Primary Objectives
Primary Objective
To test the hypothesis that vorapaxar will ↓ athero- thrombotic events in stable pts w/ atherosclerosis treated for ≥1 yr in addition to standard therapy.
Parallel Scientific Objectives
To test the hypotheses that …
- 1. antagonism of PAR1 is a valuable novel target
- 2. adding a new antiplatelet agent to ASA is
effective for long-term 2° prevention in stable pts

Summary
When added to standard of care, including aspirin & thienopyridine, in stable pts w/ hx atherothrombosis, vorapaxar significantly …
- ↓ CV death, MI, or stroke
- ↑ mod & severe bleeding, including ICH
In addition, our findings indicate …
- significant ↓ in thrombosis adding to standard
rx, including ASA, for long-term rx in pts with prior MI
- unacceptable ICH risk in pts with prior stroke
- uncertain benefit in pts with PAD
** CONFIDENTIAL FINAL DRAFT / EMBARGOED **
Conclusions
- 1. PAR-1 antagonism is an effective
approach to reducing recurrent atherothrombosis
- 2. More intensive antiplatelet therapy for
long-term 2° prevention reduces recurrent thrombosis in patients with prior MI
- 3. Patient selection is necessary to balance
the antithrombotic benefit vs. risk of bleeding
