  1. ACS is a major public health challenge In the US: • Over 1.5 million people experience ACS annually1 In the EU: • ACS is the most common cause of death, accounting for more than 741,000 deaths each year2 • The 6-month post-discharge mortality rate is:3 • 3.6% in patients with UA • 4.8% in patients with STEMI • 6.2% in patients with NSTEMI 1.

  4. Rivaroxaban has the potential to further improve secondary prevention of ACS Oral administration Predictable pharmacology Rapid onset of action Fixed dose Balanced dual mode of elimination Low potential for drug–drug or food–drug interactions* No routine coagulation monitoring Rivaroxaban Rivaroxaban binds directly to the active site of Factor Xa (Ki 0.4 nM) *For full details, see the rivaroxaban Summary of Product Characteristics, available at http://www.xarelto.com Roehrig et al, 2005; Perzborn et al, 2005; Kubitza et al, 2005; 2006a,b,c; 2007a,b

  6. ATLAS ACS 2 TIMI 51 N=15,526* Physician's decision to add thienopyridine or not Stratum 2: ASA +thienopyridine (93%) Stratum 1: ASA alone (7%) ASA dose =75–100 mg/day Placebo n=355 Rivaroxaban 2.5 mg bid n=349 Rivaroxaban 5 mg bid n=349 Placebo n=4821 Rivaroxaban 2.5 mg bid n=4825 Rivaroxaban 5 mg bid n=4827 Event-driven study – 1002 events *184 patients were excluded from the efficacy analyses prior to unblinding because of trial misconduct at three sites Mega et al, 2011

  7. Inclusion criteria Diagnosis of STEMI, NSTEMI, or UA with at least one of the following: ≥0.1 mV ST-segment deviation TIMI risk score ≥4 Patients aged ≥18 years; <55 years only with either: Diabetes mellitus or Prior MI Patients received ASA 75–100 mg/day alone or ASA plus a thienopyridine Based on national/local dosing guidelines Exclusion criteria Increased bleeding risk, e.g. Low platelet count History of intracranial haemorrhage Active internal bleeding Prior stroke or TIA in stratum 2 patients Atrial fibrillation: except single episodes >2 years previously in patients aged <60 years with no evidence of cardiopulmonary disease Main inclusion and exclusion criteria Gibson et al, 2011

  8. Study endpoints/analyses • Primary efficacy endpoint:composite of cardiovascular death, MI and stroke (ischaemic, haemorrhagic or uncertain) • Main safety endpoint: incidence of major bleeding not associated with CABG surgery (according to TIMI bleeding definition) • Primary analysis: log-rank test stratified by thienopyridine use in mITT population with confirmation in an ITT analysis • mITT: all randomized patients and events from randomization up to earliest date of completion of treatment period (i.e. global treatment end date), 30 days after early discontinuation of study drug, or 30 days after randomization (patients randomized but not treated) • ITT: all randomized patients and events observed from randomization up to global treatment end date Gibson et al, 2011

  18. ATLAS ACS 2 TIMI 51: summary • Compared with placebo, rivaroxaban (2.5 or 5 mg bid) on top of ASA or ASA plus clopidogrel showed: • Significant reductions in the rates of death, MI , and stroke • Benefits in all types of ACS  patients (UA, NSTEMI and STEMI ) • More than a 30% reduction in risk of both CV and all-cause mortality (2.5 mg bid) • No increase in fatal bleeding and fatal ICH  • A non-bleeding safety profile similar to placebo • The addition of anticoagulation with rivaroxaban may represent a new treatment strategy in patients after recent ACS Mega et al, 2011
