REPLACE-2 vs. ACUITY PCI REPLACE-2 (PCI) ACUITY PCI p = 0.40 * R2 major bleeding definition applied to both

Study Limitations Even though the baseline characteristics of the 3 groups were well matched, the ACUITY PCI sub-study is not technically a randomized trial The ACUITY PCI sub-study was under-powered for non-inferiority testing and subgroups All analyses should be considered hypothesis generating Given the complexity of the trial, the study design was open label, and as such bias cannot be excluded The rate of provisional IIb/IIIa inhibitor use for ischemic complications was almost identical to that in the blinded REPLACE-2 trial Use of blinded CECs and core labs reduces but does not eliminate the potential for bias

Conclusions and Clinical Implications In patients with moderate and high risk ACS undergoing PCI Replacing upstream heparin with bivalirudin in pts treated with GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors provides similar clinical and angiographic outcomes Replacing heparin and GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors with bivalirudin alone (with provisional IIb/IIIa inhibitor use in <10% of pts) results in similar rates of ischemia with markedly reduced hemorrhagic complications, thereby improving overall event-free survival
