About this study

Official title: Comparison of Bio-Active-Stent to the Everolimus-Eluting Stent in Acute Coronary Syndrome (A Prospective, Randomized and a Multicenter Clinical Study)

The purpose of the trial is to compare the safety and effectiveness of bio-active-stent (BAS) and everolimus-eluting stent (EES) in patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome.

Read the detailed description

The BASE-ACS trial is an academic study, which will be conceived and conducted as a multicenter (multi-country) study by experienced interventional cardiologists. This study is independent of commercial interests.

The purpose of the trial is to compare the safety and effectiveness of bio-active-stent (Titan-2®) and everolimus-eluting stent (Xience V®, Promus®) in patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome.

A total of 850 patients will be included in the randomized study. The primary end point (MACE) is the composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction and target lesion revascularization during 12 months of follow-up. Enrollment of patients will start in November 2008 and end in 2009.

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary end point (MACE) is the composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI) and target lesion revascularization (TLR) during 12 months of follow-up.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. All cause death, cardiac death, MI, stent thrombosis and TLR at 1, 6, 12 and 18 months, and at 2, 3, 4 and 5 years.

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Percutaneous coronary intervention in people with Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by The Hospital District of Satakunta at 6 sites in Finland.

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 2 inclusion and 10 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 May 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Finland. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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 (MACE) is the composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI) and target lesion revascularization (TLR) during 12 months of follow-up. (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 NCT00819923, 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 5 May 2011.
