Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • The patient has a planned intervention of a single lesion in one or two separate major epicardial territories. Each lesion/vessel must meet the following criteria:
  • De novo
  • The target lesion reference site must be visually estimated to be > 2.5 mm and < 3.5 mm in diameter.
  • The target vessel must be a major coronary artery or major branch with a visually estimated stenosis of > 50% and <100%.
  • The visually estimated target lesion must be able to be covered by a single, 14, 18 or 28mm stent Elixir Stent or a single 14, 18, 24 or 30mm Endeavor Stent. Note that the 8mm Endeavor Stent will not be used in this study.
  • Maximum lesion length is 24 mm.
  • > TIMI 1 coronary flow.

Who cannot join

  • The patient has a known hypersensitivity or contraindication to aspirin, heparin, ticlopidine, clopidogrel, mTOR inhibitor class drugs, cobalt chromium alloy, methacrylate or polylactide polymer, or sensitivity to contrast which cannot be adequately premedicated.
  • There will be an untreated significant lesion of > 40% diameter stenosis remaining proximal or distal to the target site after the planned intervention.
  • Total occlusion or TIMI 0 coronary flow in the target vessel.
  • Restenosis lesion
  • The proximal target vessel or target lesion is severely calcified by visual assessment.
  • Aorto-ostial location, unprotected left main lesion location, or a lesion within 5 mm of the origin of the LAD or LCX.
Show all 15Show fewer
  • Lesion involvement of a significant side branch (branch diameter > 2 mm) that would be covered by stenting.
  • The patient has suffered a myocardial infarction with total creatine kinase (CK) >2 times normal within the past 72 hours (exactly three days).
  • The patient has a history of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy or will refuse blood transfusions.
  • The patient suffered a stroke, transient ischemic neurological attack (TIA) or significant gastrointestinal (GI) bleed within the past six months.
  • The patient has renal insufficiency as determined by a creatinine of > 2.0mg/dl.
  • The target lesion, or the target vessel proximal to the target lesion, contains thrombus.
  • Documented left ventricular ejection fraction of < 25%.
  • The patient is a recipient of a heart transplant.
  • The patient has extensive peripheral vascular disease that precludes safe 6 French sheath insertion or extreme anti-coagulation.

About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Single Blind, Consecutive Enrollment Evaluation of the Elixir Novolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System With Durable Polymer Compared to the Medtronic Endeavor Zotarolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System in the Treatment Of Patients With De Novo Native Coronary Artery Lesions And A Randomized, Consecutive Enrollment Evaluation of the Elixir Novolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System With Bioabsorbable Polymer Compared to the Medtronic Endeavor Zotarolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System in the Treatment Of Patients With De Novo Native Coronary Artery Lesions

Randomized Study To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Elixir Medical DESyne Novolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System with Durable Polymer through the assessment of clinical, angiographic and IVUS endpoints as compared to the concurrently enrolled Medtronic Zotarolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System in a randomized, single blind study of up to 200 male and female patients. In a Continued Access Registry of up to 100 patients receiving the DESyne Stent clinical-only endpoints will be evaluated.

To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Elixir Novolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System with bioabsorbable polymer as compared to the Medtronic Endeavor Zotarolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System control through clinical and angiographic endpoints.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Medtronic Endeavor Coronary Stent System, DESyne BD Novolimus Stent System and DESyne Novolimus Stent System in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Elixir Medical Corporation at 8 sites in 8 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 7 inclusion and 15 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 8 Apr 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Germany, Netherlands and 3 more countries. 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?

In-stent late lumen loss assessed by QCA (time frame: 9 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 NCT00792753, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 8 Apr 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
