About this study

Official title: An Italian Multicenter, Randomized, Single Blind Study of the Sirolimus Eluting Stent in the Treatment Of Diabetic Patients With De Novo Coronary Artery Lesions

The main objective of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Sirolimus-eluting stent CYPHERTM and/or updated version in reducing angiographic in-stent late loss in de novo native coronary lesions of diabetic patients as compared to the bare metal Bx SONIC balloon-expandable stent.

The secondary objective is to assess cost-effectiveness expressed in incremental cost/life year gained or cost/quality adjusted life year gained at different time points (8 months, 1 year).

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter (11 centers), prospective, randomized single blind study. This study has a 2-arm design assessing the safety and effectiveness of the Sirolimus-eluting stent CYPHERTM and/or updated version to the bare metal Bx SONICTM stent. A total of 250 patients will be entered in the study and will be randomized on a 1:1 basis. Patients who meet the eligibility criteria will be either randomized to the Sirolimus-eluting stent or the bare metal Bx SONIC stent. The investigator cannot be blind because the outer appearance of the system for the implant of the Sirolimus-eluting stent differs from that of the bare metal stent and will therefore immediately be recognized by the surgeon. However the patient will not know which stent will be implanted. Patients will be followed at 30 days, 9 and 12 months post-procedure, with all patients undergoing repeat angiography at 8 months. Additionally, medical costs associated with the index hospitalization and length of stay, and repeat hospitalizations and costs associated with other relevant medical resource use during the 1 year follow-up period will be collected and analyzed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing CYPHER Sirolimus-eluting stent and Bx SONIC bare metal stent in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Cordis US Corp. at 1 site in Italy.

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 13 inclusion and 21 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 4 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 Italy. 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 LL (time frame: 8-month post-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 4 Feb 2010.
