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

Who may be able to join

  • A complex lesion is regarded as a lesion where the operator would expect a lower immediate and long term success rate compared to non-complex lesions (according to the results of Randomized Controlled Trials and from large Registries). The operator must consider the implantation of a drug-eluting stent, feasible and appropriate for this particular complex lesion

Who cannot join

  • Contra-indication to dual anti-platelet therapy.
  • Ejection fraction <30%.
  • Renal failure (creatinine >2 mg/dL).
  • Significant co-morbidity precluding clinical follow-up.
  • Acute myocardial infarction in the 48 hours prior to the procedure.
  • In-stent restenosis
Show all 17Show fewer
  • Prior brachytherapy
  • Thrombocytopenia <100,000
  • Unprotected left main stem stenosis
  • Venous or arterial grafts
  • Recipient of heart transplant
  • A positive pregnancy test in women with child bearing potential
  • Acute infections
  • Major surgery planned which will lead to discontinuation of antiplatelet therapy
  • Patients with prior BMS or DES implanted in the target vessel less than one year prior to the enrollment, including one year from any intercurrent restenotic or thrombotic event
  • Age under 18 years old.
  • There is no maximum number of lesions which can be treated

What is being measured

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

  1. Post-procedure Minimal Lumen Diameter (MLD) evaluated by core lab QCA: superiority for the IVUS optimised group.

    Measured: Procedure day

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Target lesion revascularisation (TLR) at 9 months: superiority or statistical trend for the IVUS optimized group

    Measured: 9 months

  2. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at 9 months: superiority or statistical trend for the IVUS guided group due to lower TLR and no difference in myocardial infarction (MI) or death.

    Measured: 9 months

  3. MACE events at 2 years.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing IVUS optimised DES implantation and angiographically guided DES implantation in people with Myocardial Infarction, run by Fondazione Evidence per Attività e Ricerche Cardiovascolari ONLUS.

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 1 inclusion and 17 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 22 Feb 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Post-procedure Minimal Lumen Diameter (MLD) evaluated by core lab QCA: superiority for the IVUS optimised group. (time frame: Procedure day). 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 NCT00936169, 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 22 Feb 2012.
