New Large-Scale, Global Study Provides Additional Information About an Intensified Dose-Regimen of PLAVIX(R) in Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients Undergoing Angioplasty
Date:8/29/2009

PARIS, and PRINCETON, N.J., Aug. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the OASIS study group will present initial results of the CURRENT-OASIS 7 clinical trial at the European Society of Cardiology congress in Barcelona. Sanofi-aventis (EURONEXT: SAN, and NYSE: SNY) and Bristol-Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY), co-commercialization and co-development partners for PLAVIX((R)) (clopidogrel bisulfate), were sponsors of the study.

The primary end-point (cardiovascular death, heart attack, or stroke at thirty days) for the entire study population (including subpopulations of patients that underwent PCI (70%) or not (30%) examining the difference between the high-dose and standard-dose PLAVIX((R)) (clopidogrel bisulfate) regimens did not reach statistical significance (4.2% vs. 4.4%, HR 0.95, p=0.37).
