2. STEEPLE trial Primary objective To demonstrate the superior safety profile of IV enoxaparin (0.5mg/kg and 0.75mg/kg) compared with IV UFH, up to 48 hours after elective PCI

UFH Primary objective: non-CABG bleeding at 48 hours 70–100 IU/kg 50–70 IU/kg ACT i.v. enoxaparin 0.75 mg/kg0.50 mg/kg Stratifiedwith GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor use N = 3,528 PCI ACT = activated clotting time; CABG = coronary artery bypass graft; GP = glycoprotein; UFH = unfractionated heparin.

6. STEEPLE 1-year follow-up The aim of the STEEPLE 1-year follow-up is to evaluate the long-term outcome of patients treated with enoxaparin and UFH Primary analysis: all cause mortality up to 1 year Secondary analyses: –Composite of all-cause mortality up to 1 year and non-CABG major bleeding up to 48h –Composite of all-cause mortality up to 1 year, non- fatal MI/UTVR up to 30 days and non-CABG major bleeding up to 48h –Predictors of 1-year mortality

7. Statistical analysis All-cause mortality up to 1 year after index PCI calculated using Cox proportional hazard model Univariate and multivariate analyses performed to identify risk factors associated with 1-year all-cause mortality Risk factors investigated included –Ischemic events (MI / UTVR) –Major bleeding –Baseline patient characteristics

13. Conclusions 1.STEEPLE showed superior safety of enoxaparin 0.5 mg/kg over UFH in elective PCI 2.1-year mortality rates were low and similar in patients receiving enoxaparin or UFH during elective PCI 3.Incidence of ischemic events up to 30 days after PCI is the strongest independent predictor of 1-year mortality 4.Other independent predictors of 1-year mortality include major bleeding up to 48h post-PCI and high-risk patient characteristics 5.Enoxaparin was associated with significantly lower incidence of early major bleeding and 1-year mortality
