Gabriel Steg, Anthony Gershlick, Jean Francois Tanguay, Stephan Windecker, Kirk Garratt, David Kandzari, David Lee, Daniel Simon, Adrian Corneliu Iancu, Jaroslaw Trebacz, Laura Mauri, on behalf of he Dual Antiplatelet Therapy (DAPT) Study Investigators
2 2 DAPT Trial Secondary Analysis: Bare metal stents are a commonly used alternative to drug eluting stents (DES) particularly for patients presenting with acute coronary syndromes or in whom dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) has perceived increased bleeding risk. We aimed to determine: 1. Whether the risks of stent thrombosis (ST) and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) differ from BMS and DES 2. Whether the optimal duration of DAPT therapy differs for BMS and DES
3 DAPT: Study Design Eligible for Enrollment after PCI Any PCI with FDA approved DES or BMS >18 years of age No contraindications to dual antiplatelet therapy Able and willing to provide written informed consent Eligible for Randomization at 12 m Stratified by DES v BMS, drug type, study site, complexity (ACS or lesion-based) Not Eligible for Randomization at 12 m Death MI or repeat PCI at > 6 weeks CABG Stroke Major Bleed Poor Compliance Total 33 month follow-up 18 mos 12 m DAPT Arm Aspirin + blinded placebo 30 m DAPT Arm Aspirin + blinded thienopyridine Randomized treatment period m Observation period 30-33m off treatment Total 33 month follow-up Primary analysis Randomized DES treated subjects, 12-30m Secondary analysis 1.propensity matched BMS to DES 0-33m 2. BMS randomized 12 vs 30m ITT 2 co-primary endpoints: stent thrombosis (ST) and MACCE (death, myocardial infarction or stroke) Powered safety endpoint: moderate/severe bleeding (GUSTO) Mauri, Kereiakes et al AHJ 2010;160:

5 Prespecified Key Secondary Analysis 1) Propensity matched BMS to DES 0-33 months comparison Hypothesis: DES are non-inferior to BMS for ST and/or MACCE using risk difference (RD) approach Analysis population: Enrolled subjects with 29 months follow-up or ST / MACCE event. BMS to DES match (1: 1-8 ratio) exactly on STEMI and remaining (total 55) variables via propensity score using caliper of 0.10.
6 6 Prespecified Key Secondary Analysis Propensity match sample size assumptions: True ST and MACCE rates for DES + BMS 0-33 months 1.67%, 9.5% respectively NI margins 0.97% (ST); 2.28% (MACCE) Minimum matched DES:BMS ratio 2: evaluable DES matched with 1965 evaluable BMS subjects provides >80% power to reject null hypothesis using 1-sided test of non-inferiority at significance for each endpoint 2) BMS randomized 30 vs 12 months DAPT therapy (ITT)

24 24 Conclusions (2) BMS 12 vs 30 months Randomized ITT Magnitude of reduction in ST risk with longer (30 months) duration thienopyridine therapy appears consistent for both BMS and DES, based on lack of interaction (P int=0.42) and hazard ratios < 1.0 (DES HR 0.29, BMS HR 0.49) In BMS treated patients, prolonged thienopyridine therapy (30 months or longer) may provide durable ischemic benefit in addition to increased bleeding risk, and requires further study.
