An Update on Oral Anti-platelet therapy in patients with non-st Myocardial Infarction R. Scott Wright, MD, FACC, FESC, FAHA, Professor of Medicine Mayo Clinic Fall Managed Care Forum November 2013 3098590-1 Disclosures Consulting Roche/Genentech, Sanofi-Regeneron Updated August 2013 1
ACS is driven by platelet thrombosis 2
Why are platelets so important in ACS? The final culprit that triggers the syndrome and obstructs coronary blood flow, producing clinical symptoms Platelet activation triggers a cascade that likely promotes vasospasm and further platelet thrombosis a vicious cycle 3
Options for platelet blockade The platelets have multiple receptors that activate with exposure to tissue factor or thrombus. Clinicians have multiple pathways to target with pharmacotherapy Multiple drug therapy gets to be expensive especially in the long-term 4
What are we certain of in 2013? Use of aspirin is strongly associated with risk reduction and improvement in survival Aspirin remains the single most cost effective therapy in ACS. Adding a second anti-platelet agent is now the standard of care in ACS Rx. 5
Class I and Class IIa Recommendations for Initial Management of UA/NSTEMI Diagnosis of UA/NSTEMI is likely or definite ASA (class I, LOE: A) Clopidogrel if ASA intolerant (class I, LOE: A) Select management strategy Initial conservative strategy or unknown Invasive strategy Initiate anticoagulant therapy (class I, LOE: A) Acceptable options include Enoxaparin or UFH (class I, LOE: A) Fondaparinux (class I, LOE: B)* Enoxaparin or fondaparinux preferred over other GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors (class IIa, LOE: B) Initiate anticoagulant therapy (class I, LOE: A) Acceptable options include Enoxaparin or UFH (class I, LOE: A) Bivalirudin (class I, LOE: B) Initiate clopidogrel (class I, LOE: B) Or Initiate Ticagrelor (Class I, LOE:C) CABG: maintenance ASA (class I, LOE: A) Wright et al: Circ 123, 2011 PCI: add 2nd antiplatelet agent (class I, LOE: A) P2Y12 (class I, LOE: B) or GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor (class I, LOE: A) (IV eptifibatide or tirofiban preferred) Next step per triage decision at angiography PCI: class I: Clopidogrel (if not begun precath) (LOE: A) or Prasurgrel (LOE: B) or Selectively, GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor (if not begun precath) (LOE: A) Rx: D/C GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors if begun and give clopidogrel per conservative strategy 6
3098590-13 Challenges facing management of non-st ACS in 2013 and beyond Single therapy with aspirin is no longer the standard of care every patient needs at least two oral anti-platelet agents DAPT Triple anti-platelet therapy should be used in some patients but should it be reserved for the cath lab with PCI and perhaps for certain high risk subsets prior to PCI? Selection of which agents to use for DAPT and TAPT remain a challenge 7

Challenges facing management of non-st ACS in 2013 and beyond DAPT with aspirin and clopidogrel is proven therapy in non-stemi for those being managed conservatively or invasively DAPT with aspirin and prasugrel is reserved only for those undergoing PCI DAPT with ticagrelor is effective for patients undergoing PCI but what about those managed conservatively?

Study Design 9326 patients in 8 regions, 52 countries (Primary: 7243 patients < 75 years old) Medically Managed UA/NSTEMI Patients Randomization Stratified by: Age, Country, Prior Clopidogrel Treatment (Primary analysis cohort Age < 75 years) Median Time to Enrollment = 4.5 Days Medical Management Decision 72 hrs (No prior clopidogrel given) 4% of total Medical Management Decision 10 days (Clopidogrel started 72 hrs in-hospital OR on chronic clopidogrel) 96% of total Clopidogrel 1 300 mg LD + 75 mg MD Prasugrel 1 30 mg LD + 5 or 10 mg MD Clopidogrel 1 75 mg MD Prasugrel 1 5 or 10 mg MD Minimum Rx Duration: 6 months; Maximum Rx Duration: 30 months Primary Efficacy Endpoint: CV Death, MI, Stroke 1. All patients were on aspirin, and low-dose aspirin (< 100 mg) was strongly recommended. For patients < 60 kg or 75 years, 5 mg MD of prasugrel was given. Adapted from Chin CT et al.

Dual anti-platelet therapy in NSTEMI There are many reasons why NSTEMI patients are not referred for PCI Some NSTEMI patients may have type II infarcts rather than type I Co-morbidities like renal failure may influence a decision for PCI. What about enriching the analyzed cohort for CAD using prerandomization coronary angiography? DAPT benefit without PCI CURE was enriched for subjects not undergoing urgent or early PCI Selection bias clearly impacts who is referred for angiography vs who is not referred for angiography The diagnosis of MI was based upon CK-MB elevation in CURE Small changes in ctnt or I in recent trials thus enriching these trials with Type II infarcts (infarcts likely not due to plaque rupture) 13

Oral Anti-platelet agents Are there issues or unique properties of these agents that allow us to tailor their use? CYP 2C19 issue Bleeding risks? Concurrent aspirin dosing concerns? Onset of anti-platelet action? 3098590-41 FDA Warning on Clopidogrel March 12, 2010 The FDA issued a boxed warning about the diminished effectiveness of clopidogrel in patients with impaired ability to convert the drug into its active form. Should we consider off label use of Prasugrel to protect patients from this concern? 21
Clopidogrel A Pro-drug 15% of absorbed clopidogrel is activated by the Liver via several CYP450 isoenzymes Of these isoenzymes, CYP2C19 is responsible for 45% of the first step of activation. 22
CYP2C19 Variants Variants of CYP2C19 are responsible for the variability in clopidogrel active metabolite bioavailability CYP2C19*2 encodes a nonfunctional protein CYP2C19*3, *4, *5, *8 also exist ETHNICITY and CYP2C19*2 Distribution of CYP2C19*2 varies by ethnicity Chinese 50% have it African American 34% Caucasian 25% Hispanic 19% 23
Impact of CYP2C19*2 Multiple studies support an association between this allele variant and increased risk of CV events.
