Trial summary

About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Nonrandomized, Historical Controlled Study In Patients With De Novo Coronary Artery Lesions In Small VessELs Treated With The CYPHER™ STEnt

The main objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of the CYPHER™ (sirolimus-eluting) stent in reducing in-lesion late lumen loss in de novo native coronary artery lesions in small vessels (2.25 - 2.75 mm) as compared to the small vessel tercile of the uncoated Bx VELOCITYTM Stent patients from the SIRIUS Trial, using a stenting technique that minimizes balloon trauma to the vessel and assures full coverage of the lesion with the stent.

Read the detailed description

This is an international, multicenter (up to 10 sites), nonrandomized, historically controlled study in patients with De Novo coronary artery lesions in small vessels treated with the CYPHER™ (sirolimus-eluting) stent as compared to the small vessel tercile uncoated Bx VELOCITYTM Stent patients from the SIRIUS Trial. A total of up to 100 patients will be enrolled in this study.

Patients with de novo native coronary artery lesions >=15mm and <=30mm in length and >=2.25 mm to <=2.75 mm in diameter by visual estimation will be treated with the CYPHER™ (sirolimus-eluting) stent. Patients will be followed at 30 days, 6, 8, 9 months and at 1, 2 and 3 years post-procedure, with a repeat angiography at 8 months. In all patients Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) will be performed before (only in case of crossing success) and after the initial procedure. An IVUS control will also be done at 8 months follow up to assess neo-intimal growth and remodeling.

This is a single lesion treatment study. Patients may have other lesions treated before the treatment of the intended lesion in the small vessel (a non-target lesion may not be located in the target vessel!). Post-procedural treatment of another lesion is only allowed after the 30-day follow-up contact has been completed or in case this is clinically needed.

It is anticipated that the total length of the study will be 39 months: 3 months to complete patient enrollment and 3 years for follow-up.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing PCI in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Cordis US Corp. at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 4 inclusion and 9 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 16 Sep 2008. 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 Switzerland. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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-lesion late lumen loss (time frame: 8-moths 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 NCT00235066, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 16 Sep 2008.
