Trial Outcomes & Findings for Phase III Acute Coronary Syndrome (NCT NCT00831441)

NCT ID: NCT00831441

Last Updated: 2016-01-27

Results Overview

Event rate was percent of participants with an event of cardiovascular (CV) death, myocardial infarction (MI), or ischemic stroke (number of participants with event/number randomized) per 100 patient (100-pt) years. Study was terminated early and last patient, last visit was in Year 2. Only events confirmed by the adjudication committee were included in the analyses. CV death included deaths due to CV causes (eg, cardiogenic shock, heart failure, arrhythmia/sudden death, cardiac rupture, ischemic stroke, pulmonary embolism, venous/arterial thrombotic events) and other sudden deaths for which an alternative cause was not identified. Intended Treatment Period: the period that started on the day of randomization and ended at the efficacy cut-off date (cut-off date: the date all sites were informed that study drug should be discontinued for all participants, 18 November 2010).

Measure
Placebo BID
Placebo: Tablets, Oral, 0 mg, twice daily. The Treatment Period was planned to be completed after at least 938 participants had a primary efficacy endpoint confirmed by adjudication. After 7392 participants had been randomized into the study, an independent Data Monitoring Committee recommended that the study be terminated early due to a clinically important increase in bleeding among participants randomized to apixaban which was not offset by meaningful reductions in ischemic events. The Study terminated in Year 2.
Apixaban 5 mg BID
Apixaban: Tablets, Oral, 5 mg, twice daily. The Treatment Period was planned to be completed after at least 938 participants had a primary efficacy endpoint confirmed by adjudication. After 7392 participants had been randomized into the study, an independent Data Monitoring Committee recommended that the study be terminated early due to a clinically important increase in bleeding among participants randomized to apixaban which was not offset by meaningful reductions in ischemic events. The Study terminated in Year 2.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Randomization (Day 1) to first event (CV death, MI, ischemic stroke), up to March 2011, approximately 2 years

Population: All randomized participants were analyzed.

Event rate was percent of participants with an event of cardiovascular (CV) death, myocardial infarction (MI), or ischemic stroke (number of participants with event/number randomized) per 100 patient (100-pt) years. Study was terminated early and last patient, last visit was in Year 2. Only events confirmed by the adjudication committee were included in the analyses. CV death included deaths due to CV causes (eg, cardiogenic shock, heart failure, arrhythmia/sudden death, cardiac rupture, ischemic stroke, pulmonary embolism, venous/arterial thrombotic events) and other sudden deaths for which an alternative cause was not identified. Intended Treatment Period: the period that started on the day of randomization and ended at the efficacy cut-off date (cut-off date: the date all sites were informed that study drug should be discontinued for all participants, 18 November 2010).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From first dose to first occurrence of event (TIMI major bleeding) during Treatment Period (first dose to last dose + 2 days), up to March 2011, approximately 2 years

Population: All participants who received at least one dose of blinded study drug and signed informed consent were analyzed.

TIMI Major Bleed Criteria: Fatal bleeding, intracranial hemorrhage, and clinically overt bleeding with a hemoglobin (Hgb) drop of ≥ 5 grams per deciliter (g/dL), or ≥15% absolute decrease in hematocrit. To account for transfusions, Hgb measurements were adjusted for transfusions. A transfusion of 1 unit of blood was assumed to result in an increase by 1 g/dL in Hgb or 3% in hematocrit. Event rate was percent of participants with an event of Major Bleed as per TIMI (number of participants with event/number randomized) per 100 patient (100-pt) years. Only events confirmed by the adjudication committee were included in the analyses. Treatment Period=events with onset from first dose to last dose plus 2 days.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Randomization (Day 1) to first event (All Cause Death, MI, or Stroke), up to March 2011, approximately 2 years

Population: All randomized participants were analyzed.

Cause of death was determined by the principal condition that caused the death, not the immediate mode of death. CV death: included deaths due to CV causes. Non-CV death: included non-CV deaths caused primarily by a malignancy, infection, bleeding, trauma, non-CV system organ failure, or non-CV surgery. Unknown: included deaths that were not attributable to one of the above categories of CV death or to a non-CV cause. MI accounted whether the participant had a recent PCI or CABG surgery. Diagnosis of stroke required a new, non-traumatic, focal neurological deficit of sudden onset, lasting at least 24 hours that was not due to a readily identifiable non-vascular cause. Only events confirmed by the adjudication committee were included in analyses. Intended Treatment Period: Day of randomization (Day 1) to efficacy cut-off date (notification of study termination).

Population: All participants who received at least one dose of blinded study drug and signed informed consent were analyzed.

ISTH Criteria: Acute clinically overt bleeding defined as new onset, visible bleeding or signs or symptoms suggestive of bleeding confirmed by imaging techniques, which can detect the presence of blood (eg, ultrasound, CT, MRI). Major bleeding: acute clinically overt bleeding accompanied by one or more of the following: A decrease in Hgb of 2 g/dL or more over 24 hours; A transfusion of 2 or more units of packed red blood cells (RBCs); Bleeding that occurs in at least one of the following sites: intracranial, intraspinal, intraocular (within the corpus of the eye; thus, a conjunctival bleed is not an intraocular bleed), pericardial, intra-articular, intramuscular with compartment syndrome, retroperitoneal; Bleeding that was fatal. Bleeding events were adjudicated by the Adjudication Committee. Event rate was percent of participants with an event (number with event/number randomized) per 100-pt years. Treatment Period=events with onset from first dose to last dose plus 2 days.

Population: All participants who received at least one dose of blinded study drug and signed informed consent were analyzed.

Bleeding events were adjudicated by the Adjudication Committee and classified according to Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) major, minor, minimal, and International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis (ISTH) major and clinically relevant non-major bleeding (CRNM) criteria. The adjudicated results based on TIMI and ISTH classifications, and programmatically identified events (not adjudicated) according to Global Use of Strategies to Open Occluded Coronary Arteries (GUSTO) classification were used in the analyses of bleeding endpoints. GUSTO Bleed Criteria included Severe or life-threatening: Intracranial hemorrhage, or bleeding that causes hemodynamic compromise requiring intervention; Moderate: Bleeding that requires a blood transfusion, but does not result in hemodynamic compromise; Mild: Bleeding that does not meet criteria for either severe or moderate bleeding. Treatment Period=events with onset from first dose to last dose plus 2 days.

Apixaban: Tablets, Oral, 5 mg, twice daily. The Treatment Period was planned to be completed after at least 938 participants had a primary efficacy endpoint confirmed by adjudication. After 7392 participants had been randomized into the study, an independent Data Monitoring Committee recommended that the study be terminated early due to a clinically important increase in bleeding among participants randomized to apixaban which was not offset by meaningful reductions in ischemic events. The Study terminated in Year 2.

Measure
Apixaban 5 mg BID
n=3672 participants at risk
Apixaban: Tablets, Oral, 5 mg, twice daily. The Treatment Period was planned to be completed after at least 938 participants had a primary efficacy endpoint confirmed by adjudication. After 7392 participants had been randomized into the study, an independent Data Monitoring Committee recommended that the study be terminated early due to a clinically important increase in bleeding among participants randomized to apixaban which was not offset by meaningful reductions in ischemic events. The Study terminated in Year 2.
Placebo BID
n=3643 participants at risk
Placebo: Tablets, Oral, 0 mg, twice daily. The Treatment Period was planned to be completed after at least 938 participants had a primary efficacy endpoint confirmed by adjudication. After 7392 participants had been randomized into the study, an independent Data Monitoring Committee recommended that the study be terminated early due to a clinically important increase in bleeding among participants randomized to apixaban which was not offset by meaningful reductions in ischemic events.
