Unmet need & rationale
● Surgery is frequent in patients presenting with an ACS or treated with stents (1-2)
– 10–15% of patients presenting with ACS have to undergo CABG
– 5% to 25% of patients have to undergo non-cardiac surgery
● Oral P2Y12 therapy following ACS and coronary stenting is Guideline-recommended for up to 12 months (3-4)
● Continue or stop P2Y12 therapy? (5-10)
– Continuation puts patients at 35% incidence of bleeding. Bleeding and transfusion ∼are associated with increased risk of mortality
– Preoperative discontinuation of anti-platelet therapy is associated with 20% ∼incidence of ischemic events
● No proven and efficacious alternative solution for bridging to surgery is currently available (11-12)

Study objective / hypothesis
5
● Objective: To evaluate the use of cangrelor, an IV, reversible P2Y12 platelet inhibitor, for bridging
thienopyridine-treated patients to CABG
● Hypothesis: Cangrelor infusion provides a level of platelet inhibition equivalent to that expected to be maintained if oral thienopyridine was not discontinued

Bridge Stage I: Identification of Effective Cangrelor Infusion Dose
CABGCABG
Thru Hospital Discharge
Identify infusion dose that achieves/maintains>60% platelet inhibition in >80% samples.
Cangrelor Step-Up Infusion 0.50 to 2.0 µg/kg/min IV
Cangrelor IV infusion was to be administered to cohorts of 5 patients at a time in a step-wise fashion at pre-determined doses (0.5 g/kg/min, 0.75 g/kg/min, 1.0 g/kg/min and 1.5 g/kg/min) until platelet inhibition measured by VerifyNow™ P2Y12 was > 60% in 80% of daily samples or a dose of 2.0 g/kg/min was reached.
Clopidogrel or prasugrel
Cangrelor infusion of 0.75 g/kg/min met the efficacy endpoint (94.4%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 83.9% – 100%), and was implemented for the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled stage II of the trial

Demonstrate that cangrelor infusion of maintains PRU< 240
Cangrelor/Placebo Infusion Dose Determined in Stage I :
0.75 µg/kg/min
• Patients with an ACS or treated with a coronary stent (BMS or DES) on a thienopyridine (ticlopidine, clopidogrel or prasugrel) awaiting CABG.
• After thienopyridine discontinuation (<72 hours), patients were administered cangrelor/placebo for at least 48 hours and up to 7 days, which was discontinued 1-6 hours prior to CABG.
• Objective: demonstrate that cangrelor would maintain levels of platelet reactivity <240 P2Y12 Reaction Units (PRU) throughout the pre-operative period as measured by the VerifyNow™ P2Y12 test.

Summary results
● When used as a bridging strategy to CABG after thienopyridine discontinuation, cangrelor (at 0.75 µg/kg/min) achieves levels of platelet inhibition known to be associated with a low risk of thrombotic events:
– Without increased risk of bleeding before or during CABG, although with a numerical increase in minor pre-CABG bleeding
– Independent of prior thienopyridine dose & time of discontinuation
– Consistent pharmaocdynamic effect during IV infusion
– Rapid offset after IV discontinuation prior to surgery
● No increased incidence of adverse events (e.g. dyspnea) or laboratory abnormalities despite extended dosing.
18
Conclusions
● The results of the BRIDGE trial support the hypothesis that IV cangrelor is a feasible and safe management strategy in patients who require prolonged platelet P2Y12 inhibition after thienopyridine discontinuation prior to cardiac surgery.
● Larger patient samples are warranted to more definitively assert the safety and efficacy of cangrelor as a bridging therapy in patients with ACS or treated with coronary stents who require surgery.
