The purpose of Global LEADERS is to compare:
Standard 12 months of DAPT following PCI (and subsequent maintenance [12 month]
antiplatelet therapy with ASA)
with
A new regimen involving 30 days of DAPT
with ASA + ticagrelor(and subsequent maintenance [23 month] therapy with ticagrelor)
In an all-comers population undergoing PCI
with unrestricted biolimus eluting stent (BES) use

Study Design Considerations
• Statistical Considerations– event rate estimated to be 5% at 2 years based on the biolimus
eluting stent (BES) arm in the LEADERS Trial, in order to detect a 22.5% relative risk reduction
– 8000 patients per treatment arm are required to obtain a power >90%
• Primary Outcome– study treatment strategy superior to reference treatment
strategy on cumulative 2 years composite of all cause mortality and new Q-wave MI
• Key Safety Secondary Endpoint – A composite of BARC 3 or BARC 5 bleeding up to 2 years

Global Leaders Vision1. Avoid the higher risk of bleeding potentially
associated with adding ASA (even low dose) to Ticagrelor
2. Maintain the clinical benefits of potent platelet inhibition after PCI, beyond the initial period of high stent thrombosis risk (30 days)
3. More potent antiplatelet therapy with Ticagrelor may be a better foundation for long term antiplatelet therapy compared to ASA in at-risk patients
4. May pave the way for future studies of Ticagrelor as a single foundation therapy
