E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate clinical efficacy of long-term treatment with darapladib EC tablets, 160 mg (oral once daily dose) as compared to placebo when added to standard of care in a chronic CHD patient population on the incidence of first occurrence of the composite of MACE (i.e., CV death, non-fatal MI, non-fatal stroke). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The secondary objectives are to evaluate the efficacy of darapladib on major and total coronary events (including CHD death, non-fatal MI, urgent and non-urgent coronary revascularization, or hospitalization for unstable angina), individual components of MACE and all-cause mortality. Additional safety and efficacy parameters, including relations to and changes of biomarkers of CV risk, health economic outcomes, and adverse events, will also be evaluated. |

Current treatment with statin therapy |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Planned coronary revascularization (PCI or CABG) or any other major surgical procedure. 2. Current liver disease, known hepatic or biliary abnormalities (with the exception of Gilberts syndrome or asymptomatic gallstones) or evidence of abnormal liver function tests [total bilirubin or alkaline phosphatase >1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN); or ALT or AST >2.5 x ULN or other hepatic abnormalities that in the opinion of the Investigator would preclude the subject from participation in the study. 3. Severe renal impairment (eGFR13 <30 mL/min/1.73 m2) or history of nephrectomy or kidney transplant (regardless of renal function). 4. Current severe heart failure (New York Heart Association class III or IV). 5. Poorly controlled hypertension despite lifestyle modifications and pharmacotherapy 6. Any life-threatening condition with life expectancy <2 years, other than vascular disease, that might prevent the subject from completing the study (e.g., very severe chronic airways disease, known human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] positive, or cancer in the past five years other than non-melanoma skin cancer). 7. Severe asthma that is poorly controlled on pharmacotherapy. 8. Positive pregnancy test (all female subjects of childbearing potential must have a urine &#946;-human chorionic gonadotropin [hCG] pregnancy test performed at Screening and/or within 7 days prior to randomization) or is known to be pregnant or lactating. History of anaphylaxis, anaphylactoid (resembling anaphylaxis) reactions (Refer to 9. Clinical criteria for diagnosing anaphylaxis), or severe allergic responses. 10. Alcohol or drug abuse within the past 6 months, or current mental condition (psychiatric disorder, senility or dementia), which may affect study compliance or prevent understanding of the aims, investigational procedures or possible consequences of the study. 11. Current or planned chronic administration of strong oral or injectable cytochrome P- 450 isoenzyme 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibitors.15 12. Subjects with both parents of Japanese, Chinese, or Korean ancestry must have a blood sample collected for assessment of Lp-PLA2 activity by the central laboratory prior to randomization. Those with Lp-PLA2 activity &#8804;10 nmol/min/mL will be excluded from participation in the study.16 13. Previous exposure to darapladib (SB-480848). 14. Use of another investigational product within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is the longer) preceding the first dose of darapladib or matching placebo. 15. Currently in a study of an investigational device. 16. Any other reason the investigator deems the subject to be unsuitable for the study |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary efficacy endpoint is the time to the first occurrence of any component of the composite of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE: CV death, non-fatal MI, or non-fatal stroke) in a chronic CHD population treated with darapladib enteric coated tablets, 160 mg compared with placebo. Cardiovascular Death CV death is defined as death due to documented CV cause. Causes of CV deaths include but are not limited to deaths resulting from stroke, arrhythmia, sudden death (witnessed or unwitnessed), MI, heart failure, pulmonary embolism, PAD or complications of a CV procedure. Additionally, deaths not clearly attributable to non-CV causes will be considered CV deaths.
Acute MI: evidence of myocardial necrosis in a clinical setting consistent with myocardial ischemia. Under these conditions, any one of the following criteria meets the diagnosis for MI: Detection of rise and/or fall of cardiac biomarkers (preferably troponin) with at least one value above the 99th percentile of a normal reference population (URL = upper reference limit) together with evidence of myocardial ischemia with at least one of the following: Symptoms of ischemia; ECG changes indicative of new ischemia Sudden, unexpected cardiac death, involving cardiac arrest, often with symptoms suggestive of myocardial ischemia, and accompanied by presumably new ST elevation, or new LBBB, and/or evidence of fresh thrombus by coronary angiography and/or autopsy, but death occurring before blood samples could be obtained, or at a time before the appearance of cardiac biomarkers in the blood. For PCI in patients with normal baseline troponin values, elevations of cardiac biomarkers above the 99th percentile URL are indicative of peri-procedural necrosis. By convention, increases of biomarkers greater than 3 x 99th URL have been designated as defining PCI-related myocardial infarction. A subtype related to a documented stent thrombosis is recognized. For coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with normal baseline troponin values, elevations of cardiac biomarkers above the 99th percentile URL are indicative of peri-procedural myocardial necrosis. By convention, increases of biomarkers greater than 5 x 99th percentile URL plus either new pathological waves or new left bundle branch block, or angiographically documented new graft or native coronary artery occlusion, or imaging evidence of new loss of viable myocardium have been designated as defining CABG-related myocardial infarction. Pathological findings of an acute MI. Prior MI (i.e., diagnosed post-randomization): Any one of the following criteria meets the diagnosis for prior myocardial infarction: Development of new pathological Q waves with or without symptoms. 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 abnormalities). Pathological findings of a healed or healing MI. Stroke |
