Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: • Signed written informed consent. • Men or women at least 18 years old (in Taiwan, at least 20 years old). Women must be post-menopausal or using a highly effective method for avoidance of pregnancy. • Hospitalization for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) within 30 days prior to study entry. • Clinically stable for 24 hours prior to study entry. • A planned percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) should be performed prior to study entry, whenever possible. • At least one of the following: • At least 60 years old. • Myocardial infarction prior to the qualifying ACS event. • Diabetes mellitus requiring treatment with medication. • Diagnosed mild or moderate reduction in kidney function. • Cerebrovascular disease (carotid artery disease or ischemic stroke more than 3 months prior to study entry) OR peripheral artery disease.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: • ACS symptoms or lab results not believed to be caused by a narrowing or blocked coronary artery. • No major coronary artery with a blockage of more than 50% (unless all stenoses are successfully treated by PCI). • Planned coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, or CABG surgery performed after the qualifying ACS event and prior to study entry. • Certain types of liver disease. • Severe reduction in kidney function OR removal of a kidney OR kidney transplant. • Severe heart failure. • Blood pressure higher than normal despite lifestyle changes and treatment with medications. • Any life-threatening disease with a life expectancy of less than 2 years (other than heart disease) that may prevent the subject from completing the study. • Severe asthma that is poorly controlled with medication. • Pregnancy (Note: A pregnancy test will be performed on all non-sterile women prior to study entry). • Previous severe allergic reaction to food, medications, drink, insect stings, etc. • Drug or alcohol abuse within the past 6 months. Mental/psychological impairment that may prevent the subject from complying with study procedures or understanding the goal and potential risks of participating in the study. • Certain medications that may interfere with the study medication (these will be identified by the study doctor). • If both birth parents are at least 50% Japanese, Chinese, or Korean ancestry, must have a blood sample collected for Lp-PLA2 activity. Those with Lp-PLA2 activity less than or equal to 20.0 nmol/min/mL are excluded. • Previously took darapladib (SB-480848). • Participation in a study of an investigational medication within the past 30 days. • Current participation in a study of an investigational device. • Any other reason the investigator deems the subject should not participate in the study.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Outcome name:Coronary heart disease (CHD) death=occurrence of a fatal myocardial infarction (MI), death caused by documented cardiac arrest, death resulting from heart failure in a participant with known CHD, death from other forms of acute/chronic CHD, unwitnessed death of unknown origin, or sudden death. Acute MI=evidence of myocardial necrosis in a clinical setting consistent with myocardial ischemia. Prior MI diagnosed post-randomization (e.g., silent MI)=the development of new pathological Q waves with/without symptoms OR imaging evidence of a region of loss of viable myocardium that is thinned and fails to contract, in the absence of a nonischemic cause (pre-event imaging data required for verification of new abnormality), OR pathological findings of a healed/healing MI. Urgent coronary revascularization (CR) for MI=ischemic discomfort at rest that prompted CR during the same hospitalization or resulted in hospital transfer for the purpose of CR. Measure:Number of Participants With First Occurrence of Any Event in the Composite of Major Coronary Events During the Time Period for Follow-up (FU) of Cardiovascular (CV) Event Timepoints:From randomization until the End-of-Treatment visit or the last date on which endpoints were able to be assessed (up to 3.80 years) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Outcome name:CV death=death due to a CV cause, which included but was not limited to deaths resulting from stroke, arrhythmia, sudden death (witnessed/unwitnessed), MI, heart failure, pulmonary embolism, peripheral arterial disease, or complications of a CV procedure. Deaths not clearly attributable to non-CV causes are considered to be CV deaths. Acute MI=evidence of myocardial necrosis in a clinical setting consistent with myocardial ischemia. Prior MI diagnosed post-randomization (e.g., silent MI)=the development of new pathological Q waves with/without symptoms OR imaging evidence of a region of loss of viable myocardium that is thinned and fails to contract, in the absence of a non-ischemic cause (pre-event imaging data required for verification of new abnormality), OR pathological findings of a healed/healing MI. Stroke=presence of a new focal neurologic deficit thought to be of vascular origin, with signs/symptoms lasting >24 hours or results in death (in 24 hours or results in death (in 24 hours or results in death (in <24 hours). Measure:Number of Participants With First Occurrence of Any Component of the Composite of All-cause Mortality, Non-fatal MI, or Nonfatal Stroke During the Time Period for Follow-up of Cardiovascular Events Timepoints:From randomization until the End-of-Treatment visit or the last date on which endpoints were able to be assessed (up to 3.80 years) ; Outcome name:Acute MI is defined as evidence of myocardial necrosis in a clinical setting consistent with myocardial ischemia. Prior MI diagnosed post-randomization (e.g., silent MI)=the development of new pathological Q waves with/without symptoms OR imaging evidence of a region of loss of viable myocardium that is thinned and fails to contract, in the absence of a non-ischemic cause (pre-event imaging data required for verification of new abnormality), OR pathological findings of a healed/healing MI. CHD death is defined as the occurrence of a fatal MI, death caused by | — |
