Conclusions Darapladib in patients with stable CHD followed for 3.7 years on a background of optimal medical therapy Did not significantly reduce the incidence of the primary composite endpoint of CV death, MI or stroke There was no effect on stroke or total mortality Reduced the prespecified coronary-specific secondary endpoints of major coronary events (1% absolute) and total coronary events (1.5% absolute) with nominal significance (p<0.05) 25
Implications The STABILITY trial is the first large scale randomized global trial to test a novel mechanism of inhibition of inflammation in the atherosclerotic plaque Further analyses of the trial results in subgroups based on biomarkers, including Lp-PLA 2 levels, and genetics will explore if darapladib might be useful in specific patient subsets The STABILITY trial results indicate that darapladib warrants further evaluation in other clinical settings 26
