    Abstract

    Objective To compare ticagrelor and prasugrel with clopidogrel for recurrent fatal and non-fatal myocardial infarction (reMI) in real-life conditions.

    Methods Case-referent study using the Pharmacoepidemiological General Research eXtension (PGRx)-acute coronary syndrome (ACS) registry. Cases were patients with reMI from a cohort with index ACS or external to the cohort (same sites). Referents from the cohort, without recurrent event, were matched on index ACS type and date, age and sex with reMI cases. Multivariate conditional logistic regression assessed the OR (95% CI) for reMI associated with ticagrelor and prasugrel vs clopidogrel, adjusted for aspirin use and cardiovascular risk factors.

    Results 1047 cases and 2234 matched referents were included. Compared with clopidogrel, ticagrelor and prasugrel were associated with respective ORs of 0.65 (95% CI 0.52 to 0.81) and 0.71 (95% CI 0.53 to 0.96) for reMI occurrence. ORs for ticagrelor and prasugrel vs clopidogrel were: 0.50 (95% CI 0.38 to 0.67) and 0.66 (95% CI 0.45 to 0.95), 0.39 (95% CI 0.24 to 0.62) and 0.44 (95% CI 0.26 to 0.75), 0.63 (95% CI 0.43 to 0.92) and 1.20 (95% CI 0.69 to 2.07), 1.11 (95% CI 0.72 to 1.72) and 0.82 (95% CI 0.44 to 1.54) when index ACS was a first MI, a first ST-elevated MI (STEMI), a first non-STEMI and a recurrent ACS, respectively, and 0.63 (95% CI 0.45 to 0.87) and 0.77 (95% CI 0.41 to 1.45) for patients aged ≥70  years.

    Conclusions This real-world study showed a significant reduction of reMI with new antiplatelets compared with clopidogrel, ticagrelor being associated with a greater decrease of risk notably for first, either STEMI or non-STEMI. The larger magnitude of effect may be attributed to potential residual confounding or higher effectiveness compared with efficacy reported in trials (EMA Post Authorisation Study Registry Number EUPAS5905).

    Introduction

    A key component in the management of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), antiplatelet therapy is effective in reducing the risk of acute ischaemic events.1 2 Platelet activation and aggregation is inhibited by cyclooxygenase inhibitors (aspirin), glycoprotein IIb/IIIa antagonists and P2Y12 antagonists (clopidogrel, prasugrel and ticagrelor), the latter two classes administered with aspirin.3–5 Recently, a number of studies concluded that, while carrying increased bleeding risk,6–8 ticagrelor and prasugrel are superior to clopidogrel in reducing major cardiovascular events. However, their effect under real-life conditions remains underexplored. Following a request by the French health authorities, this study aimed to determine if using ticagrelor or prasugrel after an ACS (unstable angina (UA), myocardial infarction (MI)) was associated with a lower risk of recurrent MI (reMI: new non-fatal MI or cardiac death) compared with clopidogrel use in real-life conditions.

    Methods

    The Antiplatelet agents and Recurrent Myocardial Infarction Study (AReMIS) case-referent study used the Pharmacoepidemiological General Research eXtension (PGRx) registry of ACS assembled by French cardiologists since 2007 as described elsewhere.9–12 The study period was 1 June 2013 (to allow 1 year after the marketing date for ticagrelor, the last antiplatelet agent (APA) licensed in France) to recruitment completion in 12 March 2016.

    Study population

    Composed of (i) a cohort of patients with an index ACS and (ii) reMI case-patients from the cohort or recruited externally to the cohort but in the same cardiology sites. Cohort patients not experiencing a reMI were defined as referents. Using this latter cohort, referents were selected for each case by individual matching.

    To avoid selection bias, patients were consecutively recruited after prospective/retrospective identification by centres blind to the study objectives.

    Cases and referents met similar eligibility criteria: (1) gender; (2) aged ≥18 years; (3) living in France; (4) index ACS during the study period, regardless of its rank (n=1, 2,…, n).

    Case definition and ascertainment

    Cases were patients with a reMI occurring after the index ACS, defined according to the ESC Committee for Practice Guidelines as13: (1) new spontaneous MI; (2) cardiac death due to MI lacking biomarkers; (3) stent thrombosis; (4) cardiac-related death or (5) UA with myocardial revascularisation (percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with/without stent or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)) and intensive care unit hospitalisation. When concerns of uncertainty were raised for cases as to their eligibility, an expert cardiologist (NDa) blinded to the exposure status was requested to independently review the cases.

    Referents and matching

    Referents were patients meeting the eligibility criteria above, but with no reMI at the time of matching. An average of two referents were matched to each case by: (1) date of index ACS (range: delay (±10%) between index ACS of case and corresponding reMI); (2) age ±1 year, and if unfeasible, year by year up until ±5 years, both within each of the strata aged ≤69 and ≥70 years separately; (3) sex; (4) type of index ACS (according to four types of index ACS: first UA, first ST-elevated MI (STEMI), first non-STEMI (NSTEMI), ACS with previous history of ACS prior to index ACS) and (5) type of exposure data source. Referents who became cases at a later date were retained as cases in the analysis (n=99), some of which were still used as matched referents over the period preceding the recurrence (n=49, out of 99).14 15 Referents were used as matched referents for one single case in order to avoid bias on relative risk estimates.16

    Sample size estimation

    The target sample size was established at 1250 cases and 2500 referents in order to obtain at least 80% power to detect significant ORs below 0.9 (main analysis) based on the assumptions that 1) one-third of the referents would be prescribed ticagrelor, one-third prasugrel or no-P2Y12 antagonist treatment and one-third clopidogrel and 2) no effect modification or influence on reMI risk by other P2Y12 antagonist use would occur, so that two-thirds of the sample size would be available for the comparison of each new P2Y12 antagonist versus clopidogrel. Expected 95% CI estimates were (0.677 to 0.945) (0.268 width), and (0.762 to 1.063) (0.310 width) for ORs of 0.8 and 0.9, respectively.

    Time windows for defining APA exposure

    The exposure of principal interest was defined as APA use within 30 days of the index ACS between cases and matched referents. The information on exposure was obtained from one of the following three sources (percentages below are mutually exclusive) as per the corresponding matching criterion:

    1. Hospital treatment reports for drugs prescribed following the index ACS (86.8%);

    2. Prescriptions issued by the patient’s treating physician or dispensation by her/his regular pharmacist (11.9%);

    3. Patient interviews (1.3%).

    A sensitivity analysis addressed drugs used immediately before the reMI among APA users. A patient was defined as exposed if he/she was prescribed an APA at least once within the 30 days’ time window prior to the reMI.

    Potential confounders

    Confounding by indication is based on the fact that APAs are prescribed differentially, according to health status and prognosis. To take it into account, the following wide range of measures was taken:

    • a stringent matching on age, type of index ACS, index date and exposure source;

    • and adjustment on factors defined a priori, including aspirin use, age, anticoagulant exposure, ACS preceding index ACS (number), hypertension (confirmed/use of antihypertensive drugs), diabetes (confirmed/antidiabetics intake), hyperlipidaemia (confirmed/lipid-lowering drugs intake), body mass index (BMI) and severe comorbidities (Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, spondylitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, viral hepatitis, schizophrenia, psychotic disorder, bipolar affective disorder, drug abuse (opiate dependency and addictions), multiple sclerosis, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, cirrhosis, renal failure and cancers).

    Statistical analyses

    Analyses relied on conditional logistic regression using case/matched referent status as the dependent variable. The principal exposure variable included the following mutually exclusive categories: clopidogrel, ticagrelor, prasugrel and no-P2Y12 antagonists users within 30 days of index ACS, corresponding to intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis. Ticlopidine (n=2) was grouped with clopidogrel.

    Analysis of recent exposure was performed among antiplatelet users only, according to the following mutually exclusive categories: clopidogrel, ticagrelor, prasugrel and switchers, prescribed within 30 days prior reMI diagnosis.

    A post hoc analysis examined the association between the risk of reMI and, ticagrelor and prasugrel compared with clopidogrel, each maintained between index ACS and reMI or matching date.

    Crude and adjusted matched ORs, with 95% CIs were calculated for ticagrelor, prasugrel and no-P2Y12 antagonists use as individually compared with clopidogrel.

    Ethics statement

    The PGRx registries comply with principles set out by the Declaration of Helsinki, local regulatory requirements and the International Conference on Harmonisation–Good Pharmacoepidemiology Practice guidelines. Informed consent was obtained from all patients interviewed to establish risk factors and drug use between index ACS and reMI for cases or the matching date for referents. Confidentiality and anonymity of all patients recruited via PGRx registries have been maintained. Only physicians were compensated for inviting and recruiting patients.

    Data collection and quality control

    Data collected at inclusion included patient characteristics, cardiac and vascular medical history, comorbidities, symptoms, ECG results, type/date of index ACS and all drugs prescribed at index ACS discharge. Additionally, for reMI cases were collected symptoms, ECG, cardiac enzymes tests, type/date of reMI, vital status, date and cause of death and all treatments taken by the patient prior to reMI.

    Data were collected using electronic case report forms (eCRF). Scientific oversight, conduct of operations and data management were the sponsor’s responsibility (PGRx). Quality control was part of systematic screening procedures for retrospective cases identification and data collection and concerned two-third of cases used in the study (the rest being prospectively included), for whom eCRFs were monitored against source documentation. This process implied anonymous data collection unless patient consent was obtained. Eligible patients were systematically posted information about the study and asked if they would: a) consent to participate, accepting to undergo the interview; b) not consent to participate but not objecting to the use of anonymous data for the study; c) fully object to the collection of medical data. Prospective patients’ recruitment was randomly audited during the recruitment period to ensure exhaustive inclusion of patients. The database includes an electronic audit trail for all data modifications, and critical variables were subjected to additional audits. Data for this study were extracted from the PGRx database on 11 May 2016.

    Results

    Overall, 275 cardiology centres and 26 general practices recruited a total of 1425 patients identified as reMI, of whom 1243 were found to be fully eligible as they met the definition of cases (figure 1). Of 3864 patients identified as potential referents, 3122 were fully eligible (figure 2).

    The 3122 referents were characterised by APA use at the time of the index ACS in order to identify potential sources of confounding, especially by indication (table 1). Patients using clopidogrel were older (70.7 years, SD 12.5) than those taking ticagrelor or prasugrel (61.5, SD 12.3 and 57.8, SD 10.4), and more often females (33.3% vs 22.9% and 14.9%). Clear differences were also observed for the type of index ACS across the four categories of exposure, with clopidogrel users presenting more often with UA (13.8%) or ACS antecedents (21.7%) than ticagrelor (5.1% and 10.1%, respectively) or prasugrel users (4.4% and 9.7%, respectively), the latter two including more patients with first MI (respectively 84.8% and 86.0% vs 64.5% for clopidogrel). Clopidogrel users had also more often diabetes as well as CV and severe comorbidities. They were less often aspirin users and more often anticoagulant users. Some of these differences were expected as prasugrel is indicated in patients younger than 75 years subjected to PCI. No-P2Y12 antagonist users were more exposed to anticoagulant drugs than ticagrelor and prasugrel users but less exposed compared with clopidogrel users. Moreover, no-P2Y12 antagonist users underwent CABG in a much higher proportion than users (15.4% for no-P2Y12 antagonists users compared with 3.3%, 1.0% and 0.2% for clopidogrel, ticagrelor and prasugrel, respectively).

    Table 2 provides a description of cases and matched referents. Cases were predominantly males (71%) with a mean age of 70.6 years. Just over half the cases were experiencing recurrence after a first MI and 32% had more than one previous ACS. Nearly all patients (>94%) had hypertension and hyperlipidaemia.

    Table 2

    CV risk factors in cases of reMI and their matched referents (total population)

    On implementing the extended and stringent matching criteria, 1047 cases were fully matched to 2234 matched referents (table 2).

    Adjusting for potential confounders and risk factors reduced the risk of reMI by 35% among patients exposed to ticagrelor within 30 days of their index ACS, compared with those exposed to clopidogrel (OR 0.65; 95% CI 0.52 to 0.81; table 3). For patients exposed to prasugrel, the associated risk reduction was 29% (OR 0.71; 95% CI 0.53 to 0.96). Patients not prescribed a P2Y12 antagonist at discharge had a risk of recurrence identical to the reference group (table 3).

    Table 3

    Association between reMI (non-fatal MI and cardiac deaths) and ITT exposure to APAs—cases and fully matched referents to type of index ACS

    Applying less stringent matching on the type of index ACS (UA or MI, irrespective of ST-elevation or number of previous ACS) to increase the sample size, yielded superimposable results: significant risk reductions of 33% and 27% for ticagrelor and prasugrel, respectively, indicating that the model controls potential confounding induced by a partial matching on type of index ACS.

    Stratified analyses

    As the most critical confounder, stratification by age was performed below and above 69 years. The OR estimates for ticagrelor remained essentially unchanged (OR 0.63; 95% CI 0.45 to 0.87 for ≥70 years and OR 0.71; 95% CI 0.51 to 0.99 for their younger counterparts) (table 4). The risk reductions for prasugrel were not significant for either age-group.

    Table 4

    Association between reMI and ITT exposure to APAs, stratified by age; cases and fully matched referents on type of index ACS

    In view of the different distributions of the four categories of exposure according to types of index ACS (table 1), a likelihood ratio test to assess interaction between index ACS and category of APA exposure found this one to be significant (P<0.001). As a result, the analysis was matched in a stringent way.

    OR estimates obtained among all patients (main model) showed a risk reduction in ticagrelor and prasugrel users compared with the reference group (figure 3), held only for patients with a first MI (including those with a first STEMI) as their index ACS. Among the latter, risk reduction for ticagrelor (OR 0.39; 95% CI 0.24 to 0.62) and prasugrel (OR 0.44; 95% CI 0.26 to 0.75) was highest among patients with a first STEMI; the risk reduction was less pronounced for those exposed to ticagrelor (OR 0.63; 95% CI 0.43 to 0.92) with no significant risk difference shown for prasugrel. Risk reduction for patients with a first UA as their index ACS taking ticagrelor was less than that of those taking prasugrel, but neither was significant (OR 0.80; 95% CI 0.41 to 1.59 vs OR 0.51; 95% CI 0.15 to 1.74).

    Sensitivity analysis

    A series of sensitivity analyses were performed using the main model to explore the robustness and stability of the results. Varying the time window of exposure to APAs, comparing the effect of maintaining the same medicine over time, restricting the analysis to patients exposed to both an antihypertensive and a lipid-lowering drug between the index ACS and the reMI date, excluding patients treated with anticoagulants, returned consistent results to those obtained in the principal ITT analysis (table 5).

    Discussion

    This large case-referent study addresses the real-life impact of new APAs in cardiology settings. It revealed a highly significant protective effect of ITT use of new APAs, more pronounced with ticagrelor after an ACS on the recurrence of non-fatal MI and cardiac death as compared with clopidogrel.

    Findings are in line with those reported in controlled trials, which were not affected by confounding by indication. Therefore, the observation that new APAs, and notably ticagrelor, protect against reMI is highly plausible. Results in no-P2Y12 antagonist users appear to reflect those in clopidogrel users. A possible explanation is the proportion of no-P2Y12 antagonist users undergoing CABG surgery as their index ACS treatment compared with clopidogrel users (almost fivefold more).

    The discussion lies on the magnitude of the effect observed for ticagrelor and prasugrel, which appears even larger in real-life use than that achieved in the trials the Study of Platelet Inhibition and Patient Outcomes  (PLATO) and the Trial to Assess Improvement in Therapeutic Outcomes by Optimizing Platelet Inhibition with Prasugrel–Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction  (TRITON–TIMI 38).14 15 Potential residual confounding may explain the larger effect. However, differences in the populations analysed in both studies may explain also the difference in effect magnitude found. The trials were conducted under strictly controlled conditions. As such, the population in which the drug is ultimately licensed for use and that of the original trial may differ.14 Additionally, as more patients in the ticagrelor arm of PLATO discontinued treatment than in the clopidogrel arm, non-compliance should favour a type II error (failing to detect an effect), which is not the case here; however, this could explain the difference in the effect magnitude (ie, translated into higher effectiveness in real life than the efficacy assessed in trials). Such observations are not infrequent, contrary to common beliefs, when compliance to treatment is good. In a similar study conducted in PGRx, it was demonstrated that adherence to chronic cardiovascular treatment is excellent in France, notably in patients with MI.12 Another explanation to such larger real-life effect may relate to the fact that drugs and regimens are tailored to patients, while in trials these are usually fixed. This is the case of our study, where ticagrelor and prasugrel were mainly prescribed to patients (84.8% and 86%, respectively) with MI for whom the risk-reducing effects appear higher. Indeed, interaction analysis between index ACS categories and different APA use showed to be highly significant. Actually, understanding an ‘indication bias’ for aetiological research may translate into a positive impact from a public health viewpoint, as clinicians prescribe drugs to patients with higher expected benefit.

    Real-world evidence studies have since been conducted. A study using the The Swedish Web-system for Enhancement and Development of Evidence-based care in Heart disease Evaluated According to Recommended Therapies (SWEDEHEART)- Myocardial infarction (MI) (SWEDEHEART-MI)registry on 45 073 patients of whom about one-fourth were discharged on ticagrelor, the balance on clopidogrel, showed a cumulative probability of the combined outcome of death, MI and stroke at 24 months for patients in the ticagrelor cohort was half that of the clopidogrel cohort (11.7% (95% CI 10.6 to 12.8) vs 22.3% (95% CI 21.8 to 22.7)).17 Furthermore, a recent study investigated the effect of prasugrel and ticagrelor on all-cause mortality and stent thrombosis in a large single-centre, all-comers registry to find that both prasugrel and ticagrelor were associated with reduced mortality compared with clopidogrel in patients with STEMI and that ticagrelor also significantly reduced the rate of stent thrombosis which is consistent with our results.18 Our findings are also consistent with studies providing platelet function measurement data, most of these concluding that, compared with prasugrel, ticagrelor was associated with significantly greater P2Y12 inhibition with both achieving a significantly greater inhibition than clopidogrel during maintenance therapy.19 20

    Study limitations

    Significant differences in the distributions of individual P2Y12 antagonist usage were observed for age, type of index ACS, history of ACS events and aspirin use, which may represent significant confounding factors. Controlling for these factors through stringent matching and modelling may not have entirely controlled for residual confounding due to unmeasured unknown variables associated with more ‘subjective’ factors explaining physicians’ choice of prescription.

    Study strengths

    Besides the robust results, this study is unique in that it derives from the systematic identification and recruitment of cases and its case-referent design for the selection of matched referents, outside of any study hypothesis, thus minimising any potential selection bias. Furthermore, it relied on in-depth clinical and drug utilisation descriptions, objective sources of exposure information and stringent matching of referents to cases with a high level of comparability of case-referents series.

    The study was conducted in more than 300 clinical centres, of which at least 90% were cardiology centres and 9% general practices, distributed across France and representative of different settings (university/general hospitals, private clinics, and ambulatory practices). The observed proportions of use of the different APAs closely reflect the sales of these products in France (data not shown).

    Conclusion

    In this real-world case-referent study using clinical data, ticagrelor and prasugrel were associated with a significant relative-risk reduction of reMI compared with clopidogrel, ticagrelor being associated with a greater decrease of risk than prasugrel notably for first MI, regardless of being STEMI or non-STEMI. This finding is consistent with clinical trials. The larger magnitude of the observed effect compared with clinical trials, may be attributed to potential residual confounding and/or higher effectiveness compared with reported trial efficacy (EUPAS5905).

    Key questions

    What is already known about this subject?

    • Evidence from clinical trials has shown new antiplatelet agents (APAs), ticagrelor and prasugrel, to be superior to clopidogrel in preventing major cardiovascular events; however, real-life use and effect of APAs is lacking.

    What does this study add?

    • This first comparative effectiveness study using clinical data shows that, in real-life, the risk of recurrent myocardial infarction (MI) (non-fatal MI and cardiac death) is significantly lower in patients taking ticagrelor or prasugrel than in those taking clopidogrel, the magnitude of which was larger than the observed effect reported in clinical trials: 0.65 (95% CI 0.52 to 0.81) and 0.71 (95% CI 0.53 to 0.96) for ticagrelor and prasugrel vs 0.84 (95% CI 0.77 to 0.92) and 0.81 (95% CI 0.73 to 0.90), respectively, from corresponding pivotal trials.

    How might this impact on clinical practice?

    • New-generation APAs should be considered when initiating or prescribing an APA in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Wide adoption of prasugrel and ticagrelor for ACS has the potential to decrease ischaemic events, including spontaneous MI.
