Trial summary

Context: Sirolimus-eluting-stents have improved the benefits of percutaneous interventions in native coronary arteries reducing the occurrence of restenosis and repeated revascularization, however saphenous vein grafts have been always excluded form randomized trials. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase 2 Randomized Double-Blind Comparison of Sirolimus-Eluting Stent Versus Bare-Metal Stent Implantation in Degenerated Saphenous Vein Grafts

Context: Sirolimus-eluting-stents have improved the benefits of percutaneous interventions in native coronary arteries reducing the occurrence of restenosis and repeated revascularization, however saphenous vein grafts have been always excluded form randomized trials.

Objective: To evaluate the angiographic and clinical impact of sirolimus-eluting-stents with respect to bare-metal-stents in degenerated vein grafts.

Design: Double-blind randomized controlled non-industry-sponsored trial.

Setting: A single-center tertiary-care referral hospital.

Patients: All patients are randomly allocated to sirolimus-eluting-stent implantation or the corresponding bare-metal-stent. All patients are followed clinically and repeated angiographic follow-up is performed in all at 6-months.

Main outcome measure: Primary end-point is 6-months angiographic in-stent late loss. Secondary end-points include: binary angiographic in-stent and in-segment restenosis, intravascular-ultrasound-measured neo-intimal hyperplasia volume and all the clinical events (death, myocardial infarction, target-lesion and target-vessel revascularization).

Being tested
sirolimus-eluting stent, bare metal stent
Medical subject headings

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing sirolimus-eluting stent and bare metal stent in people with Stable Angina and Unstable Angina, run by Antwerp Cardiovascular Institute Middelheim at 1 site in Belgium.

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 10 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 14 Mar 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 Belgium. 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?

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. 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 NCT00263263, which also lists 2 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 14 Mar 2007.
