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

Study population: Patients with significant symptomatic coronary artery disease who for this reason undergo PCI with implantation of one or more drug eluting stent(s) (DES) or bare metal stent(s) and requiring Vitamin K Antagonist based full anticoagulation therapy (target INR 2-4,5) for any clinical indication. The LASER Registry will collect the data of 1000 patients with the need for oral anticoagulation and 1000 matched control patients without the need for oral anticoagulation.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with significant symptomatic coronary artery disease (stable angina class II or more (CCS) , unstable angina, NSTEMI, or STEMI) and who for this reason do undergo percutaneous coronary revascularization with one or more drug eluting stent(s) (DES) or bare metal stent(s)
  • Patients requiring Vitamin K Antagonists based full anticoagulation therapy (target INR 2-4,5) for any clinical indication
  • Age: >18 years; no upper age limit
  • Informed consent has been obtained that the patient agrees to be fol-lowed up for up to one year

Who cannot join

  • Patients who have been treated with a combined anticoagulant \& antiplatelet therapy within the previous two months
  • Overt or constant occult bleeding that cannot adequately be treated (proton pump inhibitors, H2-blockers e.g.)
  • Any contraindication to the use of thienopyridines
  • Any contraindication to the use of aspirin
  • Severe liver or kidney disease
  • Any reason that creates sufficient doubts that follow-up can be obtained with reasonable efforts
  • Any other reason that in the eye of the investigator makes the patient unsuitable for the participation in the registry
  • For female patients only: pregnant or not on oral contraceptives or child bearing potential

About this study

LASER is designed to gather data about ischemic an bleeding complications for a period of 12 months after a PCI with the aim to optimize the therapy of these patients.

Read the detailed description

The LASER Registry will collect data from unselected patients on how the problem of stents on the background of full anticoagulation is approached by the investigators. On the collected data the LASER registry will

  • document the frequently used treatment modalities how patients requiring stents on the background of full anticoagulation with Vitamin K Antagonists are currently managed
  • will document the associated cardiac event rates with each currently used treatment strategy
  • will document the associated bleeding rates with each currently used treatment strategy

With these data available, the LASER Registry will allow

  • to define an optimised treatment regimen for the treatment of patients on full anticoagulation with Vitamin K Antagonists receiving one or more coronary stents
  • to allow the appropriate sample size calculation for the design of a subsequent randomised comparison of continuous triple anticoagulation versus this optimised treatment regimen in such patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention, run by Stiftung Institut fuer Herzinfarktforschung at 2 sites in Germany.

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 4 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 17 Jun 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Germany. 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.

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 17 Jun 2016.
