About this study

Official title: PaclitAxel or Sirolimus-Eluting Stent vs Bare Metal Stent in Primary Angioplasty (PASEO) Randomized Trial

Stent implantation is the best treatment in patients with acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) referred for primary angioplasty (pPCI). However the occurrence of in stent restenosis is responsible for the need of repeat intervention. Both Sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) and Paclitaxel-eluting stents (PES) have been proven to virtually abolish in-stent restenosis in elective patients in simple e more complex lesions. Both SES and PES have raised concerns regarding occurrence of late stent thrombosis, especially in complex lesion subsets or in high risk patients. The PaclitAxel or Sirolimus-Eluting Stent vs Bare Metal Stent in primary angioplasty (PASEO) trial was a prospective, single-center, randomized trial evaluating the benefits of SES or PES as compared to BMS implantation in patients undergoing primary angioplasty for acute STEMI. From 1 October 2003 we randomized with 1:1:1 ratio, 270 patients with STEMI and treated with pPCI, to implantation of a bare metal stent (BMS n=90), PES (n=90) or SES (n=90).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Drug Eluting Stent (DES)Device

    Also called Primary Angioplasty, Cypher, Taxus

    Open-label randomization was performed after initial angiography by the treating physician when eligibility criteria were met. All patients received in the CCU 70U/Kg i.v. bolus of UFH plus 1000U/h infusion (to maintain an ACT of at least 200 seconds), aspirin intravenously (500 mg) and clopidogrel (300 mg loading dose). All patients received upstream Gp IIb-IIIa inhibitors administration as a routine adjunctive therapy before primary PCI. Postinterventional antiplatelet therapy for all patients included in the three study group, consisted of aspirin (100 mg) indefinitely and clopidogrel (75 mg for six months). Stenting procedures were performed according to standard techniques. The number and length of stents, and the type of BMS to be implanted, were left to the operator's discretion. The operator was allowed to implant DES to cover the entire length of the lesion with coverage of the entire stented segment and of 5 mm proximal and distal segments.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The primary end point was target lesion revascularization (TLR) at 1-year follow-up

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Cumulative combined incidence of death and/or reinfarction at 2 year; Cumulative incidence of in-stent thrombosis at 2 year; 3) Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE) (combined death and/or reinfarction and/or TLR) at 2 years

    Measured: 2 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Drug Eluting Stent (DES) in people with Acute Myocardial Infarction, run by San Giuseppe Moscati Hospital at 1 site in Italy.

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 1 inclusion and 11 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 25 Sep 2008. 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 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

The primary end point was target lesion revascularization (TLR) at 1-year follow-up (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT00759850, 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 25 Sep 2008.
