Conclusions Efficacy: Safety: Conclusion: Rivaroxaban was non-inferior to warfarin for prevention of stroke and non-CNS embolism. Rivaroxaban was superior to warfarin while patients were taking study drug. By intention-to-treat, rivaroxaban was non-inferior to warfarin but did not achieve superiority. Safety: Similar rates of bleeding and adverse events. Less ICH and fatal bleeding with rivaroxaban. Conclusion: Rivaroxaban is a proven alternative to warfarin for moderate or high risk patients with AF.

Background Acute heart failure is a major health problem responsible for several million hospitalizations worldwide each year. Standard therapy has not changed since 1970s and includes diuretics and variable use of vasodilators or inotropes. In 2001, nesiritide was approved by the FDA to reduce PCWP and improve dyspnea, based on efficacy at 3 hrs. However, in 2005 two meta-analyses raised concerns regarding the risks of mortality and renal injury. Subsequently, an independent panel* was convened by Scios Inc and recommended that a clinical trial be conducted to definitively answer the question of nesiritide’s safety and efficacy.

Co-Primary objectives To assess whether nesiritide vs placebo, in addition to standard care provides: Reduction in rate of HF rehospitalization or all-cause mortality through Day 30 Significant improvement in self-assessed dyspnea at 6 or 24 hrs using 7-point Likert scale 60 40 20 % Subjects Markedly Better Minimally Worse Moderately Better Moderately Worse Minimally Better Markedly Worse No Change

Dyspnea relief at 6 and 24 hrs All-cause mortality at 180 days Study design and drug procedures Nesiritide Acute HF < 24 hrs from IV RX 24–168 hrs Rx Placebo Co-primary endpoint: Dyspnea relief at 6 and 24 hrs Co-primary endpoint: 30-day death or HF rehosp All-cause mortality at 180 days Double – blind placebo controlled IV bolus (loading dose) of 2 µg/kg nesiritide or placebo Investigator’s discretion for bolus Followed by continuous IV infusion of nesiritide 0.01 µg/kg/min or placebo for up to 7 days Usual care per investigators including diuretics and/or other therapies as needed Duration of treatment per investigator based on clinical improvement

30-day Death/HF Rehospitalization Co-Primary outcome: 30-day all-cause mortality or HF rehospitalization P=0.31 Hazard Ratio 0.93 (95% CI: 0.8,1.08) 9.4 3.6 6.0 12 10.1 4.0 6.1 10 Placebo Nesiritide 8 % 6 4 2 30-day Death/HF Rehospitalization 30-day Death HF Rehospitalization Risk Diff (95 % CI) -0.7 (-2.1; 0.7) -0.4 (-1.3; 0.5) -0.1 (-1.2; 1.0)

Conclusions Nesiritide did not reduce the rate of recurrent heart failure hospitalization or death at 30 days. Nesiritide reduced dyspnea to a modest degree, consistent with previous findings but did not meet pre-specified protocol criteria for statistical significance at 6 and 24 hours. Nesiritide did not affect 30-day all cause mortality nor did it worsen renal function as had been suggested by prior meta-analyses of smaller studies.

GRAVITAS: Summary Compared with standard-dose therapy, high-dose clopidogrel achieved a modest pharmacodynamic effect in patients with high residual reactivity. In patients with high residual reactivity measured after PCI, 6-months of high-dose clopidogrel did not reduce the rate of cardiovascular death, non- fatal MI, or stent thrombosis and did not increase GUSTO severe or moderate bleeding.

Conclusions These data, coupled with the lack of efficacy seen in other STEMI trials involving EPO (REVIVAL-31, HEBE III2), do not support the hypothesis that EPO favorably impacts outcome after reperfusion for STEMI Whether earlier administration or alternate dosing provides a cardioprotective effect of EPO in humans remains to be determined 1Ott I, et. al.

Background: CETP inhibition Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) is a plasma protein that catalyzes the transfer of CE from HDL to apoB-containing lipoproteins (VLDL and LDL-C) in exchange for Trig. LDL / VLDL LDL-R CE SR-B1 Liver X inhibition CETP FC Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) is a plasma protein that catalyzes the transfer of CE from HDL to apoB-containing lipoproteins (VLDL and LDL-C)in exchange for triglycerides that are transferred in the reverse direction. CETP inhibitors increase HDL-C and some also lower LDL-C, and therefore have the potential to reduce coronary events. HDL picks up free cholesterol (FC) from extrahepatic tissues. HDL FC is subsequently esterified by LCAT to form cholesteryl esters (CE) The HDL CE may then be delivered to the liver by either of two pathways: 1. A direct pathway following binding of HDL to hepatic SR-B1 2. An indirect pathway involving the CETP-mediated transfer of CE from HDL to VLDL and LDL with subsequent delivery to the liver following binding of LDL to the LDL receptor." After click: Inhibition of CETP prevents the transfer of CE from HDL to the VLDL/LDL fractions and results in an increase in concentration of HDL-C and a decrease in the cholesterol content of the VLDL/LDL. CE HDL LCAT Bile Free Cholesterol (FC) in Extrahepatic tissues FC 45

Anacetrapib Orally active, potent, selective CETP inhibitor Robust lipid efficacy in Phase I-II studies No effects on blood pressure, electrolytes, and aldosterone in preclinical and Phase I-II clinical studies In vitro HDL functional assays: HDL particles isolated from anacetrapib-treated patients demonstrate preserved (and possibly enhanced) cholesterol efflux properties Dose of 100 mg selected based on PK/PD modeling: minimal dose to achieve maximal effects on HDL and LDL

Anacetrapib treatment had robust effects on HDL-C, LDL-C, non HDL-C and Lp(a) with sustained effects over 18 months. Anacetrapib had an acceptable side-effect profile with no effects on blood pressure, electrolytes or aldosterone. Within the power of the study, anacetrapib did not exhibit adverse cardiovascular effects seen with a prior CETP inhibitor The long term safety and efficacy of anacetrapib will now be tested in a large clinical outcomes trial.
