Who may be able to join

  • In-stent restenosis.
  • Malignancies or other comorbid conditions with life expectancy less than one year or that may result in protocol non-compliance.

About this study

Official title: Prospective Randomized Trial of Everolimus- and Zotarolimus-eluting Stents for Treatment of Unprotected Left Main Coronary Artery Disease: ISAR-LEFT-MAIN-2

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of two different drug-eluting stents (Everolimus and Zotarolimus-eluting) for treatment of unprotected left main coronary artery disease.

Read the detailed description

Restenosis in the left main coronary artery may have severe consequences given the large proportion of the myocardium compromised in this condition, and, in several studies, it has been linked to the 6-month mortality after the index procedure. Drug-eluting stents have reduced the restenosis rate and the need for target vessel revascularization not only in simple lesion but also in high risk subsets of patients and lesions such as diabetics, long lesions or bifurcations. There are no data about their efficacy in left main coronary artery disease. Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate the performance of two different drug-eluting stents (Everolimus and Zotarolimus-eluting) in left main coronary lesions.

Being tested
Everolimus-eluting stent (Xience), Zotarolimus-eluting stent (Endeavor Resolute)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Everolimus-eluting stent (Xience) and Zotarolimus-eluting stent (Endeavor Resolute) in people with Coronary Disease, run by Deutsches Herzzentrum Muenchen at 4 sites in 2 countries.

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 3 inclusion and 10 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 Jul 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Germany, 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?

Incidence of major adverse cardiac event defined as a composite of death, myocardial infarction and target lesion revascularization. (time frame: 1 year follow-up). 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 NCT00598637, which also lists 4 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 Jul 2013.
