Abbott's XIENCE V(TM) Drug Eluting Stent Outperforms TAXUS(R) in Key Efficacy and Safety Endpoints Out to Two Years
Date:10/13/2008

I and SPIRIT III trials demonstrated the following key results for XIENCE V at two years:

-- A clinically significant 31 percent reduction in the risk of ischemia-driven Target Vessel Failure (TVF, cardiac events related to the treated vessel) compared to TAXUS (10.4 percent for XIENCE V vs. 14.7 percent for TAXUS, p-value=0.03)*. TVF is a composite clinical measure of safety and efficacy outcomes defined as cardiac death, heart attack (myocardial infarction or MI) or target vessel revascularization (TVR).

-- A clinically significant 45 percent reduction in the risk of ischemia-driven major adverse cardiac events (MACE) compared to TAXUS (7.1 percent for XIENCE V vs. 12.3 percent for TAXUS, p-value=0.001). MACE is an important composite clinical measure of safety and efficacy outcomes for patients, defined as cardiac death, heart attack (myocardial infarction or MI), or ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization (TLR driven by lack of blood supply).

-- An observed 28 percent reduction in the risk of all-cause death compared to TAXUS (2.4 percent for XIENCE V vs. 3.3 percent for TAXUS, p-value=0.36)*.

-- An observed 28 percent reduction in the risk of cardiac death compared to TAXUS (0.9 percent for XIENCE V vs. 1.3 percent for TAXUS, p-value=0.56)*.

-- A clinically significant 45 percent reduction in the risk of heart attack (MI) compared to TAXUS (3.1 percent for XIENCE V vs. 5.6 percent for TAXUS, p-value=0.03)*.

-- A clinically significant 39 percent reduction in the risk of all-cause death or heart attack (MI) compared to TAXUS (5.1 percent for XIENCE V vs. 8.3 percent for TAXUS, p-value=0.03)*.

-- A clinically significant 41 percent reduction in the risk of cardiac death or heart attack (MI) compared to TAXUS (3.8 percent for XIENCE V vs. 6.3 percent for TAXUS, p-value=0.04)*.

-- A clinically significant 41 percent reduction in the risk of ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization (ID-TLR) compa
