Coronary StenosisPhase 2NCT00176397

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) With Drug-Eluting Stents (DES) Versus Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) for Patients With Significant Left Main Stenosis

A Phase 2 study testing Percutaneous coronary intervention (left main) in people with Coronary Stenosis and Coronary Artery Disease, run by University of Leipzig at 1 site in Germany.

Unknown status

Status not confirmed. The sponsor has not verified this record for over two years, so it may be out of date.

About this study

Official title: PCI With DES Versus CABG for Patients With Significant Left Main Stenosis

Recent technical advances in percutaneous coronary interventions have made it possible to approach patients with coronary lesions formerly considered to be classical candidates for bypass surgery, e.g. patients with left main coronary stenosis. However, it is still unclear whether the good long-term results achieved with the surgical therapy can be reproduced by an interventional strategy using drug-eluting stents (DES).

The aim of the current trial is, therefore, to compare the clinical and angiographic results of PCI and CABG in patients with left main coronary stenosis.

Recent technical advances in percutaneous coronary interventions have made it possible to approach patients with coronary lesions formerly considered to be classical candidates for bypass surgery, e.g. patients with left main coronary stenosis. However, it is still unclear whether the good long-term results achieved with the surgical therapy can be reproduced by an interventional strategy using drug-eluting stents (DES).

The aim of the current trial is, therefore, to compare the clinical and angiographic results of PCI and CABG in patients with left main coronary stenosis.

The study was planned as a "non-inferiority" trial based on the hypothesis that PCI may be able to reach similar long-term results as compared to CABG.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Percutaneous coronary intervention (left main) in people with Coronary Stenosis and Coronary Artery Disease, run by University of Leipzig at 1 site in Germany.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Sep 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Enno Boudriot, MD (+49-341-865 ext. 1428, boue@medizin.uni-leipzig.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Major adverse coronary events (cardiac death, myocardial infarction, need for repeat revascularisation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Sep 2007.
