Limitations Potential benefit of cangrelor might be attenuated with prolonged clopidogrel, prasugrel, or ticagrelor pretreatment Bleeding endpoints were not adjudicated Treatment by access site was not randomized CHAMPION PHOENIX was not powered to test the interaction between treatment and PCI access site
Conclusions Intravenous ADP receptor blockade with cangrelor – Reduces composite of death, MI, IDR, or stent thrombosis at 48 hours – Regardless of PCI access site Femoral: 21% odds reduction Radial: 24% odds reduction
Conclusions Cangrelor compared with clopidogrel – No significant increase at 48 hours GUSTO or TIMI defined bleeding Blood transfusions Regardless of access site – ACUITY bleeding (more sensitive) Increased rates of bleeding – Regardless of access site
Conclusions Radial vs. Femoral – Radial approach for PCI 30 to 66% reduction in bleeding – Depending on bleeding definition Improved bleeding profile was not associated with reduction in primary efficacy endpoint at 48 hours
Conclusions CHAMPION PHOENIX – Cangrelor Intravenous ADP receptor inhibition Reduces ischemic events No significant increase in GUSTO severe bleeding or blood transfusion – Radial artery access for PCI Reduces bleeding complications
