Aventis Terminating Enrollment in EXPEDITION Study

Aventis Press Release


Strasbourg, France - Aventis has announced that enrollment
in its EXPEDITION study, a global trial evaluating Cariporide
in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients, has been
terminated on the recommendation of the study's
independent Study Steering Committee (SSC) and Data
Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB). Cariporide is the first in a
class of cardio-protectants that may protect myocardial cells
from ischemic damage.

The Phase III EXPEDITION study began last year. To date,
5,700 of a target 7,000 participants had enrolled. Aventis
will continue the study's six-month follow-up monitoring of
currently enrolled patients as specified in the study protocol,
and will initiate the detailed safety and efficacy analyses
requested by the DSMB to better understand the benefits
and risks associated with treatment.

The analyses are expected to be completed by early 2003.
Decisions regarding regulatory submissions related to
Cariporide will be made following the analyses of the follow
up data.<snip>
