  2. Stroke Facts 15 million stroke / year 6 million deaths 5 million disable • Projected 8 million deaths by 2030 • More than 60% deaths in <70 yrs of age • Reduction of 4%/yr = 6 million fewer deaths in the next 10 yrs

  3. Risk of recurrent stroke, and other vascular events after TIA and stroke stroke, MI or VD MI or CHD stroke Pendlebury et al. Cerebrovascular Dis 2009

Stroke Patients With CAD (%)b

  6. Mechanisms of Platelet Inhibition by Oral Anti-Platelet Therapies P2Y12 Inhibition: Clopidogrel Ticlopidine Prasugrel Ticagrelor ADP P2Y12 ADP Dipyridamole cAMP PAR-1 CollagenTXA2 Activation PLATELET COX TXA2 GP IIb/IIIa (Fibrinogen receptor) Aspirin

  7. Secondary stroke prevention Major therapeutic advances in the last 30 years Well established interventions

  8. Aspirin = Bayer brand name except in U.S. (From the German acetylspirsaure + chemical suffix – in) First synthesized in pure form by Felix Hoffman of Bayer & Co. in 1897.

  9. H. Dreser. Promoted ASA 1899 F. Hoffman. First synthesized ASA 1897

  10. Acetylsalicylic Acid Due to problems with the original Aspirin powder being counterfeited, it became the first pharmaceutical agent ever sold in pill form in early 1900’s.

  11. Bayer’s Latin America sales team for “Mejoral” – 1940s

  12. Bayer factory in Leverkusen, Germany

  13. 1465 males, one or two ASA / day “Not a single case of detectable coronary or cerebral thrombosis occurred among patients who faithfully have adhered to this regimen” Mississippi Valley Medical Journal. 1953 L. Craven, MD. Glendale, CA

  14. Aspirin • Sir John Vane wins Nobel Prize for describing the effect of aspirin on platelets – 1971 • FDA approved for secondary prevention of MI – 1986 • Aspirin remains the most commonly used drug in the world. About 100 M tablets used daily in U.S.

  15. Categories of oral antiplatelet agents by mechanism of platelet inhibition^ ^Other antiplatelet drugs: indobufen, triflusal Reference: Eikelboom JW, Weitz J et al. Antiplatelet drugs. ACCP 2012 Chest 2012: 141: e89S-119s.

  17. Antithrombotic Trialists’ Collaboration287 randomized trials & >135,000 patients(BMJ 2002; 324: 71) Aspirin reduces vascular events (including stroke) about equally in patients with vascular disease, including: Young and old Men and women Hypertensives and non-hypertensives Diabetics and non-diabetics Relative risk reduction: 22% (13% secondary stroke prevention)

  18. Relative effects of antiplatelet regimens in reducing stroke 13% 7.7% 20% 0 10 20 30 40 50 -10 Relative Risk Reduction %

  34. SPS3 Primary Outcome: Ischemic & Hemorrhagic Stroke • Aspirin = 138 (2.7 %/yr) • Aspirin + Clopidogrel = 126 (2.5 %/yr) HR 0.92 (0.73, 1.2) p value 0.52

  35. SPS3 Ischemic Stroke • Aspirin = 125 (2.4 %/yr) • Aspirin + Clopidogrel = 105 (2.1 %/yr) HR: 0.85 (0.66, 1.1). p value: 0.21

  36. SPS3 Efficacy Outcomes *Defined as: stroke, MI, vascular deaths.

  37. SPS3 All Cause Mortality • Aspirin = 77 (1.4 %/yr) • Aspirin + Clopidogrel = 113 (2.1 %/yr) HR 1.5 (1.1, 2.0) p value 0.005

  41. SPS3 MRI Localization of Index Event N=3004 Multiple infarcts 39% Mean size of infarct 1.3 cm (8% >2.0 cm)

  42. SPS3 Etiological Subtypes of Recurrent Ischemic Strokes

  43. SPS3 Conclusions on SPS3 Results • Dual antiplatelet therapy was not more effective than aspirin alone. • Major bleeds were increased. • Unexpectedly, mortality was increased. • These results do not support the use of combination therapy for secondary stroke prevention in patients with lacunar strokes.

  44. Effect of clopidogrel added to aspirin on stroke: metanalysis of 13 RCTs OR=0.81, 95% CI 0.74,0.85 Palacio S, Hart RG et al. International J Stroke 2013 (in press)

  45. Effect of antithrombotic drugs for stroke prevention cannot be meaningfully interpreted without considering ischemic stroke subtypes. • Clopidogrel + aspirin clearly reduces ischemic stroke in atrial fibrillation patients.(ACTIVE A) • Clopidogrel + aspirin does not reduce recurrent lacunar stroke.(SPS3) • Warfarin is far superior to antiplatelet therapy for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation patients, but not for most other causes.(ACTIVE W, WARSS, WASID) • Combining all causes of ischemic stroke in clinical trials (e.g. CHARISMA) masks clinically important differences.
