About this study

The objective of the Symbiot III Clinical Trial was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Symbiot Covered Stent System in the treatment of symptomatic ischemic saphenous vein bypass graft disease.

Read the detailed description

Symbiot III was a prospective, multi-center, randomized, controlled trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Symbiot stent compared to bare metal stents in the treatment of symptomatic ischemic saphenous vein graft disease. Randomization was stratified by the intended use of intravenous glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors and by the intended use of approved distal protection to ensure approximate balance between study treatments within each of the strata. The primary outcome variable for the study was target lesion percent diameter stenosis at 8 months post-implant.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Covered Stent System and Bare metal stent in people with Symptomatic Ischemic Saphenous Vein Graft Disease, run by Boston Scientific Corporation at 49 sites in 2 countries.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 2 Nov 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 49 sites in United States, Canada. 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.

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?

Percent diameter stenosis at 8 months post-implant (time frame: 8 Months). 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 NCT00283413, 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 2 Nov 2009; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
