  1. ACTIONACoronary disease Trial Investigating Outcome with Nifedipine GITS(gastrointestinal therapeutic system) presented by Philip A Poole-Wilsonon behalf of the ACTION investigators

  2. ACTION: rationale • Nifedipine GITS is widely used to treat angina and hypertension • Debate circa 1995 on safety based on: • Data from unapproved indications • Observational studies • Meta-analyses (Furberg, 1995) • Short-acting formulations of nifedipine possibly harmful • No evidence from outcome trials in patients with stable angina

  3. ACTION: features • First-ever placebo-controlled clinical out-come trial in symptomatic stable angina • Long-acting nifedipine (GITS) • Investigator initiated and designed • Independent Steering Committee and study management (SOCAR Research) • Multi-centre (291 centres, 19 countries) • 7665 patients, mean f-up 4.9 years • Supported by Bayer HealthCare AG

  4. ACTION: primary objective Effect of: addition of 60 mg once-daily long-acting nifedipine GITS to the basic regimen ( blockers, nitrates, lipid lowering…) On: cardiovascular event-free survival In: patients with stable symptomatic coro-nary disease (angina pectoris)

  5. ACTION: primary endpoints For efficacy: combined rate of • Death (any cause) • MI (acute or procedural) • Refractory angina  angiography • New overt HF  hospitalisation • Disabling stroke • Peripheral revascularisation (cardiovascular event-free survival) For safety: combined rate of • Death, MI, disabling stroke

  6. ACTION: patient selection Stable symptomatic angina treated with: •  blockers, nitrates, etc • Lipid / blood pressure as indicated And one of the following: • History of myocardial infarction • Angiographic CAD (known abnormal angiogram, history of PTCA or CABG) • Positive exercise or radionuclide test • No history of myocardial infarction • Coronary angiography never done

  7. ACTION: exclusions • Less than 35 years of age • Clinical heart failure (HF) • EF less than 40% (2D-echo) • Valve disease • Abnormal kidney or liver function • On a CCB, digitalis for HF, class I + III anti-arrhythmic (sotalol / amiodarone allowed) • Gastrointestinal problem (absorption / passage of GITS tablet)

  8. ACTION: power calculation Sample size estimation: • Based on simvastatin arm of 4S • Assumed rate of primary endpoint for efficacy: 5.6 /100 patient-years • 30,000 patient-years planned: 80% power for 14% of primary endpoint • Exclude 3.1 excess deaths per 1000 patient-years • 37,867 patient-years realised Interim analyses to protect patient safety

  9. ACTION: design • Washout of incompatible medication • Baseline assessments • Randomised, double-blind addition of once daily Nifedipine GITS (30  60 mg) or placebo • Follow-up 4½ - 6 years • Patient contacted every three months • Out-patient clinic visit every six months
