CD40L in Vascular Disease • CD40L antibody inhibits atherosclerotic lesion progression in LDLR -/- mice • CD40L gene deletion inhibits lesion progression in Apo E-/-mice • Soluble form detected in ACS and PCI • Elevated plasma levels of sCD40L identify healthy women at risk for CV events.

INCITE INCITE: Hypothesis • Our central hypothesis is that GP IIb-IIIa inhibitors will modulate peri-PCI inflammation by virtue of their effect on platelet-induced leukocyte activation.
INCITE INCITE: Study Design Elective PCI ASA, heparin (50-70 U/kg) Abciximab 0.25 mg/kg 0.1 mg/kg/min (n=15) Eptifibatide 180/180 mg/kg 2 mg/kg/min (n=15) No GP IIb-IIIa (n=15) RPFA baseline and 10 min post-bolus ELISA: sCD40L, RANTES, IL-6, sICAM-1 Timepoints: Baseline, 30 min, 2 hrs, 24 hrs
Exclusion Criteria -Patients already on GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor -Patients with clear indications for GP IIb/IIIa: -Acute ST elevation MI or non q-wave MI with CPK elevation -Pain at rest with EKG changes < 24 hours -Visible Thrombus -Pain refractory to heparin -Lesions located in vascular grafts or at sites of prior intervention -Bleeding disorder -Thrombocytopenia (plts< 100) -History of GI bleeding -History of stroke or intracranial bleed -Uncontrolled hypertension (SBP > 200 mm Hg, DBP> 100 mm Hg) -Condition requiring oral anticoagulation -History of allergy or contraindication for aspirin or heparin

INCITE Summary • GP IIb/IIIa inhibition lowers levels of sCD40L and RANTES post stenting, possibly conferring anti-inflammatory as well as anti-thrombotic effects.
INCITE Conclusion • These findings may have significant implications for long term benefits associated with GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor use. • The findings of this pilot study need to be examined in a larger clinical trial that confirms these findings and correlates reduction in inflammation with improved clinical outcome.
