Extended treatment with Brilinta reduces risk of cardiovascular death by 29% in patients with history of heart attack

在欧洲心脏病学会(ESC)国会提供的新的亚分析提供了与长期使用Brilinta相关的心血管(CV)福利的其他证据

2017年8月24日

AstraZeneca today announced results from a new sub-analysis of data from the Phase III PEGASUS-TIMI 54 trial demonstrating a 29% risk reduction in CV death (p=0.0041) from treatment withBrilinta(Ticagrelor)每天两次60mg,与安慰剂相比,服用低剂量阿司匹林的患者,但仍有动脉粥样硬化事件的高风险,这是急性冠状动脉综合征和CV死亡的主要原因。

Patients receivedBrilinta在患有心脏病发作(心肌梗塞,MI)的两年内,或在用二磷酸腺苷(ADP)抑制剂停止抗血小板治疗的一年内。最新结果强调了与长期治疗相关的潜在保护性简历益处,与标准的12个月后治疗期相比Brilinta60毫克,原定于西班牙巴塞罗那的ESC国会全面展出。

The favourable benefit-risk ratio for extended dual anti-platelet treatment withBrilinta60mg was suggested earlier in the PEGASUS trial that provided the data supporting the European Medicines Agency’s approval ofBrilintain the post-MI indication.

哥德堡大学心脏病学教授米凯尔·戴尔伯格(Mikael Dellborg)兼PEGASUS-TIMI 54试验指导委员会成员说:“临床医生和患者在MI高风险中的临床医生和患者的结论很明确:用来治疗Brilinta60mg, either as continuation therapy after the initial 12 month post-event period, or with as limited interruption as possible, is associated with a clear and favourable benefit-risk ratio for this population of patients. This new insight is potentially practice-changing, as while more than seven million people worldwide suffer a heart attack each year, we know that fewer than half receive adequate long-term treatment to reduce their risk of further CV events.”

The sub-analysis of PEGASUS-TIMI 54 data also showed a risk reduction of 20% in all causes of death, and 20% in the composite of CV death, MI or stroke. As expected, major bleeding rates were consistent with the known safety profile ofBrilinta。

Elisabeth Björk, Vice President, Head of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Diseases (CVMD), Global Medicines Development, AstraZeneca, said: “The Phase III PEGASUS-TIMI 54 trial continues to provide valuable data and insights with the potential to benefit both healthcare professionals and their patients. The results reinforce the importance of our continued investment in the science, helping to understand better the unique CV and mortality benefits that our medicines, such asBrilinta, can provide for the millions of patients living with cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death globally1。”

关于Brilinta(ticagrelor)

Brilinta是直接作用的P2Y12receptor antagonist in a chemical class called cyclo-pentyl-triazolo-pyrimidines (CPTPs).Brilintaworks by inhibiting platelet activation and has been shown to reduce the rate of atherothrombotic CV events, such as heart attack or CV death, in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS).

Brilinta, co-administered with aspirin, also known as acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), is indicated for the prevention of atherothrombotic events in adult patients with ACS, or for patients with a history of myocardial infarction (MI) and a high risk of developing an atherothrombotic event.
