Evaluation of a novel, rationally designed, low-molecular-weight heparin during elective PCI: Results of the Phase 2 EMINENCE Trial Sunil V. Rao MD for the EMINENCE Investigators
EMINENCE Trial: Disclosures Presenter disclosures Research funding: Cordis Corporation, Momenta Pharmaceuticals, Portola Pharmaceuticals Off-label uses: Enoxaparin for PCI, fondaparinux for PCI The EMINENCE Trial was funded by Momenta Pharmaceuticals
Unfractionated heparin Advantages: measurable, reversible, experience Disadvantages: platelet activation, HIT (TS), unreliable degree of antithrombin activity LMWH Advantages: more reliable anticoagulation Disadvantages: not measurable, platelet activation, some degree of discomfort during PCI Fondaparinux Advantages: similar efficacy to LMWH with less bleeding Disadvantages: not demonstrated to be safe during PCI, not easily reversible Bivalirudin Advantages: less bleeding, measurable, short half-life Disadvantages: not more efficacious than UFH, trends toward slightly more ischemic events Available Anticoagulant Options
Undesired Sequences Eliminated and Active Binding Sites Positioned on Opposite Ends of Chain
Low-molecular-weight heparin Increased anti-factor II activity compared with other LMWHs Constant Xa/IIa ratio over time Predictable PK/PD Effects are reversible or neutralized with protamine sulfate High bioavailability: IV and SC administration M118 Structure and Properties
EMINENCE Study Design Randomized, open-label, active-controlled, dose-ranging design Patients undergoing elective PCI Pre-PCI antiplatelet (ASA, clopidogrel) therapy Planned GP IIb/IIIa not allowed Vascular sheaths removed 4 hours after last M118 dose or when ACT < 160 sec if assigned to UFH Closure devices allowed; transfemoral encouraged Phase A: 3 arms – 70 U/kg UFH, 75 IU/kg M118, 100 IU/kg M118 Qualitative review by DSMB after 5% of patients enrolled in 75 IU/kg M118 & UFH arms Phase B: 4 arms – 70 U/kg UFH, 50 IU/kg M118, 75 IU/kg M118, 100 IU/kg M118
EMINENCE Study Design Low-risk patients with stable CAD undergoing elective PCI Pre-treat with ASA (325 mg) and clopidogrel 300 mg prior to PCI Baseline ACT measurement Cardiac catheterization Randomization; ASA + clopidogrel M118 50 anti-Xa IU/kg UFH 70 U/kg IV bolus M118 75 anti-Xa IU/kg M118 100 anti-Xa IU/kg 7-day telephone interview 14-day follow-up 30-day follow-up
EMINENCE Primary End Point Composite of 30-day death, MI, repeat revascularization, catheter thrombus, stroke, thrombocytopenia, bailout use of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors, or all bleeding (REPLACE-2 scale*) *Major bleeding Transfusion of > 2 units whole blood or packed red blood cells, or Intracranial hemorrhage, or Retroperitoneal hemorrhage, or A fall in hemoglobin (Hgb) > 4 g/dL (or 12.5% of hematocrit) with no bleeding site identified despite attempts to do so, or Spontaneous or non-spontaneous blood loss associated with a Hgb drop > 3 g/dL (or 10% of hematocrit) *Minor bleeding: Any observed bleeding that does not meet major bleeding criteria
EMINENCE Primary Statistical Analysis Primary end point analyzed on an intent-to-treat basis Main comparison: subjects randomized to UFH vs. subjects randomized to experimental therapy (all M118 doses combined) Primary analysis: non-inferiority analysis of UFH vs. pooled M118 doses Assume control (UFH) rate of 8% Goal to reject an absolute 8% increase in the primary outcome Non-inferiority will be achieved if the upper limit of the 95% CI is less than 0.08 A sample size of 600 patients (150/arm) provides 93% power at a one-sided alpha of 0.05
EMINENCE: Secondary Comparisons Prespecified Primary end point Primary end point minus major bleeding 30-day death or MI 30-day death/MI/repeat revascularization Primary end point and bleeding comparisons between UFH and combined M118 without 50 IU/kg dose Post-hoc Composite of 30-day death/MI/repeat revascularization/24-hr major bleeding TIMI major and minor bleeding
EMINENCE Trial Results: Demographics Background characteristics equally balanced across groups Mean age: 63.8 yrs Sex: 72.4% male, 27.6% female Race: 91.7% White (8.0% Hispanic) 5.8% Black 1.2% Asian 0.8% Other 0.6% Native American Median weight: 90.1 kg Mean 1.5 lesions treated across all groups
Median ACTs at Time of Sheath Pull ACT is primarily influenced by anti-IIa (thrombin) activity. M118 exhibits a greater degree of anti-Xa activity relative to anti-IIa than UFH (Xa:IIa ratio of 1.4:1 vs. 1:1 for UFH). M118 would be expected to have greater anticoagulant activity at lower ACT values than UFH because the additional anti-Xa activity is not reflected in the measurement of ACT. *Protocol recommended sheath removal if ACT < 160 sec if randomized to UFH or at 4 hours postPCI if randomized to M118; “Per Protocol population
Primary and Secondary Efficacy Comparison* *Assumes missing end points were not end points per protocol and statistical analysis plan.

EMINENCE Bleeding: Transfusions 0.0 0.0
EMINENCE: Conclusions (1) M118 is a safe and feasible anticoagulant to administer during elective PCI M118 is comparable to weight-adjusted UFH at preventing a range of PCI-related complications The 75 IU/kg and 100 IU/kg M118 doses appear promising Lower rates of ischemic complications, similar rates of bleeding
EMINENCE: Conclusions (2) Dose-related increase in ACT Similar rates of protocol-defined major bleeding but higher rates of minor bleeding (dose-dependent) The EMINENCE Phase 2 results form the basis for further evaluation of M118 for the treatment of ischemic heart disease
