Summary
In stable patients with a history of atherosclerosis, the investigational protease-activated receptor (PAR)-1 antagonist vorapaxar was effective at reducing further atherothrombotic events. This article presents data from the Thrombin Receptor Antagonist in Secondary Prevention-TIMI 50 Trial [TRA 2P; NCT00526474] which showed that vorapaxar significantly reduced the risk of deaths from cardiovascular disease, myocardial infarction, or stroke compared with placebo.
