Angina pectoris: what the trials found

Ranolazine reduced average weekly angina frequency (5.2 vs 4.5, p=0.008) and average weekly sublingual nitroglycerin use (3.6 vs 2.9, p=0.003) over the last 6 weeks of treatment in a phase 4 trial of 949 patients 1. The percentage of weeks with at least a 50% reduction in angina frequency was 41% vs 46% 1. In a separate phase 3 trial of 2651 patients, ranolazine did not significantly affect time to first ischemia-driven revascularization or hospitalization (p=0.48), sudden cardiac death (p=0.40), or cardiovascular death (p=0.82) 4.

Caduet (amlodipine/atorvastatin) produced percent changes from baseline in LDL-C ranging from -10.9 to -7.4 to -10.5 to -12.3 to -12.2 across visits, total cholesterol from -7.3 to -5.0 to -7.9 to -8.0 to -8.1, and HDL-C from 1.5 to 4.0 to -0.5 to 2.2 to 2.5 in a phase 4 trial of 159 patients 3.

The Orsiro DES was associated with target lesion failure at 12 months in 9% of participants (p<0.0001) in a trial of 556 patients 10. In another trial of 1334 patients, Bayesian estimated target lesion failure at 12 months was 6.32% vs 8.90%, with device success in 1082 vs 566 lesions (p=0.415) 11.

Near infrared spectroscopy imaging resulted in zero clinical cardiac events definitely attributable to the study device from enrollment to 7 days post enrollment in a phase 3 trial of 106 patients 5. Succinate metoprolol was studied in a phase 4 trial of 251 patients, but no outcome results were reported 2.

Recent results — preliminary, needs further review

  • CK-1827452 24mg and 6 mg iv infusion: in a phase 2 trial of 94 patients, participants with 1 mm ST segment depression during ETT-3 were 0, 1, and 2 across groups; not yet corroborated 6.
  • Telcagepant: in a phase 1 trial of 64 patients, time to 1 mm ST segment depression was 363.53 vs 370.67; not yet corroborated 7.
  • Mass spectrometry using the PTR TOF-1000: in a trial of 80 patients, changes in concentrations of total cholesterol, TG, LDL, LDL, HDL, and VLDL in individuals with stress-induced myocardial perfusion defect vs without were 5.61 vs 5.49, 1.41 vs 1.16, and 3.46 vs 3.27; not yet corroborated 8.
  • HYCR: in a trial of 282 patients, number of CR sessions completed within 6 months was 28.7 vs 27.6, percentage completing 36 CR sessions within 6 months was 58.5 vs 50.7, and improvement in quality of life (Dartmouth COOP total score) was -3.9 vs -3.4; not yet corroborated 9.
  • XIENCE PRIME SV Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent: in a trial of 312 patients, percent diameter stenosis was 28.31, with 100% device implant success and 100% lesion procedural success; not yet corroborated 12.

For the clinician treating this condition

  • Ranolazine reduces angina frequency and sublingual nitroglycerin use in patients with angina pectoris, but does not improve major cardiovascular outcomes such as revascularization, sudden cardiac death, or cardiovascular death 14.
  • Caduet (amlodipine/atorvastatin) improves lipid profiles, including reductions in LDL-C and total cholesterol, in patients with angina pectoris 3.
  • The Orsiro DES is associated with low rates of target lesion failure at 12 months and high device success rates 1011.
  • Near infrared spectroscopy imaging appears safe with no device-attributable cardiac events at 7 days 5.
