Trial summary

Revascularisation procedures such as percutaneous coronary intervention are associated with overall worse outcomes in patients with diabetes mellitus. Implantation of coronary stents is associated with higher restenosis rates compared to non-diabetic individuals. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Randomized, Multicenter Comparison of the Drug-Eluting Stent Systems YUKON Choice and TAXUS Liberté in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus

Revascularisation procedures such as percutaneous coronary intervention are associated with overall worse outcomes in patients with diabetes mellitus. Implantation of coronary stents is associated with higher restenosis rates compared to non-diabetic individuals.

There is only limited data available on the efficacy and safety of the novel Yukon Choice drug-eluting stent system specifically in patients with diabetes mellitus. The trial will determine the efficacy and safety of the novel Yukon Choice stent system compared to the well established Taxus Liberté stent system. The primary endpoint will be "in-stent late lumen loss" at 9 months as determined by invasive angiography.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Yukon Choice stent system and Taxus Liberté stent system in people with Coronary Arteriosclerosis, 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 8 inclusion and 12 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 2 Feb 2010. 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 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-stent late lumen loss" at follow-up-angiography (9 months) (time frame: 9 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 NCT00368953, 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 2 Feb 2010.
