Conclusions

Efficacy:

Rivaroxaban was non-inferior to warfarin for prevention of stroke and non-CNS embolism.

Rivaroxaban was superior to warfarin while patients were taking study drug.

By intention-to-treat, rivaroxaban was non-inferior to warfarin but did not achieve superiority.

Safety:

Similar rates of bleeding and adverse events.

Less ICH and fatal bleeding with rivaroxaban.

Conclusion:

Rivaroxaban is a proven alternative to warfarin for moderate or high risk patients with AF.

“a small phase II trial in the eyes of someone in the ACS world”

Page 17: John H. Alexander, MD Director, Heart Center SBR Co-Director, DCRI CV Research

Background

Acute heart failure is a major health problem responsible for several million hospitalizations worldwide each year.

Standard therapy has not changed since 1970s and includes diuretics and variable use of vasodilators or inotropes.

In 2001, nesiritide was approved by the FDA to reduce PCWP and improve dyspnea, based on efficacy at 3 hrs.

However, in 2005 two meta-analyses raised concerns regarding the risks of mortality and renal injury.

Subsequently, an independent panel* was convened by Scios Inc and recommended that a clinical trial be conducted to definitively answer the question of nesiritide’s safety and efficacy.

Page 18: John H. Alexander, MD Director, Heart Center SBR Co-Director, DCRI CV Research

To assess whether nesiritide vs placebo, in addition to standard care provides:

• Reduction in rate of HF rehospitalization or all-cause mortality through Day 30

• Significant improvement in self-assessed dyspnea at 6 or 24 hrs using 7-point Likert scale

Nesiritide did not reduce the rate of recurrent heart failure hospitalization or death at 30 days.

Nesiritide reduced dyspnea to a modest degree, consistent with previous findings but did not meet pre-specified protocol criteria for statistical significance at 6 and 24 hours.

Nesiritide did not affect 30-day all cause mortality nor did it worsen renal function as had been suggested by prior meta-analyses of smaller studies.

GRAVITAS: Summary

• Compared with standard-dose therapy, high-dose clopidogrel achieved a modest pharmacodynamic effect in patients with high residual reactivity.

• In patients with high residual reactivity measured after PCI, 6-months of high-dose clopidogrel did not reduce the rate of cardiovascular death, non-fatal MI, or stent thrombosis and did not increase GUSTO severe or moderate bleeding.
