Summary

This study will test whether darapladib can safely lower the chances of having a cardiovascular event (such as a heart attack or urgent coronary revascularization (e.g. medical procedures performed to restore the normal blood flow in patients with atherosclerosis)) when treatment is started within 30 days after an acute coronary syndrome (also called ACS).

• Phase: Phase 3

• Collaborator: The TIMI Study Group

• At least 60 years old.

• Myocardial infarction prior to the qualifying ACS event.

• Diabetes mellitus requiring treatment with medication.

• Diagnosed mild or moderate reduction in kidney function.

Exclusion Criteria:

• ACS symptoms or lab results not believed to be caused by a narrowing or blocked coronary artery.

• No major coronary artery with a blockage of more than 50% (unless all stenoses are successfully treated by PCI).

• Any life-threatening disease with a life expectancy of less than 2 years (other than heart disease) that may prevent the subject from completing the study.

• Certain medications that may interfere with the study medication (these will be identified by the study doctor).

• If both birth parents are at least 50% Japanese, Chinese, or Korean ancestry, must have a blood sample collected for Lp-PLA2 activity. Those with Lp-PLA2 activity less than or equal to 20.0 nmol/min/mL are excluded.

• Previously took darapladib (SB-480848).
