Summary

This study will evaluate the relative efficacy and safety of prasugrel and clopidogrel in a medically managed Unstable Angina/Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (UA/NSTEMI) acute coronary syndrome (ACS) population (that is, patients who are not managed with acute coronary revascularization).

Eligibility Criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria

  • Have had a Unstable Angina/Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (UA/NSTEMI) index event within 10 days prior to randomization
  • Had a medical management strategy decision made with reasonable certainty that neither percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) nor coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is planned for treatment of the index event
  • Had at least 1 of 4 specified high-risk features at the time of the UA/NSTEMI event

Key Exclusion Criteria

  • Decision for medical management greater than 72 hours after onset of index event without commercial clopidogrel treatment within 72 hours following onset of the index event.
  • Insignificant coronary artery disease (CAD) on coronary angiography if performed for Index Event (absence of greater than or equal to 30% stenosis in at least one native vessel)
  • Previous or planned PCI or CABG as treatment for the index event
  • PCI/CABG within previous 30 days
  • ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) as the index event
  • Cardiogenic shock, Refractory ventricular arrhythmias, New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class IV congestive heart failure (CHF) within the previous 24 hours
  • History of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), Intracranial neoplasm, arteriovenous malformation, or aneurysm
  • History of spontaneous gastrointestinal (GI) or non-GI bleeding requiring hospitalization for treatment, unless definitive treatment has occurred and there is low likelihood of recurrence
  • Hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis
