About this study

Official title: OCT Evaluation of Stent Struts Re-endothelization in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes: a Comparison of the Intrepide™ Stent vs. Taxus™

Patients presenting with ACS (Acute Coronary Syndrome) in the emergency department will be screened for clinical eligibility and asked to sign informed consent to the study.

A total of 40 patients will be randomized. 20 of them will receive a Trapidil eluting stent (Intrepide™ stent), 20 will receive a Paclitaxel eluting stent (Taxus™ stent). After 90 days the patients who were treated with the INTREPIDE stent in the first lesion will be treated with the Taxus stent in the second lesion. After 90 days the patients who were treated with the Taxus stent in the first lesion will be treated with the INTREPIDE stent in the second lesion.

Coronary angiography will be performed through the femoral (groin) or radial (wrist) artery with the use of standard techniques. The doctor will determine if the patient is qualified for enrolment at the end of the diagnostic coronary angiogram

What participants receive

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

  • Intrepide Trapidil eluting stentDevice

    The INTREPIDE coronary stent system consists of a balloon expandable stent coated with two layers of Trapidil and parylene. The Trapidil eluting stent is pre-mounted on a Nimbus PCTA balloon and is intended for use in the treatment of CAD.

    The controlled release of Trapidil is achieved through the parylene barrier, locally delivering the drug to the target lesion, inhibiting smooth muscle cell proliferation and hence neointimal hyperplasia.

  • Taxus drug eluting stentDevice

    Paclitaxel Drug eluting stent manufactured by Boston Scientific

Study groups in NCT00914420
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
IntrepideExperimentalGroup A- Primary stenting with Intrepide trapidil eluting stent
Receives: Device: Intrepide Trapidil eluting stent
TaxusExperimentalGroup B Stenting with Taxus DES
Receives: Device: Taxus drug eluting stent

What is being measured

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

  1. To compare stent re-endothelialization using Trapidil drug eluting stent versus Taxus paclitaxel eluting stent at 3 months after intervention. The primary endpoint will be defined by % of stent struts neointimal coverage at 90 days

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. In-stent binary angiographic restenosis and in-stent late lumen loss; in segment late loss; assessed by quantitative computed angiography (QCA) at 12 months

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Intrepide Trapidil eluting stent and Taxus drug eluting stent in people with Coronary Artery Disease and Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by Clearstream Technologies Ltd. at 1 site in Italy.

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 9 inclusion and 12 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 19 Apr 2010. 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 Italy. 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To compare stent re-endothelialization using Trapidil drug eluting stent versus Taxus paclitaxel eluting stent at 3 months after intervention. The primary endpoint will be defined by % of stent struts neointimal coverage at 90 days (time frame: 3 months). 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 19 Apr 2010.
