For at least the first 12 months following ACS, it is superior to clopidogrel. BRILINTA also reduces the risk of stent thrombosis in patients who have been stented for treatment of ACS. BRILINTA is indicated to reduce the risk of a first MI or stroke in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) at high risk for such events. While use is not limited to this setting, the efficacy of ticagrelor was established in a population with type 2 diabetes. PLATO was a randomized, international, double-blind, controlled comparative study in patients with ACS hospitalized with or without ST-segment elevation, with an onset of symptoms within 24 hours (N=18,624). Study period was 12 months, with median duration of therapy of 277 days. BRILINTA and clopidogrel were studied with aspirin and other standard therapies.1,2 The PEGASUS-TIMI 54 trial compared BRILINTA (90 mg twice daily or 60 mg twice daily) vs placebo, each given with low-dose aspirin, for the prevention of thrombotic CV events (CV death, MI, or stroke) in 21,162 patients ≥50 years of age with a history of MI (1 to 3 years prior to randomization). Patients also had at least 1 risk factor for thrombotic CV events (age ≥65 years, diabetes mellitus requiring medication, at least 1 other prior MI, evidence of multivessel coronary artery disease, or creatinine clearance 4 The THEMIS trial was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of ticagrelor versus placebo, on top of low-dose (75 to 150 mg) aspirin. Patients ≥50 years with type 2 diabetes receiving anti-hyperglycemic medications for at least 6 months, and with stable CAD (ie, history of PCI, CABG, or angiographic stenosis ≥50% in at least 1 coronary artery) were enrolled. Patients with known prior MI or stroke were excluded.1,5 In an observational real-world comparative effectiveness study evaluating 45,073 consecutive patients with acute MI and discharged on clopidogrel or ticagrelor using data from the SWEDEHEART Registry between 2010 and 2013. The analysis was adjusted for patients’ age, sex, pre-existing comorbidities, ACS presentation characteristics, in-hospital course, and discharge medications. In the analysis of MI, events during the 28-day period after discharge were not counted as early events may have been due to transfers between hospitals or coding practices.3IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR BRILINTA® (ticagrelor) 60-MG AND 90-MG TABLETSWARNINGS:A. BLEEDING RISK BRILINTA, like other antiplatelet agents, can cause significant, sometimes fatal bleeding Do not use BRILINTA in patients with active pathological bleeding or a history of intracranial hemorrhage Do not start BRILINTA in patients undergoing urgent coronary artery bypass graft surgery If possible, manage bleeding without discontinuing BRILINTA. Stopping BRILINTA increases the risk of subsequent cardiovascular eventsB. ASPIRIN DOSE AND BRILINTA EFFECTIVENESS IN PATIENTS WITH ACS Maintenance doses of aspirin above 100 mg reduce the effectiveness of BRILINTA and should be avoidedCONTRAINDICATIONS BRILINTA is contraindicated in patients with a history of intracranial hemorrhage or active pathological bleeding such as peptic ulcer or intracranial hemorrhage. BRILINTA is also contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity (eg, angioedema) to ticagrelor or any component of the productWARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Dyspnea was reported more frequently with BRILINTA than in patients treated with control agents. Dyspnea from BRILINTA is often self-limiting In patients being treated for coronary artery disease, discontinuation of BRILINTA will increase the risk of MI, stroke, and death. When possible, interrupt therapy with BRILINTA for 5 days prior to surgery that has a major risk of bleeding. If BRILINTA must be temporarily discontinued, restart as soon as possible Ticagrelor can cause ventricular pauses. Bradyarrhythmias including AV block have been reported in the post-marketing setting. Clinical trials excluded patients at increased risk of bradyarrhythmias not protected by a pacemaker, and they may be at increased risk of developing bradyarrhythmias Avoid use of BRILINTA in patients with severe hepatic impairment. Severe hepatic impairment is likely to increase serum concentration of ticagrelor and there are no studies of BRILINTA in these patients In patients with Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT): False negative results for HIT-related platelet functional tests, including the heparin-induced platelet aggregation (HIPA) assay, have been reported with BRILINTA. BRILINTA is not expected to impact PF4 antibody testing for HITADVERSE REACTIONS The most common adverse reactions (>5%) associated with the use of BRILINTA included bleeding and dyspneaDRUG INTERACTIONS Avoid use with strong CYP3A inhibitors and strong CYP3A inducers. BRILINTA is metabolized by CYP3A4/5. Strong inhibitors substantially increase ticagrelor exposure and so increase the risk of adverse events. Strong inducers substantially reduce ticagrelor exposure and so decrease the efficacy of ticagrelor As with other oral P2Y12 inhibitors, co-administration of opioid agonists delay and reduce the absorption of ticagrelor. Consider use of a parenteral anti-platelet in ACS patients requiring co-administration Patients receiving more than 40 mg per day of simvastatin or lovastatin may be at increased risk of statin-related adverse events Monitor digoxin levels with initiation of, or change in, BRILINTA therapySPECIAL POPULATIONS Lactation: Breastfeeding not recommendedINDICATIONSBRILINTA is indicated to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction (MI), and stroke in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or a history of myocardial infarction. For at least the first 12 months following ACS, it is superior to clopidogrel. BRILINTA also reduces the risk of stent thrombosis in patients who have been stented for treatment of ACS.BRILINTA is indicated to reduce the risk of a first MI or stroke in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) at high risk for such events. While use is not limited to this setting, the efficacy of ticagrelor was established in a population with type 2 diabetes.BRILINTA is indicated to reduce the risk of stroke in patients with acute ischemic stroke (NIH Stroke Scale ≤5) or high-risk transient ischemic attack (TIA).DOSINGIn the management of ACS, initiate BRILINTA treatment with a 180-mg loading dose. Administer 90 mg twice daily during the first year after an ACS event. After one year administer 60 mg twice daily.In patients with CAD but no prior stroke or MI, administer 60 mg twice daily.In patients with acute ischemic stroke or high-risk TIA, initiate treatment with a 180-mg loading dose of BRILINTA and then continue with 90 mg twice daily for up to 30 days. The treatment effect accrued early in the course of therapy. Use BRILINTA with a loading dose of aspirin (300 to 325 mg)Use BRILINTA with a daily maintenance dose of aspirin of 75-100 mg.References: 1. BRILINTA® (ticagrelor) [package insert].
