About this study

Official title: A Japanese Prospective, Randomized, Multi-center Trial Comparing the TAXUS Stent and the CYPHER Stent in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease Eligible for PCI.

To evaluate the procedural, short and long term clinical outcomes of the TAXUS stent compared to Cypher stent in coronary arteries of ≥ 2.5 and ≤ 3.75 mm in the reference vessel diameter with a lesion of ≤ 46 mm (by visual observation) in routine clinical settings in Japan.

Read the detailed description

In these days, meta-analyses have been conducted in large scale and small scale studies, but there has been no conclusion yet stating which one of the stents, either Cypher stent or TAXUS stent, is superior to the other. In specific disease condition such as in diabetic patients, it has been reported that Paclitaxel (TAXUS stent) is more suitable than Sirolimus (Cypher stent), due to the difference in the action mechanisms of the drugs. Since TAXUS stent was recently approved in Japan, we decided to conduct a randomized multi-center comparative study to compare Cypher stent and TAXUS stent regarding the clinical endpoint (target vessel failure for 8 months). The study is powered to show equivalence between the 2 stents in all patients, and to show superiority of the TAXUS stent in the diabetic patient population. In addition, for selected patients, quantitative coronary angiography, intravascular ultrasound, optical coherence tomography, and angioscopy are performed to examine the difference of the two stents more closely.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing TAXUS stent and Cypher stent in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Associations for Establishment of Evidence in Interventions at 122 sites in Japan.

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 8 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Nov 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 122 sites in Japan. 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 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?

Target Vessel Failure (TVF) at 8 months post-procedure(assessed prior to routine angiography) in Overall study population (time frame: 8 months). 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 5 Nov 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 3 Nov 2026.
