Terminated

Stopped early. The study ended before it was planned to and will not resume.

Trial summary

Angiographic evaluation for intermediate lesions is not always accurate. Fractional flow reserve-guided deferral strategy for these lesions showed the same event rate as routine intervention strategy. However, proper FFR criterion for these lesions in the era of drug-eluting stent is not known. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Deferral of Angioplasty According to Fractional Flow Reserve vs. Routine Drug-eluting Stent Implantation in Intermediate Coronary Stenosis

Angiographic evaluation for intermediate lesions is not always accurate. Fractional flow reserve-guided deferral strategy for these lesions showed the same event rate as routine intervention strategy. However, proper FFR criterion for these lesions in the era of drug-eluting stent is not known. This study sought to evaluate the clinical outcomes of intermediate lesions according to FFR and compare those of FFR-guided intervention with routine drug-eluting stent implantation strategy.

Being tested
Cypher, Taxus or Endeavor

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cypher, Taxus or Endeavor in people with Coronary Angiography and Drug-eluting Stents, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 21 Dec 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 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: due to slow enrollment). 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?

Clinical event: Cardiac death, myocardial infarction, target lesion revascularization (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 NCT00592228, 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 21 Dec 2010.
