A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multi-Center, Parallel Group Study to Assess the Efficacy (Reduction of Cardiovascular Disease Events) and Safety of 100 mg Enteric-Coated Acetylsalicylic Acid in Patients at Moderate Risk of Cardiovascular Disease
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic acid, BAYE4465) and Placebo for Moderate Risk of CVD. Completed, enrolled 12,546 participants across 466 sites in 8 countries.
Detailed Summary
The use of acetylsalicylic acid in the primary prevention of cardiovascular events has been extensively studied but to a lesser extent in patients with moderate levels of cardiovascular risk. The current study is designed to prove the efficacy and tolerability of 100 mg enteric-coated Aspirin versus placebo in the prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events, which include fatal and nonfatal myocardial infarction, fatal and nonfatal stroke and CV death, in a population with no history of known CVD who are at moderate risk of major CHD events (approximately 10-20% 10 year CHD risk). This corresponds to a patient population mean 10-year CVD risk of approximately 30%. Subjects are treated in a standard care setting and may receive treatment for the underlying risk factors as defined by the treating physician. Outcome events will be adjudicated by an Endpoint Adjudication Committee and the study will be monitored by an independent Data Safety Monitoring Board.
