1 Dual Antiplatelet Therapy: Time for a Paradigm Shift? 5 years after PLATO Experience from the Daily Clinical Practice Hans Rickli

2 Goals with antithrombotic treatment Acute coronary syndrome Risk reduction of cardiovascular events Myocardial infarction Death Stroke Risk reduction of stent thrombosis Prehospital treatment to achieve rapid and effective platelet inhibition and anticoagulation Minimizing the risk of bleeding

3 Complications and outcome in STEMI patients (N=27 207) Reduction of time delays Better risk stratification Invasive approach Antithrombotic therapy *developing during hospitalization

4 Reperfusion therapy in STEMI patients (N=27 207) P<0.001

5 P2Y12 inhibitors at discharge in ACS patients (N=12,278)

15 Guidelines are usefull but don t stop thinking

17 Important points to consider: Prasugrel Ticagrelor Study design PCI study All-Comers -study invasive invasive or conservative conservative 0 % 28 % Revascularization strategy: PCI PCI or CABG CABG: 1 % 10 % of the study group and 14% of the invasive gr. PCI: 99 % 62 % STEMI: 26 % 38 % Loading with Clopidogrel: Relatively late 300 mg early mg Triton-TIMI 38: New Engl J Med 2007;357: Plato: N Engl J Med 2009;361:

18 Primary endpoint: Ticagrelor 0,5 1,0 1,5 Risk reduction as compared to Clopidogrel Risk increase as compared Clopidogrel Triton-TIMI 38: New Engl J Med 2007;357:2001 Plato: N Engl J Med 2009;361:

19 Conservative management: Total mortality Prasugrel Clopidogrel Trilogy ACS Without benefit as compared to Clopidogrel in TRITON no conservative group! Ticagrelor 6,1 % (signifikant) Clopidogrel 8,2 % in PLATO: n = 5216 = 28% 0,5 1,0 1,5 Risk reduction as compared to Clopidogrel Risk increase as compared Clopidogrel

20 Major bleedings: ( TIMI major ) without CABG-Patients Prasugrel 2,4 % (significant) Clopidogrel 1,8 % Ticagrelor 2,8 % (significant) Clopidogrel 2,2 % 0,5 1,0 1,5 Risk reduction as compared to Clopidogrel Risk increase as compared Clopidogrel

21 PLATO Trial PLATO CABG substudy Primary endpoint (MACCE) 11.7% Overall mortality 9.7% 9.8% 4.7% Major bleeding Major bleeding 11.6% 11.2% Wallentin L et al. NEJM 2009;361: Held C et al. JACC 2011;57:

22 trial stopped early when a planned interim analysis showed that pretreatment was associated with an increased risk of major bleeding 7d: (2.6% vs. 1.4%, p=0.006) 30 days (2.9% vs. 1.5%, p=0.002)

23 Clopidogrel vs Prasugrel/Ticagrelor Key messages Prasugrel and Ticagrelor: net clinical benefit over Clopidogrel in ACS patients Ticagrelor evaluated in allcomers study (PLATO) Benefit through all subgroups CABG/Conservative tx No restriction in elderly (>75yrs), weight < 60kg and history of TIA/Stroke Prasugrel in PCI study (TRITON) Good results in STEMI pts, diabetic population No benefit in patients with conservative management (Trilogy ACS) Elevated bleeding risk with pretreatment (Accoast) not recommended, if history of Stroke - dose reduction if age > 75 yrs, weight < 60kg)

24

25 Major adverse CV events up to 30 days

26 Definite stent thrombosis up to 10 days

27 Definite stent thrombosis up to 30 days

28 Conclusion Pre-hospital ticagrelor administration a short time before PCI in patients with ongoing STEMI is safe but does not improve pre-pci coronary reperfusion. It may, however, reduce the risk of post-pci stent thrombosis.

34 Trends in triple antithrombotic therapy at discharge in ACS patients with atrial fibrillation at admission (n=294) Increasing rate of Combination of newer P2Y12 inhibitors together with OAC - In hospital bleeding, in hospitaloutcome, at 1 yr? Increasing rate of triple tx with NOACs Unpublished data

35 5 years after PLATO: What else?

36 5 years after PLATO Experience from the Daily Clinical Practice Risk reduction of cardiovascular events remains still a goal (balance between thrombotic and bleeding risk) newer antithrombotics are integrated in daily practice in ACS Management of ACS patients in regional networks: need of simple and clear strategy In contrast to the guidelines a substantial number of ACS patients is treated with Prasugrel or Ticagrelor in combination with anticoagulation (VKA or NOACs)
