Background Inflammation is the hallmark of Atherosclerosis and Restenosis Monocytes/macrophages are the key mediators of inflammation systemically and locally within the vessel wall Patients in a pro-inflammatory state are at higher risk for Restenosis
(1) Free Bisphosphonates (BPs) can not cross cell membranes (2) Unique Liposomes as Trojan horses; Encapsulated BP are phagocytosed exclusively by monocytes Targeting Monocytes (3) Liposome degradation in lysosome releases BP (4) Intracellular BPs inhibit the cell

BLAST – BIOrestLiposomal Alendronate with StentingsTudy BIOrest LABR-312 is a unique, specific and transient means of modulating monocytes HYPOTHESIS: Modulation of systemic and local inflammation will attenuate intimal hyperplasia after BMS implantation OBJECTIVE: To assess the safety and efficacy of a single IV bolus of LABR-312 in the treatment of de novostenotic lesions in native coronary arteries in a population undergoing PCI with implantation of a BMS
BLAST Trial Phase II dose-finding, randomized, multi-center, prospective, double blind. N=225 Patients Study PI: Prof. Shmuel Banai – Tel Aviv Medical Center Participating Medical Centers and PI’s: • Tel Aviv Sourasky – S. Banai • ShaareZedek – Y. Almagor • Baruch Padeh – Y. Hasin • Bnei Zion – U. Rosenschein • Rabin – R. Kornowski • Sheba – V. Guetta • Lady Davis – B. Lewis • Meir – M. Mosseri • Kaplan – O. Ayzenberg • Hillel Yaffe – A. Frimerman • Western Galilee – S. Atar
BLAST Trial - Study Endpoints Primary Endpoint: In-Stent angiographic Late Loss @ 6m (High / Low Dose vs. Placebo) Secondary endpoints: IVUS measurements, clinical outcomes, monocytecount and function by FACS (Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorter) Pre-Specified subgroup analyses including: Diabetes Baseline monocyte count Unstable Angina
Total Patients Recruited N=225 Randomization 1:1:1 Placebo (saline) N=74 High Dose (10µg LABR-312) N=74 Low Dose (1µg LABR-312) N=77 BMS Stenting (Pressilion)+Drug Administration QCA, IVUS, Blood sampling for monocytes @ Screening, 0, 8, 16, 24 h 30d Clinical f/u 1º Endpt 6m Clinical+Angiographic f/u Per-Protocol Analysis on a per-patient basis Placebo N=57 (77% f/u) High Dose N=59 (80% f/u) Low Dose N=56 (73% f/u) 6m IVUS f/u subset Placebo N=26 High Dose N=26 Low Dose N=31
Main Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria De-novo lesions in native coronary arteries LL<30mm, 2.5mm<RVD<3.5mm, 1 or 2 VD No bifurcations, LM, Ostial Up to 3XULN cTn DM NSTEMI Unstable Angina Pro-Inflammatory Patients
BLAST Trial Main Safety Results CEC Adjudicated @ 180d * MI excluding peri-procedural = 1.8%, 1.8%, 1.7% Placebo, Low Dose, High Dose respectively
But are they truly the same? Non-Gaussian p<0.005 Gaussian p>0.25
Cumulative Distributions At 6 month follow up
Hypothesized Differential Response : Gaussian Single peak : Non-Gaussian Left-skewed/double peak
Protocol mandated sub-group analysis Pre-hoc analysis based on inflammatory state • Diabetes • Baseline monocyte count
Pre-Specified Inflammatory Subgroup 50-50 Split based on baseline monocyte count * Low Monocytes = Less than median value pre-injection ** High Monocytes = More than median value pre-injection
Conclusions There were no safety concerns associated with BIOrest LABR-312 In the total study cohort, LABR-312 had no overall effect on in-stent Late Loss, the primary endpoint In the pro-inflammatory patients (mandated subgroup analysis including >50% of the cohort), there was a statistically significant and clinically meaningful reduction in Late Loss with LABR-312 This differential response could be identified and predicted a-priori, providing the potential for personalized medicine Future clinical trials will focus on the documented clinical effect in pro-inflammatory patients
