About this study

Official title: Randomized Clinical Comparison of Cypher Select and Taxus Express Stent Implantation in Unselected Patients With Coronary Artery Disease.

Randomized nine months clinical comparison of implantation of Taxol eluting (Taxus Express) and Sirolimus eluting (Cypher Select) stents in non-selected patients with coronary artery disease.

Read the detailed description

Design:

  • Randomized open multicentre trial.

Patients:

  • 1800 patients with coronary artery disease scheduled for percutaneous coronary intervention with stent implantation.

Inclusion criteria:

  • Patients with coronary artery disease scheduled for percutaneous coronary intervention with stent implantation.
  • Signed informed consent.

Exclusion criteria:

  • Participation in other stent studies.

Randomization:

  • Implantation of Taxus Express og Cypher Select stents.

Primary end-point:

  • Combined end-point of cardiac death, new revascularization (PCI or CABG) or myocardial infarction after nine months.

Secondary end-points:

  • Total death after nine months
  • Cardiac death after nine months
  • Myocardial infarction after nine months
  • Index vessel myocardial infarction after nine months
  • Target lesion revascularization
  • Target vessel revascularization
  • Stent thrombosis after nine months

End-point evaluation:

  • End-points will be adjudicated by an independent end-point committee

  2. Cardiac death

    Measured: after 9 months, 2 and 3 years

  3. Myocardial infarction

    Measured: after 9 months, 2 and 3 years

  4. Target vessel revascularisation, target lesion revascularisation, TVF

    Measured: after 9 months, 2 and 3 years

  5. Stent thrombosis

    Measured: after 9 months, 2 and 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Drug eluting stent in people with Coronary Artery Disease and Angina Pectoris, run by Aarhus University Hospital Skejby.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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 30 Jul 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

MACE (cardiac death, myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularisation, target lesion revascularisation, TVF) (time frame: during 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 NCT00388934, 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 30 Jul 2013.
