Finding the Path Through DES Trials is Becoming Increasingly Difficult

• Global medical community recognizes RCTs as highest level of evidence– ACC/AHA/ESC ‘Level A Evidence’

• Both RCTs and non-RCTs have purpose– RCT: balanced comparison of ≥2 therapies

• Limit: Restrictive inclusion criteria may apply– Registry: outcomes of therapy in ‘real world’ practice

• Limit: biases preclude accurate comparisons, despite propensity scores, adjustment; follow-up often less precise, especially in subgroups

• Rapid increase in single- and multi-center observational registries outnumbering RCTs– Probability alone enables variable and unexpected

results

The CYPHER® Stent Clinical Trials Program: A Higher Level of Evidence

• Most extensive (>45,000 pts) “real-world” clinical trial experience to support the safety, efficacy and durability of its use across a broad spectrum of patient and lesion types

– Unmatched compliance in 4-year follow-up of pivotal RCTs (94% to 98% in CYPHER® Stent vs. BMS RCTs through ≥4 years)

– Longest duration of follow-up (5 years) of any DES program

• Individual randomized, clinical trials (RCTs) and systematic overview of RCTs support the efficacy benefit and comparable safety of CYPHER® Stent vs. BMS, vs. other DES

– Cordis presentations of meta-analyses are limited to the highest level of evidence (i.e., ACC/AHA/ESC Level 1A Evidence)

• Extensive evaluation in broad range of patients further shows consistency in efficacy and safety results

Cordis Clinical and Advanced Technology ProgramsLeveraging Expertise in Interventional Cardiology

• Clinical decision making regarding DES has become increasingly more reliant on availability of long-term outcomes data

• The CYPHER stent has demonstrated clinically meaningful, sustained benefit in reducing the need for repeat revascularizations in a wide array of clinical settings and lesion complexities

• Emerging evidence of differences in safety and efficacy between DES disprove notion of class effect

• Evolution of new DES technologies should ensure further improvement in patient safety and outcomes with potential for patient and lesion-specific DES (reservoir technology)

• Combination of new growth platforms, best in class product portfolio and developmental programs within Cordis intended to enable IC with most broadly based portfolio of cardiovascular solutions
