Protease-activated receptor-1 antagonists in long-term antiplatelet therapy. Current state of evidence and future perspectives.
Atherothrombosis and its clinical manifestations are among the leading causes of death in the developed world. The current standard-of-care antiplatelet therapy for the treatment of such events comprises aspirin and a thienopyridine or ticagrelor. However, recurrent ischemic events due to residual cardiovascular risk are a common phenomenon in these patients. It is believed that this residual risk is caused, at least in part, by thrombin, which signals through protease-activated receptors (PARs) and especially PAR-1. Thus, PAR-1 antagonism could represent an effective approach in the treatment of atherothrombotic disease. In this context, two potent and selective agents have been developed, vorapaxar and atopaxar. However, only vorapaxar has completed phase 3 clinical trials. In the present review, the main pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties of the PAR-1 antagonists are briefly described and the latest clinical data on vorapaxar are presented.

New antithrombotics for secondary prevention of acute coronary syndrome.
Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) usually receive acetylsalicylic acid plus an adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor inhibitor to reduce the long-term risk of recurrent events. However, patients receiving standard antiplatelet prophylaxis still face a substantial risk of recurrent events. Strategies involving 3 antithrombotic agents with different modes of action have now been tested. In Thrombin Receptor Antagonists for Clinical Event Reduction (TRA-CER), compared with standard care alone, bleeding complications including intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) were increased with the addition of vorapaxar, without efficacy benefit. In Trial to Assess the Effects of SCH 530348 in Preventing Heart Attack and Stroke in Patients With Atherosclerosis (TRA 2°P-TIMI 50), the addition of vorapaxar reduced recurrent events compared with standard care in stable patients with prior myocardial infarction. This study was terminated early in patients with prior stroke owing to excess ICH, though an increased risk of ICH or fatal bleeding was not detected in patients with prior myocardial infarction. The Apixaban for Prevention of Acute Ischemic and Safety Events 2 (APPRAISE-2) trial of standard-dose apixaban added to standard care in patients with ACS was also stopped early owing to excess serious bleeding. However, in Rivaroxaban in Combination With Aspirin Alone or With Aspirin and a Thienopyridine in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes (ATLAS ACS 2 TIMI 51), fatal bleeding or fatal ICH did not increase with low-dose rivaroxaban added to low-dose acetylsalicylic acid-based standard care compared with standard care alone. In that trial, a significant reduction of recurrent vascular events was shown with 3 antithrombotic regimens compared with standard care. Therefore, depending on drug dose and patient population, further reductions in recurrent vascular events after ACS may be possible in future clinical practice, with a favorable benefit-risk profile.

PAR-1 antagonists: current state of evidence.
Vorapaxar (SCH 530348) and atopaxar (E5555) are oral protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR-1) antagonists with high bioavailability. They inhibits thrombin induced platelet aggregation by competitively inhibiting PAR-1. We systematically evaluated the evidence for the efficacy and safety of all PAR-1 antagonists as well as for the individual drugs vorapaxar and atopaxar in different databases-PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and Cochrane register of Controlled Clinical Trials (CENTRAL).We selected randomized controlled trials of PAR-1 antagonists that reported on cardiovascular mortality as a clinical outcome. The random-effects Mantel-Haenszel model was used to evaluate the effect of PAR-1 antagonists on cardiovascular mortality. Seven trials were selected (N = 42,355) for analysis. PAR-1 antagonists as a class, as well as individually, were associated with a non-significant numerically lower risk of cardiovascular mortality than that seen with agents used in the control group; RR, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.83-1.04; P = 0.20). No heterogeneity was noted. However, PAR-1 antagonists also appeared to increase the risk of bleeding significantly. PAR-1 antagonists appear to be associated with some reduction in the risk of cardiovascular mortality; however the significantly higher bleeding risk noted with PAR-1 antagonists appear to mandate a very careful selection of patients that may benefit without a substantially increased risk of bleeds.

Emerging antiplatelet therapy for coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndrome.
Antiplatelet therapy is used widely with proven benefit for the prevention of further ischemic cardiac complications in patients with known coronary artery disease (CAD) and a history of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The limitations of conventional antiplatelet therapy with aspirin, clopidogrel, or prasugrel, as well as the fact that rates of recurrent ischemic events still remain high with use of these agents, underscore the need to investigate alternate agents that may further reduce event rates while limiting bleeding risk. The selection of antiplatelet therapy is further influenced by the following: ticagrelor was approved in July 2011 by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and clopidogrel is slated to become available as a generic productin 2012. We provide an overview of emerging agents for the treatment of CAD and ACS, including the reversible P2Y(12) antagonists ticagrelor, cangrelor, and elinogrel, and a new class of oral protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR-1) inhibitors, vorapaxar and atopaxar.The recently approved P2Y(12) antagonists prasugrel and ticagrelor demonstrate enhanced ability to prevent adverse cardiac outcomes. However, this comes at a cost of a potential increased risk of bleeding. New adverse effects have also emerged, including dyspnea for all of the reversible P2Y(12) antagonists (ticagrelor, cangrelor, and elinogrel) and ventricular pauses for ticagrelor. In addition, the newer P2Y(12) antagonists have a faster onset and offset. Two of these agents, cangrelor and elinogrel, are available as intravenous formulations, which may provide additional benefits in patients who undergo coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Trials with the PAR-1 inhibitors have also shown trends toward reductions in cardiac events, but not without the possibility of increased bleeding. More than ever, as the arsenal of antiplatelet therapy expands, health care providers need to understand the pharmacologic and pharmacodynamic differences between conventional and emerging antiplatelet therapies for patients with ACS and CAD. Health care providers must also carefully assess patient-specific factors such as risk of thrombosis, concomitant disease states, age, drug adherence, and aspirin dose, and plan for those patients who will be undergoing CABG when selecting antiplatelet therapy in order to optimally balance bleeding and thrombosis risk.

Platelet protease-activated receptor antagonism in cardiovascular medicine.
Ischemic heart disease remains the number one cause of death in the world despite advances in invasive and pharmacologic therapies. An ongoing area of research is the central role of platelets in atherothrombosis. Many therapeutic strategies have been developed over the last few decades affecting different platelet receptors to alter platelet-mediated thrombosis including targeting the receptors for thromboxane A(2), adenosine diphosphate, and fibrinogen. However, despite the use of pharmacologic agents directed at these pathways, residual morbidity and mortality still exist. Therefore, identifying agents that more favorably balance a reduction in ischemic events while minimizing bleeding events is an ongoing mission. Thrombin is known to be the most potent stimulant of platelet-mediated thrombosis whose action on the platelet is through a family of receptors known as the protease-activated receptors (PARs). Activation through the PAR-1 receptor, in particular, results in an early and intense response by the platelet to thrombin, and it is the primary thrombin receptor on platelets, thus making it a potentially desirable target for therapy. Most recently, two PAR-1 antagonists, atopaxar and vorapaxar, have been tested in clinical trials. Generally, the results show a reduction in ischemic event rates, but an increase in bleeding event rates. This article will summarize the current state of the literature and consider the role these drugs might play in the future for the prevention of ischemic heart disease events.

Safety and efficacy of protease-activated receptor-1 antagonists in patients with coronary artery disease: a meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials.
Thrombin receptor antagonists blocking protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR-1) on platelets represent a new class of oral antiplatelet agents for patients with atherothrombotic disease manifestations.. We investigated the safety and efficacy of PAR-1 antagonists in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).. Randomized, placebo-controlled trials of the PAR-1 antagonists atopaxar or vorapaxar in CAD patients were identified. The primary safety endpoint was the composite of Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) clinically significant bleeding. The primary efficacy endpoint was the composite of death, myocardial infarction (MI) or stroke.. A total of 41 647 patients from eight trials were included. PAR-1 antagonists were associated with higher risks of TIMI clinically significant (odds ratio [OR] 1.48, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.39-1.57, P < 0.001), major (OR 1.46, 95% CI 1.28-1.67, P < 0.001) and minor (OR 1.67, 95% CI 1.40-2.00, P < 0.001) bleeding than placebo in the fixed-effects model. PAR-1 antagonists reduced the composite of death, MI or stroke as compared with placebo (OR 0.87, 95% CI 0.81-0.92, P < 0.001), driven by a lower risk of MI (OR 0.85, 95% CI 0.78-0.92, P < 0.001). Conversely, PAR-1 antagonists and placebo did not differ in terms of risk of death (OR 0.99, 95% CI 0.90-1.09, P = 0.81) or stroke (OR 0.96, 95% CI 0.84-1.10, P = 0.59).. PAR-1 antagonists decrease ischemic events in patients with CAD as compared with placebo, mainly driven by a reduction in MI, at the cost of an increased risk of clinically significant bleeding.

Mechanism of action and clinical development of platelet thrombin receptor antagonists.
Atherothrombotic disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Currently, dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and ADP receptor antagonists has shown improved short- and long-term clinical outcomes but is associated with increased bleeding risk, and the rates of recurrent ischemic events still remain high. Selective inhibition of the principal protease-activated receptor (PAR)-1 for thrombin, the most potent platelet activator, represents a promising novel strategy to reduce ischemic events without increasing the risk of bleeding. Two PAR-1 antagonists are currently being tested in clinical trials: SCH 530348 and E5555. Both have demonstrated an antiplatelet effect without increasing bleeding time in preclinical trials. Results of Phase II trials showed that SCH 530348, in addition to standard antiplatelet therapy, was well tolerated and not associated with increased bleeding risk. The safety and tolerability of E5555 is being evaluated in patients with coronary artery disease and non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome in four Phase II clinical trials. Two large-scale Phase III trials assessing the efficacy of SCH 530348 in addition to the standard of care are currently ongoing. This article provides an overview of the current status of knowledge on platelet thrombin receptor antagonists, focusing on pharmacologic properties and clinical development.

Randomized trial of atopaxar in the treatment of patients with coronary artery disease: the lessons from antagonizing the cellular effect of Thrombin–Coronary Artery Disease Trial.
Thrombin is a key mediator of platelet activation. Atopaxar is a reversible protease-activated receptor-1 antagonist that interferes with thrombin-mediated platelet effects. The phase II Lessons From Antagonizing the Cellular Effect of Thrombin-Coronary Artery Disease (LANCELOT-CAD) trial examined the safety and tolerability of prolonged therapy with atopaxar in subjects with CAD.. Subjects with a qualifying history were randomized in a double-blind fashion to 3 dosing regimens of atopaxar (50, 100, or 200 mg daily) or matching placebo for 24 weeks and followed up for an additional 4 weeks. The key safety end points were bleeding according to the Clopidogrel in Unstable Angina to Prevent Recurrent Events (CURE) and Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) classifications. Secondary objectives included platelet aggregation and major adverse cardiac events. Seven hundred and twenty subjects were randomized. Overall bleeding rates tended to be higher with atopaxar compared with placebo by CURE criteria (placebo, 0.6%; atopaxar, 3.9%; relative risk, 6.82, P=0.03; 50 mg, 3.9%; 100 mg, 1.7%; 200 mg, 5.9%; P for trend=0.01) and TIMI criteria (placebo, 6.8%; atopaxar, 10.3%; relative risk, 1.52, P=0.17; 50 mg, 9.9%; 100 mg, 8.1%; 200 mg, 12.9%; P for trend=0.07). There was no difference in major bleeding. Major adverse cardiac events were numerically lower in the atopaxar subjects. All atopaxar regimens achieved high levels of platelet inhibition. A transient elevation in liver transaminases and dose-dependent QTc prolongation without apparent complications were observed in higher-dose atopaxar treatment groups.. In this dose-ranging study of patients with CAD, treatment with atopaxar resulted in platelet inhibition, more minor bleeding, and numerically but not statistically fewer ischemic events. Larger-scale trials are needed to determine whether these patterns translate into clinically meaningful effects.. URL: http://www.ClinicalTrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00312052.

Safety and tolerability of atopaxar in the treatment of patients with acute coronary syndromes: the lessons from antagonizing the cellular effects of Thrombin–Acute Coronary Syndromes Trial.
Atopaxar (E5555) is a reversible protease-activated receptor-1 thrombin receptor antagonist that interferes with platelet signaling. The primary objective of the Lessons From Antagonizing the Cellular Effects of Thrombin-Acute Coronary Syndromes (LANCELOT—ACS) trial was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of atopaxar in patients with ACS.. Six hundred and three subjects were randomized within 72 hours of non-ST-elevation ACS to 1 of 3 doses of atopaxar (400-mg loading dose followed by 50, 100, or 200 mg daily) or matching placebo. The incidence of Clopidogrel in Unstable Angina to Prevent Recurrent Events (CURE) major or minor bleeding did not differ significantly between the combined atopaxar and placebo groups (3.08% versus 2.17%, respectively; P=0.63), and there was no dose-related trend (P=0.80). The incidence of CURE major bleeding was numerically higher in the atopaxar group compared with the placebo group (1.8% versus 0%; P=0.12). The incidence of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, or recurrent ischemia was similar between the atopaxar and placebo arms (8.03% versus 7.75%; P=0.93). The incidence of CV death, MI, or stroke was 5.63% in the placebo group and 3.25% in the combined atopaxar group (P=0.20). Dose-dependent trends for efficacy were not seen. Atopaxar significantly reduced ischemia on continuous ECG monitoring (Holter) at 48 hours compared with placebo (relative risk, 0.67; P=0.02). Transient dose-dependent transaminase elevation and relative QTc prolongation were observed with the highest doses of atopaxar.. In patients after ACS, atopaxar significantly reduced early ischemia on Holter monitoring without a significant increase in major or minor bleeding. Larger trials are required to fully establish the efficacy and safety of atopaxar.. URL: http://www.ClinicalTrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00548587.

Double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II studies of the protease-activated receptor 1 antagonist E5555 (atopaxar) in Japanese patients with acute coronary syndrome or high-risk coronary artery disease.
Two multicentre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II studies assessed the safety and efficacy of the oral protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR-1) antagonist E5555 in addition to standard therapy in Japanese patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or high-risk coronary artery disease (CAD).. Patients with ACS (n = 241) or high-risk CAD (n = 263) received E5555 (50, 100, or 200 mg) or placebo once daily for 12 (ACS patients) or 24 weeks (CAD patients). The incidence of TIMI major, minor, and minimal bleeds requiring medical attention was similar in the placebo and combined E5555 (atopaxar) groups (ACS: 6.6% placebo vs. 5.0% E5555; CAD: 1.5% placebo vs. 1.5% E5555). There were no TIMI major bleeds and three CURE major bleeds (two with placebo; one with 100 mg E5555). There was a numerical increase in 'any' TIMI bleeding with the E5555 200 mg dose (ACS: 16.4% placebo vs. 23.0% E5555, P = 0.398; CAD: 4.5% placebo vs. 13.2% E5555, P = 0.081). The rate of major cardiovascular adverse events in the combined E5555 group was not different from placebo (ACS: 6.6% placebo vs. 5.0% E5555, P = 0.73; CAD: 4.5% placebo vs. 1.0% E5555, P = 0.066). There was a statistically significant dose-dependent increase in liver function abnormalities and QTcF with E5555. At trough dosing levels in both populations, mean inhibition of platelet aggregation was > 90% with 100 and 200 mg E5555, and 20-60% with 50 mg E5555.. E5555 (50, 100, and 200 mg) did not increase clinically significant bleeding, although there was a higher rate of any TIMI bleeding with the highest two doses. All doses tested achieved a significant level of platelet inhibition. There was a significant dose-dependent increase in liver function abnormalities and QTcF. Although further study is needed, PAR-1 antagonism may have the potential to be a novel pathway for platelet inhibition to add on to the current standard of care therapy.

The novel and orally active thrombin receptor antagonist E5555 (Atopaxar) inhibits arterial thrombosis without affecting bleeding time in guinea pigs.
Thrombin is a powerful agonist for platelets, the action of which is mediated by the thrombin receptor protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR-1). Recently, we discovered that E5555 (1-(3-tert-butyl-4-methoxy-5-morpholinophenyl)-2-(5,6-diethoxy-7-fluoro-1-imino-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yl) ethanone hydrobromide) is a potent thrombin receptor antagonist. We evaluated the anti-platelet and anti-thrombotic effects of E5555. E5555 inhibited the binding of a high-affinity thrombin receptor-activating peptide ([(3)H]haTRAP) to PAR-1 with a half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC(50)) value of 0.019μM. E5555 showed potent inhibitory effects on human platelet aggregation induced by thrombin and TRAP with IC(50) values of 0.064 and 0.031μM, respectively, but had no effect on platelet aggregation induced by either ADP or collagen. Similarly, E5555 showed potent and selective inhibitory effects on guinea pig platelet aggregation induced by thrombin and TRAP with IC(50) values of 0.13 and 0.097μM, respectively. The antithrombotic activity of E5555 in vivo was evaluated in a photochemically-induced thrombosis (PIT) model using guinea pigs. Oral administration of E5555 at 30 and 100mg/kg prolonged the time to occlusion by 1.8-fold and 2.4-fold, respectively, compared with controls. Furthermore, E5555 did not prolong bleeding time in guinea pigs at the highest tested dosage of 1000mg/kg. The drug interactions between E5555 and tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) were evaluated. Intravenous administration of 1mg/kg tPA significantly prolonged bleeding time, and its effects were not altered by the oral co-administration of 300mg/kg E5555. These results suggest that E5555 could be a therapeutic option for atherothrombotic disease.

Emerging oral antiplatelet therapies for acute coronary syndromes.
Emergency department physicians, along with hospitalists and interventional cardiologists, provide first-line care for patients experiencing symptoms potentially associated with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Because these health care providers encounter and manage patients with varying degrees of risk, a clear understanding of the modes of action, benefits, and limitations of various therapeutic options is crucial for achieving optimal outcomes in the acute-care setting. Oral antiplatelet therapy has a major role in the acute care of patients with suspected ACS due to the critical role of platelets in the pathophysiology of disease. The current standard-of-care oral antiplatelet therapy for ACS is aspirin in combination with a P2Y12 adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor antagonist, most commonly clopidogrel. Aspirin and P2Y12 antagonists have both demonstrated efficacy in reducing morbidity and mortality in patients with ACS, but are also associated with increased bleeding risk compared with controls. Additionally, despite dual oral antiplatelet therapy, patients remain at substantial residual risk for ischemic events due to thrombotic episodes driven by platelet activation pathways that are not inhibited by these agents, including the protease-activated receptor (PAR)-1 platelet activation pathway, stimulated by thrombin. Novel oral antiplatelet agents in advanced clinical development include a direct and more readily reversible P2Y12 antagonist, ticagrelor, as well as a new class of PAR-1 antagonists, which includes vorapaxar and atopaxar. Ticagrelor has shown a significant ischemic benefit and an increase in non-surgical bleeding over clopidogrel in the large phase 3 Platelet Inhibition and Patient Outcomes trial. Results of phase 2 trials with PAR-1 antagonists suggest that these agents may provide incremental reduction in ischemic events without a bleeding liability. This hypothesis is being evaluated in 2 large ongoing phase 3 trials with vorapaxar, including the Thrombin Receptor Antagonist for Clinical Event Reduction in Acute Coronary Syndrome (TRA*CER) trial in patients with non-ST-segment elevation ACS.
