ODYSSEY OUTCOMES: Addition of PCSK9i to Background Statin Therapy Further Reduces MACE

CABG Sub-analysis Overview

Study Design

  • Prespecified analysis
  • Patients were categorized by coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) status:
    • No CABG (n=16,896)
    • CABG after the index ACS but before randomization (index CABG; n=1,025, including n=44 with prior CABG), or
    • CABG prior to the index ACS (prior CABG; n=1 ,003)
  • The primary composite endpoint of MACE encompassed CHD death, nonfatal MI, ischemic stroke, or unstable angina requiring hospitalization
    • The secondary endpoint was all-cause death

Effect of Alirocumab in Patients with ACS, Elevated Atherogenic Lipoproteins and Prior CABG

ᵃ index CABG is CABG between the index ACS event and randomization (including 44 patients with prior CABG);

ᵇ Prior CABG is CABG prior to the index ACS event. HRs reflect stratification by geographic region

CABG Sub-analysis Conclusions

  • In this sub-analysis, it was observed that, in a population that has not been fully investigated with regards to the effect of LDL-C lowering therapies, the addition of alirocumab to patients with prior CABG, recent ACS and elevated atherogenic lipoproteins despite intensive statin therapy was associated with consistent relative but greater ARR in MACE and death when compared to patients with an index or no CABG
