About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Efficacy and Safety of Zotarolimus-Eluting Stent Versus Sirolimus-Eluting Stent Versus PacliTaxel-Eluting Stent for Acute Myocardial Infarction Patients

The trial has the following primary objective:

To compare the safety and effectiveness of primary acute MI intervention with ABT 578-eluting balloon expandable stent (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN) vs. sirolimus-eluting balloon expandable stent (Cordis Johnson \& Johnson, Warren, New Jersey) vs. paclitaxel-eluting stent (Taxus Liberte, Boston Scientific).

Read the detailed description

Previous studies have documented that a slow-release polymeric sirolimus-eluting stent (Cypher, Cordis) and paclitaxel-eluting stent (Taxus, Boston Scientific) reduce neointimal formation and result in decrease of angiographic restenosis and target lesion revascularization at 1-3 years in the multicenter randomized clinical trials RAVEL, SIRIUS, and TAXUS I-VI. From these studies, the two leading drug-eluting stents (DESs) of the Cypher and Taxus have been widely and rapidly accepted as a standard treatment of coronary lesions.

Recently, randomized studies were conducted to reveal different outcomes of the different two DESs. These studies showed that the sirolimus-eluting stent was better than the paclitaxel-eluting stent in terms of lower angiographic restenosis rate or the two DESs were similar in angiographic outcomes. A recent meta-analysis supported results of the former randomized studies. Patients receiving sirolimus-eluting stent had a significantly lower risk of restenosis and target vessel revascularization compared with those receiving paclitaxel-eluting stent.

With a recent approval of new DES, ABT-578-eluting stent (Endeavor, Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN), other comparison studies have been conducted to compare Endeavor ABT-578-eluting stent with the sirolimus-eluting stent and paclitaxel-eluting stent. The ENDEAVOR clinical trials are currently in progress to evaluate a phosphoryl choline (PC)-coated ABT-578-eluting stent for the prevention of restenosis. Angiographic analysis at 4 months in the 100-patient focal de novo lesion ENDEAVOR I feasibility study demonstrated a mean in-stent percent diameter stenosis of approximately 14% and a late lumen loss of 0.3 mm with a low frequency of target lesion revascularization (1%). The clinical outcomes from the ENDEAVOR II (1,197 patients randomized to ABT-578 or bare metal stent) showed superior efficacy of the PC-coated ABT-578-eluting stent than bare-metal stent.

In patients with acute myocardial infraction (MI), routine stent implantation has been shown to have a better procedural success rate and clinical outcome than balloon angioplasty [11]. However, restenosis and vessel reocclusion remain major challenges limiting the long-term success of percutaneous treatment.

In a clinical study of 400 patients with stent implantation in acute MI, angiographic restenosis occurred in 31%, considerably more than expected for patients with stable coronary disease. There is very little information available as to the efficacy and long-term safety of DES in acute MI. The results from the several registry and randomized trials (Cypher-AMI, Typhoon, PASSION) demonstrated the short-term or long-term safety and efficacy of DES compared to BMS.

The incomplete evidence to date is that implantation of SES in patients with Acute MI is safe and effective more than BMS and results of implantation of PES are at variance with the results of the BMS. However, up to date, there are randomized trials to compare the efficacy and safety among commonly used DES (zotarolimus- vs. sirolimus- vs. paclitaxel-eluting stents) for the treatment of acute MI patients. The results of large randomized trials and larger registries will allow us to make evidence-based decisions about which stent to use in patients with acute MI. Therefore, we designed a randomized, controlled, partially blinded trial comparing the safety and efficacy of the zotarolimus vs. sirolimus vs. paclitaxel stents in acute MI patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The composite of death (all cause-mortality), MI (Q wave and non Q wave) and ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization.

  1. All-cause Death

    Measured: 1 month, 6 month, 1 year and thereafter annaully up to 5 years

  4. Target vessel revascularization (all and ischemia-driven)

    Measured: 1 month, 6 month, 1 year and thereafter annaully up to 5 years

  5. Target lesion revascularization (all and ischemia-driven)

    Measured: 1 month, 6 month, 1 year and thereafter annaully up to 5 years

  6. Stent thrombosis for the patients

    Measured: 1 month, 6 month, 1 year and thereafter annaully up to 5 years

  7. Late luminal loss in both in-stent and in-segment

    Measured: at 8 month angiographic follow-up

  8. Binary restenosis in both in-stent and in-segment

    Measured: at 8 month angiographic follow-up

  9. Procedural success defined as achievement of a final diameter stenosis of <30% by QCA using any percutaneous method, without the occurrence of death, Q wave MI, or repeat revascularization of the target lesion

    Measured: during the hospital stay

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 5 inclusion and 19 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Dec 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in South Korea. 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 was stopped early (reason given: The recruitment rate was much slower than expected.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

The composite of death (all cause-mortality), MI (Q wave and non Q wave) and ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization. (time frame: At 12 months after the index procedure). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 7 Dec 2022.
