Positive Aggrastat Results Featured in the Journal of the American,College of Cardiology

Protocol for New Aggrastat Study in American Heart Journal


WINNIPEG, Manitoba - (July 11, 2007) Medicure Inc. (TSX:MPH; Amex:MCU), a cardiovascular focused, biopharmaceutical company, today announced that the two-year, follow-up results from the STRATEGY (Single High-Dose Bolus Tirofiban and Sirolimus-Eluting Stent Versus Abciximab and Bare Metal Stent In Acute Myocardial Infarction) study were published in the July edition of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC).


The article, titled, "Two-Year Clinical Follow-Up After Sirolimus-Eluting Versus Bare-Metal Stent Implantation Assisted by Systematic Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Inhibitor Infusion in Patients With Myocardial Infarction", outlines the potential benefit of AGGRASTATR (tirofiban hydrochloride) plus sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) versus ReoproR (abciximab) plus bare-metal stent (BMS) in the prevention of the cumulative incidence of death, myocardial infarction (MI), or target vessel revascularization (TVR) in acute myocardial infarction patients after two years.


At two years, the cumulative incidence of death, MI, or TVR was lower in the AGGRASTATR-SES group compared with the ReoproR-BMS group (24.2% vs. 38.6%, p@038). This statistically significant outcome at two years is similar to the previously reported eight month results that were published in The Journal of the American Medical Association (May 2005).


The positive results from STRATEGY were the impetus for an ongoing larger factorial design study titled MULTI-STRATEGY (Multicentre Evaluation of Single High-Dose Bolus Tirofiban Versus Abciximab and Sirolimus-Eluting Stent Versus Base Metal Stent in Acute Myocardial Infarction). The MULTI-STRATEGY protocol was published in the July edition of the American Heart Journal.


This 600-patient study will further assess AGGRASTATR-S
