About this study

Official title: Intracoronary Brachytherapy for Recurrent Restenosis After Multiple Drug-Eluting Stents. Short Title: Scripps V

This study is a prospective study of patients treated at Scripps Clinic with intracoronary brachytherapy for recurrent restenosis within drug eluting stents.

Read the detailed description

This is an investigator-initiated protocol examining the effectiveness of intracoronary brachytherapy using the Novoste beta-emitting catheter for recurrent stenosis after treatment with multiple drug-eluting stents. While intracoronary brachytherapy has been used for this purpose by clinicians for some time, data supporting this clinical decision-making is lacking.

Currently, when cardiologists find restenosis after implanting a drug-eluting stent, they often place a stent that elutes a different drug within that stent. If a patient presents with restenosis in the segment that has already been treated with both sirolimus and paclitaxel-eluting stents, further options are limited. Intracoronary brachytherapy is often used in this scenario, but the efficacy of this approach has not been well studied. The investigators recently reviewed the clinical outcomes of five patients who underwent intracoronary radiation after drug-eluting stents. They discovered only one episode of target vessel revascularization and no episodes of stent thrombosis. While this sample is small, investigators believe that a prospective study will provide important information regarding this approach.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Intracoronary brachytherapy in people with Coronary Artery Disease and Coronary Restenosis, run by Scripps Health at 1 site in United States.

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 7 inclusion and 8 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 22 Oct 2020. 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 United States. 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?

To determine the safety and efficacy of intracoronary brachytherapy for the treatment of recurrent restenosis within drug-eluting stents. (time frame: 2 years). 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 22 Oct 2020.
