PRE/POST DAPT in NSTEMI evidence beyond

any DUBIUS

University of Padua

Clinical History

Male 71 years old

Risk factors:

Hypertension

Carotid Vasculophaty

COPD

Diabetic (IR)

Admitted because of NSTE ACS in our Hospital

EKG

2D-ECHO: EDV 70 ml/m2, EF 57%, anterior hypokinesia

TIMI Risk Score = 5

Death, MI or uTVR: 26% @ 14 days

Grace Risk Score = 134

In-Hospital Death: 4.6 ---- 6-Months Death 12%

Crusade bleeding Score = 40

In-hospital Major Bleeding: 9.2%

Expected cath 12-24 hrs

Up vs Downstream

DAPT?

Risk-based

approach

Trial-based

approach

Risk-based

approach

1.ACS Trial’s MACE rate has fallen over the past 10 years

2.Risk calculator of old data/old drugs may

Overestimate the contemporary ischemic risk

Underestimate the contemporary bleeding risk

3.Risk score is rarely used in trials as enrollment criteria

4.Highest absolute risk do not always predicts greatest

efficacy

5.NACE risk score are absent

6.RC applied to general population pts not enrolled in

trials, do not ensure that pts selected for Tx are those

who benefit

Evidence (NSTEMI) upstream vs

downstream?

Clopigogrel: Upstream flawed superiority UP vs DOWN

Prasugrel: Downstream > Upstream

Ticagrelor: Downstream > Upstream unsettled

“STEMI no overall advantage”

GPI:

I IIa IIb III

A When coronary anatomy is

not known.

ESC 2015 UA/ NSTEACS guidelines

“UP versus Down -stream” strategy

ESC guidelines, 2015

“NO recommendation for or against pretreatment

with TICA or Clopidogrel can be formulated”

When upstream is selected

“optimal timing of TICA or CLOP administration

in NSTE-ACS patients scheduled for an invasive

strategy has not been adequately investigated”

Up vs Downstream

DAPT?

RANDOMIZE !

RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL

Downstream versus Upstream strategy for the

administration of P2Y12 receptor Blockers In

non ST elevated acUte coronary Syndromes

with initial invasive indication.

non inferiority

DUBIUS trial n≈ 2528

1st

Primary EP: 30-d NACE (CV death, MI, stroke, BARC 3, 4, 5)

*60 mg oral bolus then 5 mg/die if >75 yrs or < 60 kg

Randomization 2nd II EP powered for

EQUIVALENCE

EQUIVALENCE CALCULATIONS

ASSUMPTIONS: Two-sided equivalence test for rejecting the hypothesis H0: |π2 - π1 |≤ 0.04 (i.e.:

Plasugrel and Ticagrerol will not differ for more than 4% in terms of NACE)

α = 0.05, confidence bounds 0.95

Overall sample size of 1100 patients (550 Prasugrel + 550 Ticagrerol) An incidence rate of rates π1 = 0.05 in Ticagrerol and π2 = 0.085 in Prasugrel (odds ratio

of 1.765) and a true difference in incidence rates of 0.01 between treatment groups

An allocation rate of 1:1

Based on the above assumptions, the power (1 - β) is 0.805.

WHY NACE?

Bleedings

increase

mortality ~16x

NACE Rationale in DUBIUS TRIAL:

Bleeding increases directly and indirectly mortality

FDA RECOMMENDATION

Ischemic (efficacy) and Bleeding (safety) endpoints should be

comparable (hard vs hard)

NACE rate should not derived post-hoc (e.g. TRITON

TIMI 38 and PLATO) but prespecified and powered
