Trial Summary
INNOVATE PCI Title: Intravenous and Oral Elinogrel, a Selective and Reversible P2Y12 Receptor Inhibitor in Patients Undergoing Nonurgent PCI Trial Sponsor: Portola Pharmaceuticals Year Presented: 2010 Topic(s): Interventional Cardiology, General Cardiology Summary Posted: 08/30/2010 Writer: Anthony A. Bavry, M.D., M.P.H., F.A.C.C. Author Disclosure: NOTHING TO DISCLOSE Reviewer: Christopher P. Cannon, M.D., F.A.C.C. Reviewer Disclosure: CONSULTING FEES/HONORARIA: Novartis, Alnylam, BMS EQUITY INTERESTS: Automedics Medical Systems RESEARCH/RESEARCH GRANTS: Merck, Accumetrics , Sanofi-aventis/Bristol-Myers Squibb Parnership, AstraZeneca Takeda, Glaxo Smith Kline, Intekrin OTHER FINANCIAL BENEFIT: Pfizer Description: The goal of the trial was to evaluate treatment with the intravenous (IV) and oral P2Y12 receptor inhibitor PRT060128 (elinogrel) compared with clopidogrel during nonurgent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Elinogrel is a direct acting agent, which competitively binds to the P2Y12 receptor. Hypothesis: This is a phase II dose-finding study for elinogrel. Drugs/Procedures Used: Patients undergoing nonurgent PCI were randomized to one of four groups prior to PCI: 1) elinogrel 80 mg IV, then 50 mg oral twice daily; 2) elinogrel 80 mg IV, then 100 mg oral twice daily; 3) elinogrel 80 mg IV, then 150 mg oral twice daily; or 4) clopidogrel 300-600 mg, then 75 mg daily. After the trial began, the Data Safety and Monitoring Board recommended increasing the IV dose of elinogrel from 80 mg to 120 mg and discontinuing the 50 mg twice daily arm. The chronic phase was also extended from 2 to 4 months. Principal Findings: Overall, 616 patients were randomized. In the pooled elinogrel 150 mg group, the median age was 61 years, 22% were women, body mass index was 29 kg/m2, 40% were diabetics, 45% were on chronic clopidogrel therapy, and femoral access was used in 75%. Inhibition of platelet aggregation was greater with elinogrel versus clopidogrel. There were no TIMI major bleeds in any group. There was a numerical increase in access bleeds requiring medical attention with higher doses of elinogrel compared with clopidogrel. Ischemic outcomes are similar across the study groups. Death, MI, stroke, or revascularization occurred in approximately 2.8% of the elinogrel 150 mg group, 4% of the elinogrel 100 mg group, and 1.5% of the clopidogrel group (p = NS). Any serious adverse event occurred in 12.6% of the elinogrel 150 mg group, 14.9% of the elinogrel 100 mg group, and 11.1% of the clopidogrel group. Dyspnea occurred in 12.1%, 15.4%, and 4.3%, whereas alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >3 x upper limit of normal occurred in 4.8%, 4.0%, and 1.0%, respectively. Interpretation: Among patients undergoing nonurgent PCI, elinogrel resulted in greater antiplatelet effect compared with clopidogrel. There were no TIMI major bleeds in any group, although access site bleeds that required medical attention were numerically higher with increasing doses of elinogrel. Similar to ticagrelor, dyspnea was more common with the study drug. Certain properties of elinogrel are attractive such as the IV and oral formulations, which can be used for acute and chronic settings; however, the increase in liver enzymes will need to be carefully monitored during future phase III studies.
