A Comparison of Prasugrel (CS-747) and Clopidogrel in Acute Coronary Syndrome Subjects Who Are to Undergo Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

August 25, 2010 updated by: Eli Lilly and Company

A Comparison of CS-747 and Clopidogrel in Acute Coronary Syndrome Subjects Who Are to Undergo Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

The sponsors of this investigational drug are developing prasugrel (also known as CS-747) as a possible treatment for patients with acute coronary syndrome (heart attack or chest pain) who need, or are expected to need, a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI; also called a balloon angioplasty). Prasugrel was compared with Clopidogrel to determine which drug is better at reducing deaths, future heart attacks, or stroke.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Subjects Reaching the Composite Endpoint of Cardiovascular (CV) Death, Nonfatal Myocardial Infarction (MI), or Nonfatal Stroke
Time Frame: Randomization up to 15 months
The endpoint in this measure is a combination of CV death, nonfatal MI, or nonfatal stroke. The data is presented by the study population, which is represented as follows: 1) subjects who presented with unstable angina and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (UA/NSTEMI), 2) subjects who presented with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), and 3) all subjects with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) (i.e. all subjects with UA/NSTEMI or STEMI).
Randomization up to 15 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Treated Subjects With Non-Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) Related Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) Study Group Major and Minor Bleeding Events
Time Frame: First dose of study drug up to 15 months (while at risk)
TIMI classification for major and minor bleeding in the subset of subjects who did not undergo a coronary artery bypass operation (CABG) were defined as follows: Major bleeding: any intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) OR any clinically overt bleeding (including bleeding evident on imaging studies) associated with a fall in hemoglobin (Hgb) of ≥5 grams/deciliter (gm/dL)from baseline. Minor Bleeding: any clinically overt bleeding associated with a fall in Hgb of ≥3 gm/dL but <5 gm/dL from baseline. Major bleeding events were further examined as events that were deemed life threatening and/or fatal.
First dose of study drug up to 15 months (while at risk)
Number of Subjects Reaching the Composite Endpoint of Cardiovascular (CV) Death, Nonfatal Myocardial Infarction (MI), or Urgent Target Vessel Revascularization (UTVR)
Time Frame: Randomization to 30 days; randomization to 90 days
The endpoint in this measure is a combination of CV death, nonfatal MI, or UTVR. Results are reported for the All ACS subject population for the 30 and 90 day periods.
Randomization to 30 days; randomization to 90 days
Number of Subjects Reaching the Composite Endpoint of Cardiovascular (CV) Death, Nonfatal Myocardial Infarction (MI), or Nonfatal Stroke
Time Frame: Randomization to 30 days; randomization to 90 days
The endpoint in this measure is a combination of CV death, nonfatal MI, or nonfatal stroke. Results are reported for the All ACS population for the 30 and 90 day periods.
Randomization to 30 days; randomization to 90 days
Number of Subjects Reaching the Composite Endpoint of Cardiovascular (CV) Death, Nonfatal Myocardial Infarction (MI), Nonfatal Stroke, or Rehospitalization for Cardiac Ischemic Events
Time Frame: Randomization up to 15 months
The endpoint in this measure is a combination of CV death, nonfatal MI, nonfatal stroke, or rehospitalization for cardiac ischemic events. Results are reported for the All ACS population.
Randomization up to 15 months
Number of Subjects Reaching the Composite Endpoint of All-Cause Death, Nonfatal Myocardial Infarction (MI), or Nonfatal Stroke
Time Frame: Randomization up to 15 months
The endpoint in this measure is a combination of all-cause death, nonfatal MI, or nonfatal stroke. Results are reported for the All ACS population.
Randomization up to 15 months
