  1. CURE, HARM and GIMAcademic ½ DayOctober 24th 2001 Dr Hui N. Lee, MD, M.Sc., FRCPC Community GIM, Sault Ste Marie Clinical Assistant Professor McMaster University

  2. Objectives • Practical knowledge of current ACS management (October 2001) • Overview of CURE study and role of clopidrogel in ACS therapy • Principles of evaluation of Harm • Understanding of Community GIM role • Invitation for electives Up North

  3. Scenario • 67 year old man, non-Q MI with troponin I 8.2 / CK 300 • Diabetes, HTN, dyslipidemia, ex-smoker • No previous MI or CAD, but GI bleed • Was on ASA, other standard meds • Now 3 days post MI • Rx ASA, clopidrogel, stop enoxaparin, other Rx standard

  4. Non-ST Elevation ACS • When do you add Clopidogrel? • When do you stop Clopidogrel? • How do you place Clopidogrel in relation to other expensive/potentially risky interventions: • angiogram • LMW heparin • IV G2b3 inhibitors • Do you put Clopidogrel on formulary

  12. Study Design • Randomized, double-blind, parallel group, clinical trial of clopidogrel vs placebo in patients with ACS • All patients receive ASA (75-325 mg) • International trial (28 countries) • 12,562 patients (482 Hospitals) • Central randomization • 3-12 month Rx and follow-up • Main outcomes: -CV death/MI, stroke • -Above + refractory ischemia

  13. Study Objectives • To evaluate if clopidogrel is superior to placebo in preventing • CV death, MI, stroke (Primary at  0.045) • Above and refractory ischemia (Co-primary at  0.01)

  14. Inclusion Criteria • Ischemic symptoms, suspected to represent UA or MI without ST segment elevation • Randomized within 24 hours of onset of CP • and ECG evidence of ischemia at inclusion or already elevated cardiac enzymes or Troponin I or T to at least 2 x ULN* * Prior to June 1999, pts > 60 yrs with normal ECG allowed Revised July, 1999

  15. Outcome Definitions (1/2) CV Death: Excludes clear non-CV deaths MI: Two of three usual criteria (CP, ECG or enzyme changes) Stroke: Neurological deficit  24 hrs (CT/MRI encouraged) Refractory Ischemia: Inhosp*: recurrent ischemia on max med Rx + ECG changes + intervention  1 day After discharge: Rehosp for UA with ECG changes Severe Ischemia*: Changes similar to in hospital Refractory Ischema, but no intervention Recurrent Angina*: All other ischemic CP in hospital

  16. Outcome Definitions (2/2) Major Bleeds: Significantly disabling, intraocular (vision loss), or transfusion of  2 units Classified as Life Threatening if: Hb  > 5g/dl, hypotension needing IV inotropes, surgery to stop bleeding, symptomatic ICH or transfusion or  4 units of blood

  17. Patient Schedule 300 mg loading + 75 mg o.d. dose Clopidogrel(~6,250 patients) Patients with Acute CoronarySyndrome Aspirin 75-325mg R 3 months £double-blind treatment£ 12 months (UA or MI Without STelevation) Aspirin 75-325mg Placebo 1 tab o.d.(~6,250 patients) Day 1 1 m.

  32. Harm: Results and Applicability • What are the results? • How strong is the association between exposure and outcome? • How precise is the estimate of the risk? • How can I apply the results to patient care? • Were the study patients similar to mine? • Was f/u duration adequate? • What is the magnitude of the risk? • Should I attempt to stop the exposure?
