About this study

Official title: YUKON-drug-eluting Stent Below The Knee - Prospective Randomized Double-blind Multicenter Study

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of the treatment with balloon-expandable YUKON-BTX-Sirolimus-eluting stent over the treatment with YUKON-BTX uncoated stent in patients with ischemic infrapopliteal arterial disease.

Read the detailed description

Based on the fact that drug eluting stents have been proven to reduce the restenosis rate in the coronary arteries, we assume that YUKON-BTX-Sirolimus-eluting stent has a superior restenosis rate compared to treatment with uncoated stent in the below-the-knee arteries consecutively. The purpose of this study is to compare the restenosis rate of the treatment with balloon-expandable YUKON-BTX-Sirolimus-eluting stent over the treatment with YUKON-BTX uncoated stent in patients with ischemic infrapopliteal arterial disease. Randomisation will be performed by extremity, that may lead to varying treatments within one patient during the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Implantation of YUKON Sirolimus-eluting Stent and Implantation of YUKON Stent (uncoated) in people with Arterial Occlusive Diseases, run by Herz-Zentrums Bad Krozingen at 3 sites in Germany.

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 3 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 17 Dec 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Germany. 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?

Restenosis rate after 12 months (> 50% stenosis by angiography or duplex ultrasound) (time frame: 12 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 NCT00664963, 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 17 Dec 2014.
