About this study

Official title: RANDOMIZED TRIAL OF ZOTAROLIMUS- AND EVEROLIMUS-ELUTING STENTS REGARDING STENT COVERAGE ASSESSED BY OCT

The objective of the study is to assess the superiority of the everolimus-eluting stent (Endeavor Resolute®) compared with the everolimus-eluting stent (XIENCE V®) regarding uncovered stent strut segments.

Read the detailed description

The mid-term efficacy of drug-eluting stents has been well-established, but there is an ongoing debate on the potential of an increased incidence of late stent thrombosis, particularly after discontinuation of thienopyridine therapy, as well as of delayed onset of restenosis or catch-up phenomenon with permanent polymer-based DES. The extent of strut coverage with reduction of exposed thrombogenic material has been shown to be associated with the inflammatory reaction grade and with the incidence of stent thrombosis. The optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an intravascular imaging modality based on light. The principle is similar to intravascular ultrasound, but due to the much shorter wave length of light, it offers a much better resolution up to 10µm, enabling the exact determination of strut coverage, neointimal thickness, vessel size, presence of dissections, and even the presence of inflammation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Degree of stent strut coverage assessed by OCT for each visible strut segment

    Measured: 6-8 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Percentage of malapposed strut assessed by OCT

    Measured: 6-8 months

  2. Percentage of uncovered malapposed struts assessed by OCT

    Measured: 6-8 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Everolimus-Eluting-Stent and Zotarolimus-Eluting-Stent in people with Coronary Heart Disease, run by Deutsches Herzzentrum Muenchen 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 3 inclusion and 10 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 8 May 2012. 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.

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?

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?

Degree of stent strut coverage assessed by OCT for each visible strut segment (time frame: 6-8 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 8 May 2012.
