CEREA DES TCT 2009 • No conflict of interest
CEREA DES Protocol • CEREA-DES is an Italian, spontaneous(NOT sponsored), multicenter, randomized study that enrolled375 patients with CAD: • BMS(control group) • DES(DES group, limited to Cypher and Taxus stents) • BMS followed by prednisone treatment (prednisone group) Ribichini et al. J Cardiovasc Med 2009;10:192
CEREA DES Aim of the Study:comparison of the primary endpoint obtained in a control group of patients treated with BMS versus two study groups: DES or BMS plus oral prednisone Primary endpoint: event-free survival of death, MI and recurrence of ischemia needing TVR at one year. Secondary endpoints: event free survival at 2 and 3 years including major bleeding. Restenosis rate at 9 months by QCA, and cost-effectiveness at 1,2 and 3 years. Sample Size: the expected primary endpoint rates are 90% for DES and for prednisone-treated patients and 77% for BMS. A sample size of 120 patients per group provides a 80% power 125 pts per arm were included to obviate for drop-out Ribichini et al. J Cardiovasc Med 2009;10:192

CEREA DES CEREA-DES CONCLUSIONS • The clinical results of DES treatment in an independent researchconfirm • the expected performance of Taxus and Cypher stents at one year 2. Previous results obtained with oral prednisione in small, single-centre experiences are replicated in this randomized, multi-centre, study. Oral prednisone after BMS yields good clinical results and can be an alternative to patients that may not receive DES 3. The outcome ofpatients treated with BMShas greatly improved over years with low rate of events compared to previous studies. Indeed, better stent designs and optimal medical treatment yielded better results than expected in the control group
CEREA DES CEREA-DES CONCLUSIONS The main difference bewteen a DES and a systemic drug therapy study: After coronary intervetions, an adequete and effective systemic treatment, like prednisone, together with statins, RAS inhibitors, anti-platelet drugs, and beta blockers, puts THE PATIENT rather than THE ARTERY at the centre of our medical effort. Thank you
CEREA DES BACK UP SLIDES Statistical note: “The study was designed as a superiority trial, to compare DES, and BMS plus prednisone, with BMS alone. The direct comparison of the two study groups (DES vs BMS plus prednisone) as a non-inferiority trial would be more appropriate and of greater interest. However, the sample size required for a pairwise comparison of the three groups, or even more, for a non-inferiority trial between DES and BMS plus prednisone, would be over 2507 patients even keeping the non-inferiority margin as high as 25%.
