Abstract
The Onyx ONE Global Study (Onyx ONE), a randomized, single-blind, international trial, demonstrated non-inferiority of a zotarolimus-eluting stent (ZES) to a polymer-free drug-coated stent (DCS) in high-bleeding risk patients treated with 1-month dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) followed by single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT). More than half of the Onyx ONE patients presented with an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The safety and effectiveness of ZES and DCS in ACS patients treated with SAPT after 30 days remains unknown.
To evaluate the safety and effectiveness outcomes for ZES and DCS in Onyx ONE patients presenting with ACS.
The primary outcome of the trial was a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, or stent thrombosis at 1 year. To align with the time that DAPT is interrupted, we also evaluated the primary endpoint between the 2 stent groups in a landmark analysis between 30 days and 1 year. All analyses were performed in ACS patients (includes unstable angina, non ST-elevation myocardial infarction and ST-elevation myocardial infarction).
Among the 1996 patients randomized in Onyx ONE, 982/1902 (51.6%) presented with ACS, of which 511/982 (52.0%) and 471/982 (48.0%) were treated with ZES and DCS respectively. In a pre-defined subgroup analysis in ACS patients, the event rates between the two stent groups regarding the primary outcome at one year were similar (18.5% ZES; 20.8% DCS; HR: 0.91; 95% CI [0.68, 1.22]; p=0.523). In the landmark analysis beyond day 30, the primary outcome rate tended to be lower among those treated with the ZES (8.4%) compared with the DCS (12.1%) [HR: 0.66 (95% CI: 0.43, 1.01), p=0.055] (Figure). This was primarily driven by lower rates of myocardial infarction with ZES (6.5% ZES; 10.2% DCS; [HR: 0.58 (95% CI: 0.36, 0.93); p=0.025], while other components were similar: cardiac death, 2.6% ZES vs. 2.8% DCS [HR: 1.00 (95% CI: 0.44, 2.27); p>0.99) and stent thrombosis, 1.4% ZES vs. 1.4% DCS [HR: 0.93 (95% CI: 0.27, 3.21); p=0.91].
In Onyx ONE, high-bleeding risk patients presenting with ACS had similar safety and efficacy at 1 year in both the ZES and DCS stent groups. However, a trend was present for greater safety with the ZES with SAPT treatment beyond 30 days driven by lower myocardial infarction rates in that time period thus warranting additional confirmatory studies.
