Trial summary

The primary objective of this study is: comparison of a safety and effectiveness of third generation DES (biolimus A9 and everolimus) in patients with STEMI treated by primary PCI with OCT guidance. A rate of 9 month MACE (deaths, myocardial infarction, ischemia driven TLR) will be assessed in both groups. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Randomized Comparison of Biolimus-Eluting and Everolimus-Eluting Stents With Optical Coherence Tomography Guided Stent Implantation in ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction.A 9-Month Angiographic and Optical Coherence Tomography Follow-up.

The primary objective of this study is:

  • comparison of a safety and effectiveness of third generation DES (biolimus A9 and everolimus) in patients with STEMI treated by primary PCI with OCT guidance. A rate of 9 month MACE (deaths, myocardial infarction, ischemia driven TLR) will be assessed in both groups.

The secondary outcomes are a comparison of (using OCT):

  • number of uncovered stent struts
  • number of malapposed stents struts
  • in-stent neointimal volume
  • in-segment assessment of vessel wall response to DES
Read the detailed description

The aim of this multicenter, prospective, randomized trial with a core lab analysis is to assess the safety and effectiveness (at 9-month follow-up) of third generation DES (biolimus A9 and everolimus) in patients with evolving STEMI with the OCT guidance (to optimize a stent implantation) A serial OCT analysis will be performed to assess the number of either uncovered or malaposed stents strut and a degree of in-stent neointimal hyperplasia. Furthermore, the in-segment vessel wall response to DES implantation will also be analysed. The goal is to enroll 400 patients (200 in each group) with OCT guidance in 100 patients in each group.

What participants receive

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

  • biolimus A9Device

    Also called biolimus A9 eluting stent

    200 patients with STEMI will be treated using Biomatrix stent.

  • everolimusDevice

    Also called everolimus eluting stent

    200 patients with STEMI will be treated with PROMUS DES.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing biolimus A9 and everolimus in people with Coronary Heart Disease and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention, run by Masaryk University at 1 site in Czechia.

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 9 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 1 May 2009. 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 Czechia. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Pavel Cervinka, MD,PhD (+420477117886, pavel.cervinka@mnul.cz), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

to compare a safety and effectiveness of third generation DES (biolimus A9 and everolimus) in patients with STEMI treated by primary PCI with OCT guidance with assessment of a MACE's at 9 month follow-up (time frame: 2 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 1 May 2009.
