About this study

Official title: Patient Related OuTcomes With Endeavor Versus Cypher Stenting Trial: PROTECT Continued Access Post Marketing Surveillance Trial

In order to expand safety information in patients treated with the Endeavor Drug Eluting Stent System, or next generation model, a Continued Access (CA) study is added to the PROTECT Trial. The amended study is "PROTECT CONTINUED ACCESS" ("PROTECT CA").

Read the detailed description

This was a prospective, multicenter, non-randomized, single-arm, open-label post market surveillance study designed to expand safety information in patients treated with the Endeavor® Zotarolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System.

Since their introduction, Drug Eluting Stents (DES) have markedly decreased stent restenosis and the clinical need for repeat revascularization frequently observed with bare metal stents (BMS)1-10. However, the widespread use of DES has raised concerns regarding the occurrence of late stent thrombosis (> 30 days after stent implantation)12-14. Although the incidence might seem low (0.2-0.7%)13,15-18 the high mortality and morbidity associated with stent thrombosis, and the soaring number of stents implanted annually, make it a significant medical problem.

The purpose of this trial was to investigate the long-term clinical safety and efficacy of the Endeavor drug eluting stent in a large and higher risk patient population, which more closely reflects clinical practice today. Both unstable and stable patients with single or multivessel disease and complex lesions were eligible for enrollment.

The selected primary endpoint was stent thrombosis, defined as definite and probable stent thrombosis according to the ARC definition, at 3 years. The main secondary endpoints were the composite of death or cardiac death combined with large or all non-fatal myocardial infarction, which are the typical clinical manifestations of stent thrombosis. These events are adjudicated by a clinical events committee.

1.2 Study Endpoints 1.2.1 Primary Endpoint: The overall stent thrombosis rate defined as definite and probable stent thrombosis according to the ARC definition at 3 years 1.2.2 Secondary Endpoints:

Main Secondary Endpoints include:

  • Composite endpoint of total death and number of patients with all non-fatal myocardial infarction at 3 years
  • Composite endpoint of cardiac death and number of patients with all non-fatal myocardial infarction at 3 years
  • Composite endpoint of total death and number of patients with large non-fatal myocardial infarction at 3 years
  • Composite endpoint of cardiac death and number of patients with large non-fatal myocardial infarction at 3 years

Additional secondary endpoints include:

  • Total Death and subcategories of Death
  • Large and all Myocardial Infarction (MI)
  • Stent thrombosis defined as definite, probable and possible
  • Composite score of clinical outcomes (death, myocardial infarction, stroke and revascularization) *
  • Major Adverse Cardiac and Cerebral Events (MACCE)
  • Stroke (hemorrhagic in nature while on clopidogrel)
  • Bleeding complications in general
  • Target lesion revascularization (TLR)
  • Target vessel revascularization (TVR)
  • Non target vessel revascularization (non TVR)
  • Procedural success
  • Device success
  • Lesion success
  • Endpoints will be calculated at the follow-up time points and for the mean follow-up period.
  • The composite score of clinical outcomes (death, myocardial infarction, stroke and revascularization) constructed from a patient population according to the Delphi method.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Endeavor® Zotarolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System in people with Coronary Artery Disease, Autosomal Dominant, 1, run by Medtronic Vascular 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 5 inclusion and 16 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 4 May 2015. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 2 Jul 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 Evaluate Overall Stent Thrombosis Rate of the Endeavor® Zotarolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System in a Patient Population Requiring Stent Implantation (time frame: 3 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 4 May 2015.
