MDCO, The Medicines Company
MDCO reported results for its pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of cangrelor, which is in development to prevent platelet activation and aggregation that leads to thrombosis in the acute care setting, including in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Following the recommendation of the trial’s Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) in July 2012 to continue the protocol as planned, the CHAMPION PHOENIX trial completed enrollment in October 2012.
After successful data lock, the data analysis revealed that the protocol defined primary composite efficacy endpoint of death, myocardial infarction, ischemia driven revascularization and stent thrombosis at 48 hours was met. Cangrelor demonstrated statistically significant improvement as compared to clopidogrel. Safety outcomes were similar to those observed in prior trials.
The trial results are planned to be presented at a major upcoming scientific meeting.
Cangrelor is an investigational agent not approved for commercial use in any market. Cangrelor, an intravenous small molecule antiplatelet agent, is in development to prevent platelet activation and aggregation that leads to thrombosis in the acute care setting including in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
