A Study to Assess Enteric-Coated Acetylsalicylic Acid in Patients at Moderate Risk of Cardiovascular Disease - Full Text View

Purpose

The use of acetylsalicylic acid in the primary prevention of cardiovascular events has been extensively studied. However, the overall risk level of the study populations was low (< 10% 10-year). The current study is designed to demonstrate the efficacy and tolerability of 100 mg enteric-coated Aspirin versus placebo in the prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events, which include fatal and nonfatal myocardial infarction, fatal and nonfatal stroke and CV death, in a population with no history of known CVD who are at moderate risk (20-30% 10-year) of cardiovascular disease. Subjects are treated in a standard care setting and may receive treatment of the underlying risk factors as defined by the treating physician. Outcome events will be adjudicated by an Endpoint Adjudication Committee and the study will be monitored by an independent Data Safety Monitoring Board.
