or refractory ischemia at 30 days
• Benefit driven by reduction in refractory ischemia

DECREASE III
• Myocardial ischemia was significantly reduced with statin (OR 0.53; 95% CI 0.32-0.88, p = 0.016)
• LDL (p < 0.001) and hs-CRP (p 0.001) were lower in statin arm
• Incidence of adverse events was similar
Trial design: Patients undergoing noncardiac vascular surgery were randomized to fluvastatin XL or placebo, in addition to beta-blockers. Clinical outcomes were compared at 1 month.
Results
Conclusions
• Perioperative statin therapy was associated with improved outcomes in high-risk patients undergoing noncardiac vascular surgery
• Results add to current literature on the benefit of statins in the perioperative period

GISSI-HF: n-3 PUFA Study
• No difference between the two arms for primary endpoint (death), but significant difference noted on multivariate analysis (HR 0.91, 95.5% CI 0.83-1.0; p = 0.041)
• No difference in the incidence of first admission for heart failure, but fewer admissions for arrhythmia related issues (p = 0.013)
Trial design: Patients with symptomatic CHF were randomized to 1 g n-3 PUFA daily or placebo, in addition to optimal medical treatment. Clinical outcomes were compared at 12 months.

10• No significant difference in mortality in the n-3
PUFA arm, compared with placebo in patients with symptomatic heart failure, on optimal treatment
• However, multivariate analysis showed n-3 PUFA was associated with small reduction in mortality (absolute RR 1.8%) compared with placebo
• Exact mechanism is unclear, although reduction in readmission for arrhythmias was noted
GISSI-HF: Rosuvastatin Study
• All-cause mortality: 29% with rosuvastatin vs. 28% with placebo (p = 0.94)
• Death or hospital admission for cardiovascular reasons: 57% vs. 56% (p = 0.90), respectively
• Sudden cardiac death: 9.6% vs. 8.6% (p = 0.26), respectively
Trial design: Patients with chronic symptomatic HF were randomized to rosuvastatin 10 mg daily (n = 2,285) or placebo (n = 2,289). Median follow-up, 3.9 years.
Results
Conclusions
• Rosuvastatin 10 mg daily is not beneficial at reducing cardiac outcomes among patients with chronic symptomatic HF
• This study should not temper enthusiasm for statins in indicated situations like ACS

• Lp-PLA2 reduced 59% by darapladib (p < 0.001)
• Plaque deformability: similar between the groups at follow-up (p = 0.22)
• Necrotic core volume: -0.5 mm3 with darapladib (p = 0.71); +4.5 mm3 with placebo (p = 0.009)
• MACE: 17% vs. 19% (p = ns), respectively
Trial design: Patients with CAD were randomized to darapladib 160 mg daily (n = 175) vs. placebo (n = 155). Patients underwent IVUS of a nonintervened segment at baseline and at 12 months.
Results
Conclusions
• Treatment with the Lp-PLA2 inhibitor
darapladib does not affect plaque deformability
• Darapladib appears to stabilize the necrotic lipid core
• Similar adverse events between the groups

• Successful stent implantation: 97.5% for biolimus vs. 95.7% for sirolimus (p = 0.05)
• Death, MI, or TVR: 9.2% vs. 10.5% (p = 0.003 for non-inferiority), respectively
• Stent thrombosis: 1.9% vs. 2.0% (p = 0.84), respectively
Trial design: Patients with stable coronary disease or ACS were randomized to the biolimus-eluting stent with a biodegradable polymer (n = 857) or the sirolimus-eluting stent with a durable polymer (n = 850). Follow-up was for 9 months.
Results
Conclusions
• Biolimus-eluting stent is non-inferior to sirolimus-eluting stent for death, MI, or TVR
• Higher rate of successful implantation with the biolimus-eluting stent
• Theoretically, a biodegradable polymer could decrease late stent thrombosis; however, longer-term follow-up is needed

SYNTAX
• MACCE was significantly lower in CABG arm compared with PCI (12.1% vs. 17.8%, p = 0.0015), especially for diabetics (p = 0.0025)
• Significant ↓ in the need for repeat revascularization in CABG arm (p = 0.0001)
• Death and MI were similar; CVA ↑ with CABG (p = 0.003)
Trial design: Patients with severe three-vessel disease or left main (LM) disease were randomized to either CABG or DES-PCI with paclitaxel-eluting stents. Clinical outcomes were compared at 12 months.
Results
Conclusions
• CABG was associated with fewer repeat revascularizations compared with DES-PCI in patients with LM or three-vessel disease, but a higher rate of stroke
• No difference in death, MI, or thrombosis
• Diabetics are especially more likely to benefit with CABG compared with DES-PCI

• Main reason for PCI only: inoperable (comorbidities); main reason for CABG only: complex anatomy
• PCI outcomes: MACCE (20.4%), mortality (7.3%), MI (4.2%), repeat revascularization (12%), CVA (0)
• CABG outcomes: MACCE (8.8%), mortality (2.5%), MI (2.5%), repeat revascularization (3%), CVA (2.2%)
Trial design: Patients with severe three-vessel or left main (LM) disease who did not meet criteria for entry into the SYNTAX trial were followed for 12 months in the SYNTAX CABG and PCI registry.
Results
Conclusions
• The SYNTAX registry describes outcomes in PCI and CABG in patients not eligible for the SYNTAX trial
• Of all-comers with three-vessel and/or LM disease, 6.4% were considered inoperable; 35% not feasible for PCI
