HEAT PPCI How Effective are Antithrombotic Therapies in PPCI Heparin versus Bivalirudin in PPCI Dr Adeel Shahzad Dr Rod Stables (PI) Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital Liverpool, UK
Background • Anti-thrombotic therapy in PPCI • Selective (‘bailout’) use of GP IIb/IIIa antagonists (GPI) • Increasingly the norm in routine practice • Recommended by international guidelines • ESC ACCF / AHA
Background • Anti-thrombotic therapy in PPCI • Selective (‘bailout’) use of GP IIb/IIIa antagonists (GPI) • Increasingly the norm in routine practice • Recommended by key guidelines (ESC, ACCF / AHA) • Bivalirudin + selective (7% - 15%) use of GPI • Established anti-thrombotic treatment option
Background • Bleeding is associated with less favourable outcomes • Increased GPI use - results in increased bleeding • Observed for both bivalirudin and heparin • Relative performance of bivalirudin and heparin - • Cannot be reliably assessed with differential GPI use • HEAT PPCI • Bivalirudin + selective GPI v Heparin + selective GPI
Background • Bleeding is associated with less favourable outcomes • Increased GPI use - results in increased bleeding • Observed for both bivalirudin and heparin • Relative performance of bivalirudin and heparin - • Cannot be assessed reliably with differential GPI use • HEAT PPCI • Bivalirudin + ‘bailout’ GPI v Heparin + ‘bailout’ GPI
Study Description • Single centre RCT • Trial recruitment: Feb 2012 - Nov 2013 22 months • Bivalirudin v Unfractionated Heparin • STEMIpatients • Randomised at presentation • Acute phase management with Primary PCI
Study Description • Single centre RCT • Trial recruitment: Feb 2012 - Nov 2013 22 months • Bivalirudin v Unfractionated Heparin • STEMIpatients • Randomised at presentation • Acute phase management with Primary PCI • Philosophy for clinical teams: • Assess ‘Every Patient - Every Time’
Study Population Inclusion Criterion • All STEMI patients activating PPCI pathway Exclusion Criteria • Active bleeding at presentation • Factors precluding administration of oral A-P therapy • Known intolerance / contraindication to trial medication • Previous enrolment in this trial
Study Medication • Dual oral anti-platelet therapy pre-procedure • Heparin: 70 units/kg body weight pre-procedure • Bivalirudin: Bolus 0.75 mg/kg Infusion 1.75 mg/kg/hr - procedure duration
Study Medication • Dual oral anti-platelet therapy pre-procedure • Heparin: 70 units/kg body weight pre-procedure • Bivalirudin: Bolus 0.75 mg/kg Infusion 1.75 mg/kg/hr - procedure duration • GPI - Abciximab • Selective (‘bailout’) use in both groups • ESC guideline indications
Outcome Measures At 28 days Primary Efficacy Outcome Measure • Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE) - • All-cause mortality • Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) • Re-infarction • Unplanned target lesion revascularisation (TLR)
Outcome Measures At 28 days Primary Efficacy Outcome Measure • Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE) Primary Safety Outcome Measure • Major bleeding - • Type 3-5 bleeding as per BARC definitions
Study Organisation • Data Monitoring and Safety Committee (DMSC) • All key clinical events adjudicated • Clinical Events Committee • Blinded to the treatment allocation • Use of a delayed consent strategy
Delayed Consent • Full UK ethical approval • Patients randomised and treated without discussion • Subsequent informed consent in recovery phase • Additional national approval - • Use of data from patients who died before consent
Results - Population 1917 patients scheduled for emergency angiography 29 (1.5%) already randomised in the trial 59 (3.0%) met one or more other exclusion criteria 1829 eligible for recruitment

Study Limitations • Single centre • Potential impact minimised by: • Meticulous trial conduct • Unselected representative population • Study treatments are iv drugs (no ‘skill’ component) • Multiple operators • Outcomes as expected by national norms
Study Limitations • Single centre • Open label • Potential impact minimised by: • Complete follow-up - No ‘lost’ cases • Outcome measures were overt clinical events • Most MI events involved angiographic imaging • Independent blinded adjudication • Open label used in HORIZONS and EUROMAX
Conclusions • A unique study with 100% recruitment of eligible patients
Conclusions • A unique study with 100% recruitment of eligible patients Use of heparin rather than bivalirudin • Reduced rate of major adverse events (NNT = 33) • Fewer stent thromboses and reinfarction events
Conclusions • A unique study with 100% recruitment of eligible patients Use of heparin rather than bivalirudin • Reduced rate of major adverse events (NNT = 33) • Fewer stent thromboses and reinfarction events • Consistent effect across pre-specified subgroups
Conclusions • A unique study with 100% recruitment of eligible patients Use of heparin rather than bivalirudin • Reduced rate of major adverse events (NNT = 33) • Fewer stent thromboses and reinfarction events • Consistent effect across pre-specified subgroups • No increase in bleeding complications
Conclusions • A unique study with 100% recruitment of eligible patients Use of heparin rather than bivalirudin • Reduced rate of major adverse events (NNT = 33) • Fewer stent thromboses and reinfarction events • Consistent effect across pre-specified subgroups • No increase in bleeding complications • Potential for substantial saving in drug costs

Single-centre Trials ? 6 Common assumptions - based on historic connotations • Smaller studies - often underpowered • Potential subversion of randomisation • Less robust trial procedures and documentation • No adjudication of adverse events
Single-centre Trials ? 7 Common assumptions - based on historic connotations • Smaller studies - often underpowered • Potential subversion of randomisation • Less robust trial procedures and documentation • No adjudication of adverse events No active problems for HEAT PPCI
Single-centre Trials ? 8 Issues related to the patient population • Unselected: External referral to trial centre • Near universal inclusion in trial • Patients typical for UK population • Predominantly Caucasian race
