3 Last Thursday Morning (at TCT)

4 Objective Randomised Blinded Investigation with optimal medical Therapy of Angioplasty in stable angina (ORBITA) Rasha Al-Lamee, MA (Oxon) MB BS MRCP Imperial College London

5 Inclusion criteria Stable angina One or more 70% stenosis in a single vessel Suitable for PCI

6 Randomization Trial design Enrolment assessment CCS SAQ EQ-5D-5L MEDICAL OPTIMIZATION PHASE Prerandomization assessment CCS SAQ EQ-5D-5L Exercise test Stress echo Blinded procedure Research angiogram: ifr, FFR Sedation PCI BLINDED FOLLOW UP PHASE Follow-up Assessment CCS SAQ EQ-5D-5L Exercise test Stress echo Placebo Six weeks Six weeks

14 Secondary endpoint results: Quality of Life Scores PCI Placebo Baseline 6 weeks Baseline 6 weeks SAQ Physical Limitation SAQ Anginal Frequency SAQ Angina Stability Bold values represent significant changes from baseline No between-group differences between arms were detected

15 Secondary endpoint results CCS class improved in both groups CCS class at enrolment CCS class at prerandomization CCS class at followup CCS IV 37% 40% 24% 33% 0% 1% 12% 16% CCS III 35% 34% CCS II CCS I CCS 0 61% 57% 2% 3% PCI Placebo 53% 14% 9% PCI 43% 11% 14% Placebo 13% 39% PCI 20% 29% Placebo

16 ORBITA Results Summary PCI relieved hemodynamic significance of stenoses by physiologic criteria and relieved ischemia by DSE (placebo did not) Exercise time increased by +28 seconds in PCI arm (but not significantly in placebo arm: +12 seconds) Difference between arms (16 seconds) was not significant Most QoL Measures were no different between arms but improved in both (slightly greater with PCI)

17 The implications of ORBITA are profound and farreaching. First and foremost, the results of ORBITA show unequivocally that there are no benefits for PCI compared with medical therapy for stable angina, even when angina is refractory to medical therapy. Based upon these data, all cardiology guidelines should be revised to downgrade the recommendation for PCI in patients with angina despite medical therapy.

19 Two Goals of Therapy in Patients with Stable CAD 1. Improve Symptoms and Quality of Life Measured by soft endpoints (i.e. angina/qol scales) 2. Improve Prognosis Measured by hard endpoints (i.e. death, MI)

20 Appropriateness of Revascularization and Outcomes in the UK Studies using [the RAND] method have shown that overuse of invasive techniques in the management of coronary disease is uncommon, and attention has turned to the issue of underuse Angina at 1 year Hemingway et al. NEJM 2001

22 Freedom from Anti-anginal Meds Despite 32% XO to PCI in the OMT group PCI + OMT compared to OMT resulted in: Significantly less use of nitrates at: - 1 year (53% vs. 67%) - 3 years (47% vs. 61%) - 5 years (40% vs. 57%) Significantly less use of Ca +2 channel blockers at: - 1 year (40% vs. 49%) - 3 years (43% vs. 50%) - 5 years (42% vs. 52%) Boden WE et al. NEJM 2007;356:

Spertus et al, TCT 2010 and Circ CV Qual Outcomes 2013

24 Cumulative Incidence of Worsening Angina: BARI 2D Additionally, among patients with angina at baseline, freedom from angina after randomization was higher among revascularized patients compared to medical therapy Dagenais et al, Circulation 2011

31 Key Characteristics of the ORBITA Population Single vessel disease ~30% FFR negative But angiographically legitimate (real-world practice) Intense medical therapy prior to randomization At randomization, patients symptoms were well-controlled as assessed by SAQ Approximately monthly angina Good exercise tolerance by VO2Max Minimal ischemia by DSE and DTS
