ASPREE Results Support FDA Aspirin Label Guidance On Cardiovascular Disease

Data from ASPREE trial with more than 19,000 subjects show five-year-use of low-dose aspirin did not prolong disability-free survival and is associated with a significantly higher rate of hemorrhage and somewhat higher rate of all-cause mortality. Findings in three reports in NEJM track with US FDA's guidance that OTC aspirin marketers include a statement referring to doctors when aspirin package labels include a heart or other image suggesting a CV indication.
