Abstract
Several studies have investigated the association between P2Y12 reaction unit (PRU) value and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in patients with ischemic heart disease, but there is no well-established consensus on the utility of PRU value. Furthermore, the optimal PRU cut-off value varied with studies. One reason may be that the endpoints and observation periods differed, depending on the study. This study aimed to investigate the optimal cut-off and predictive ability of the PRU value for predicting cardiovascular events, while considering different endpoints and observation periods. We surveyed a total of 338 patients receiving P2Y12 inhibitors and measured PRU during cardiac catheterization. Using time-dependent receiver operating characteristic analysis, we evaluated the cut-off and area under curve (AUC) of the PRU value for two MACEs (MACE ①: composite of death, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, and cerebral infarction; MACE ②: composite of MACE ① and target vessel revascularization) at 6, 12, 24 and 36 months after cardiac catheterization. MACE ① occurred in 18 cases and MACE ② in 32 cases. The PRU cut-off values at 6, 12, 24, and 36 months were 257, 238, 217, and 216, respectively, for MACE ① and 250, 238, 209, and 204, respectively, for MACE ②. The AUCs at 6, 12, 24, and 36 months were 0.753, 0.832, 0.718, and 0.717, respectively, for MACE ① and 0.724, 0.722, 0.664, and 0.682, respectively, for MACE ②. The optimal cut-off and predictive ability of PRU values for cardiovascular events varied depending on different endpoints and duration of the observation periods. A relatively high PRU value is effective for short-term event suppression, but a low value is required for long-term event suppression.

Comparison of Prasugrel and Clopidogrel in Thrombotic Stroke Patients with Risk Factors for Ischemic Stroke Recurrence: An Integrated Analysis of PRASTRO-I, PRASTRO-II, and PRASTRO-III. Cerebrovasc Dis 2023; 52:720-729. [PMID: 37011599 DOI: 10.1159/000529149] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2022] [Accepted: 01/05/2023] [Indexed: 04/05/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with stroke are at a high risk of recurrence, and although they receive antiplatelet therapies such as clopidogrel for secondary prevention of non-cardioembolic stroke, the recurrence rate remains high. Three phase 3 trials (PRASTRO-I/II/III) were conducted to determine the efficacy of prasugrel in preventing recurrent stroke. Here, we performed an integrated analysis of these studies to confirm the generalizability of the PRASTRO-III findings and to supplement the small sample size of the study. METHODS Patients from PRASTRO-I, PRASTRO-II, and PRASTRO-III with ischemic stroke (large-artery atherosclerosis or small-artery occlusion) and at least one of the following were included: hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, or ischemic stroke history. The primary efficacy endpoint was the composite incidence of ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), and death from other vascular causes in the intention-to-treat population. Bleeding events (life-threatening bleeding, major bleeding, and clinically relevant bleeding) were evaluated as the primary safety endpoint. Cumulative incidences and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for the study outcomes using the Kaplan-Meier method. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs were calculated using the Cox regression model. RESULTS The data of 2,184, 274, and 230 patients from PRASTRO-I, PRASTRO-II, and PRASTRO-III, respectively, were analyzed (N = 2,688; prasugrel, N = 1,337; clopidogrel, N = 1,351). Stroke at enrollment was classified as large-artery atherosclerosis in 49.3% of patients and small-artery occlusion in 50.7% of patients. The primary efficacy endpoint composite incidence (prasugrel vs. clopidogrel) was 3.4% versus 4.3% (HR: 0.771, 95% CI: 0.522-1.138). The incidence of each component of the primary efficacy endpoint for prasugrel versus clopidogrel was 3.1% (n = 41) versus 4.1% (n = 55) for ischemic stroke, 0.3% (n = 4) versus 0.2% (n = 3) for MI, and no events of death from other vascular causes. For the primary safety endpoint, bleeding events were reported in 6.0% of patients in the prasugrel group versus 5.5% of patients in the clopidogrel group (HR: 1.074, 95% CI: 0.783-1.473). CONCLUSIONS This integrated analysis supports the findings of PRASTRO-III. Prasugrel is a promising treatment that results in a numerical reduction in the composite incidence of ischemic stroke, MI, and death from other vascular causes in patients with ischemic stroke who are at a high risk of stroke recurrence. No major safety issues were observed for prasugrel.
