Cost-Consequence Analysis of Using Cangrelor in High Angiographic Risk Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Patients: A US Hospital Perspective.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The objective of this study was to evaluate a US hospital's cost implications and outcomes of cangrelor use in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) patients with two or more angiographic high-risk features (HRFs), including avoidance of oral P2Y₁₂ inhibitor pretreatment in patients requiring cardiac surgery. Intravenous cangrelor provides direct, immediate onset and rapid-offset P2Y₁₂ inhibition, which may reduce the necessity for oral P2Y₁₂ pretreatment.

Methods

A decision analytic model was developed, estimating the annual impact over 3 years of cangrelor availability. Ischemic and bleeding events (48 h) from randomized clinical trial data were extrapolated to 30 days. Event costs were from the CHAMPION PHOENIX Economics substudy. Rates of coronary artery disease (CAD) presentation, PCI, oral P2Y₁₂ pretreatment, and inpatient hospitalization costs were from published literature and clinical experts. Scenario analyses evaluated the impact of cangrelor availability on potential reduced P2Y₁₂ pretreatment rates by 50-100%. Drug costs were 2019 wholesale acquisition costs and, where necessary, all costs were adjusted to 2019 dollars.

Results

In a hospital treating 1000 CAD PCI inpatients annually, increasing cangrelor use from 11 to 32% resulted in a reduction in 48-h ischemic events/year by 5.7%, while bleeding events increased by 2.9%. Total costs of $1,135,472 declined 12.8%, with a 50% reduction in P2Y₁₂ pretreatment or 30% with no pretreatment. Savings were driven by a decrease in ischemic events, decrease in glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor use, and less need for and shorter oral P2Y₁₂ inhibitor washout period for surgery patients.

Conclusion

Use of cangrelor in patients with two or more angiographic HRFs may improve outcomes and lower hospital budgets, mainly from avoiding surgery delays necessitated by oral P2Y₁₂ inhibitor pretreatment.

Project description:Objective:We aim to evaluate the long-term prognosis of non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) patients with high-risk coronary anatomy (HRCA). Background:Coronary disease severity is important for therapeutic decision-making and prognostication among patients presenting with NSTE-ACS. However, long-term outcome in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with HRCA is still unknown. Method:NSTE-ACS patients undergoing PCI in Fuwai Hospital in 2013 were prospectively enrolled and subsequently divided into HRCA and low-risk coronary anatomy (LRCA) groups according to whether angiography complies with the HRCA definition. HRCA was defined as left main disease >50%, proximal LAD lesion >70%, or 2- to 3- vessel disease involving the LAD. Prognosis impact on 2-year and 5-year major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) is analyzed. Results:Out of 4,984 enrolled patients with NSTE-ACS, 3,752 patients belonged to the HRCA group, while 1,232 patients belonged to the LRCA group. Compared with the LRCA group, patients in the HRCA group had worse baseline characteristics including higher age, more comorbidities, and worse angiographic findings. Patients in the HRCA group had higher incidence of unplanned revascularization (2 years: 9.7% vs. 5.1%, p < 0.001; 5 years: 15.4% vs. 10.3%, p < 0.001), 2-year MACCE (13.1% vs. 8.8%, p < 0.001), and 5-year death/MI/revascularization/stroke (23.0% vs. 18.4%, p = 0.001). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed similar results. After adjusting for confounding factors, HRCA is independently associated with higher risk of revascularization (2 years: HR?=?1.636, 95% CI: 1.225-2.186; 5 years: HR?=?1.460, 95% CI: 1.186-1.798), 2-year MACCE (HR?=?1.275, 95% CI?=?1.019-1.596) and 5-year death/MI/revascularization/stroke (HR?=?1.183, 95% CI: 1.010-1.385). Conclusion:In our large cohort of Chinese patients, HRCA is an independent risk factor for long-term unplanned revascularization and MACCE.

Project description:Abstract Aims Cangrelor is the only intravenous P2Y12 inhibitor available. Safety, efficacy, and transitioning from cangrelor to oral P2Y12 inhibitors were recorded in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The ARCANGELO study aims to assess the safety of cangrelor on bleeding and the effects of the transition to oral P2Y12 inhibitors in a real-world setting according to the European Medical Agency’s requirement. Methods and results Adult patients with ACS undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) receiving cangrelor were included in the study. Patients were followed for 30 days. Incidence of bleeding events, major adverse cardiac events, and transition strategy to oral P2Y12 were recorded. Among 1004 ACS patients undergoing PCI, 995 (99.1%) were eligible for the analysis; 597 (60.0%) of them had ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. A total of 925 (93.1%) patients underwent PCI by radial catheter access, and 972 (97.2%) received drug-eluting stents. All eligible patients received bolus and cangrelor infusion between 2 and 4 h in 95% of the cases. A total of 730 patients (73.4%) received ticagrelor, 127 (12.8%) prasugrel, and 138 (13.9%) clopidogrel as transition therapy. Bleeding, according to Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) criteria, within 30 days post-PCI occurred in 5.2% of patients (95% confidence interval: 3.9–6.8%); 0.5% experienced a moderate (BARC 3), and all others mild (BARC 1–2) bleeding events. Major adverse cardiac events occurred in 14 (1.4%) patients, principally all-cause mortality (n = 6 patients) and myocardial infarction (n = 7 patients). Conclusion The use of cangrelor in ACS patients undergoing PCI and the transition strategy to P2Y12 inhibitors are confirmed as safe and effective in daily practice.

Project description:BackgroundThrombotic events are reduced with cangrelor, an intravenous P2Y12 inhibitor. We sought to characterize the timing, number, and type of early events (within 2 hours of randomization) in CHAMPION PHOENIX (A Clinical Trial Comparing Cangrelor to Clopidogrel Standard of Care Therapy in Subjects Who Require Percutaneous Coronary Intervention).MethodsCHAMPION PHOENIX was a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that randomized patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention to cangrelor or clopidogrel. For this analysis, we evaluated the efficacy of cangrelor in the first 2 hours postrandomization with regards to the primary end point (death, myocardial infarction, ischemia-driven revascularization, or stent thrombosis). Sensitivity analyses were performed evaluating a secondary, post hoc end point (death, Society of Coronary Angiography and Intervention myocardial infarction, ischemia-driven revascularization, or Academic Research Consortium definite stent thrombosis).ResultsThe majority of events (63%) that occurred in the trial occurred within 2 hours of randomization. The most common early event was myocardial infarction; next were stent thrombosis, ischemia driven revascularization, and death. In the first 2 hours after randomization, cangrelor significantly decreased the primary composite end point compared with clopidogrel (4.1% versus 5.4%; hazard ratio, 0.76 [95% CI, 0.64-0.90], P=0.002). Similar findings were seen for the composite end point of death, Society of Coronary Angiography and Intervention myocardial infarction, ischemia-driven revascularization, or Academic Research Consortium stent thrombosis at 2 hours (0.9% versus 1.6%; hazard ratio, 0.57 [95% CI, 0.40-0.80], P=0.001). Between 2 and 48 hours, there was no difference in the primary composite end point (0.6% versus 0.5%; odds ratio, 1.17 [95% CI, 0.71-1.93]; P=0.53). Early (≤2 hours of randomization) GUSTO (Global Use of Strategies to Open Occluded Coronary Arteries) moderate or severe bleeding events were infrequent, and there was no significant difference with cangrelor compared with clopidogrel (0.2% [n=10] versus 0.1% [n=4]; adjusted odds ratio, 1.41 [95% CI, 0.37-5.40]; P=0.62).ConclusionsThe reductions in ischemic events and overall efficacy seen with cangrelor in CHAMPION PHOENIX occurred early and during the period of time in which patients were being actively treated with cangrelor. These findings provide evidence that supports the importance of potent platelet inhibition during percutaneous coronary intervention.
