EVOLVE Short DAPT Study Design Prospective, N=2000, ~100 global sites Key Inclusion Criteria Patients considered by the treating physician to be at high risk for bleeding history of major bleeding i) ≥ 75 years of age and high bleeding risk iii) iv) stroke, or renal ii) long term anticoagulation therapy insufficiency/failure (excluded LM disease, ostial lesions, >2 lesions, CTO, SVG, ISR, NSTEMI or STEMI) P 2 Y 12 + ASA 0 ASA Only (for patients eligible for discontinuation of P 2 Y 12) 3 m 15 m Co-Primary Endpoints: Death or MI, ARC def/prob ST Secondary Endpoint: major bleeding (GUSTO severe/life-threatening /moderate) Primary and secondary endpoints evaluated between 3 and 15 months Propensity adjusted comparison to historical control patients treated with standard DAPT performed
SYNERGY : Conclusions and Significance § EVOLVE II pivotal non-inferiority trial proved that SYNERGY is noninferior to the Promus Element Plus stent for TLF at 1 year. § Despite clinical and angiographic complexity of study population, stent thrombosis rates were low. Definite ST not observed beyond 24 hrs following SYNERGY § Cummulative OCT experience with SYNERGY demonstrates expedited ( >90% within 3 months) stent healing § Accumulating “real world” clinical experience with SYNERGY suggests exceptional safety (very low ST) § A large scale clinical trial evaluating safety and efficacy of short (3 mos) DAPT in SYNERGY treated patients with increased bleeding risk is underway
