About this study
Official title: SPIRIT First: A Clinical Evaluation of an Investigational Device. The Abbott XIENCE V® Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System in the Treatment of Patients With de Novo Native Coronary Artery Lesions
Prospective, randomized, controlled, single-blinded, parallel two-arm, multicenter trial.
Test arm: XIENCE V® Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System(stent length: 18mm, diameter: 3.0mm) Control arm: Metallic stent (MULTI-LINK VISION® metallic stent(stent length: 18mm, diameter: 3.0mm) Follow-up angiographic imaging and intra vascular ultra sound (IVUS) at 180 days and 1 year
Read the detailed description
The SPIRIT FIRST clinical trial will enroll approximately 60 patients and will assess the feasibility and performance of the XIENCE V® Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System in the treatment of patients with de novo native coronary artery lesions. In this trial, the XIENCE V® Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System will be compared to the MULTI-LINK VISION® metallic stent which is CE marked and FDA approved and is available for commercial use in Europe and in the United States. The SPIRIT FIRST Clinical trial will enroll approximately 60 patients (30 patients in the test arm and 30 patients in the control arm) with de novo native coronary artery lesions in 4 clinical sites in The Netherlands and Germany

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Coronary artery drug eluting stent placement and Coronary artery stent placement in people with Coronary Artery Disease and Everolimus, run by Abbott Medical Devices at 7 sites in 3 countries.
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 11 inclusion and 36 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jan 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 7 sites in Germany, Netherlands, Denmark. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
In-stent late loss (time frame: at 180 days post procedure). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00180453, which also lists 6 linked publications.
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 6 Jan 2010.
