About this study

Official title: Head-to-Head Comparison of Endothelial Dysfunction (Bare Metal Stent vs Sirolimus Eluting Stent) in the Same Patient With Multiple Coronary Artery Lesions

This is a prospective, randomised study to compare the endothelial dysfunction of BMS vs SES, both implanted in the same patient with multiple de novo coronary artery lesions undergoing elective PCI. The primary end point will be the evaluation of endothelial dysfunction at 6 months follow-up by measuring the change in vessel diameter in 5 points of the stent and peri-stent site after infusion of acetylcholine.

Read the detailed description

This prospective, randomised study compares the endothelial dysfunction of BMS vs SES, both implanted in the same patient with multiple de novo coronary artery lesions undergoing elective PCI. From february 2009 to may 2009 we aim to enroll 20 patients with at least two de novo significant angiographic stenoses in different coronary segments who will have similar diameter and length. The primary end point will be the evaluation of endothelial dysfunction at 6 months follow-up by measuring the change in vessel diameter in 5 points of the stent and peri-stent site after infusion of acetylcholine.

What participants receive

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

  • intracoronary infusion of acetylcholineDrug

    Also called cypher coroflex

    Acetylcholine will be infused at a concentration of 140 microg/minute, over a period of 2 minutes, yielding estimated intracoronary concentrations of 10(-5)mol/L, with the assumption of a flow rate of 80mL/min). All infusions will be delivered at a constant rate using an infusion pump. Subsequently, in order to evaluate the endothelium-independent vasomotor response, 2mg of isosorbide dinitrate or bolus 250microg of nitroglycerine will be infused by intracoronary bolus in all subjects. The response to nitrate will be recorded 1 minute after the bolus. A 3-min period will be allowed to elapse between each drug infusion.

What is being measured

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

  1. evaluation of endothelial dysfunction at 6 months follow-up by measuring the change in vessel diameter in 5 points of the stent and peri-stent site after infusion of acetylcholine

    evaluation of change in vessel diameters (vasoconstriction or vasodilatation) in proximal and distal stent territories, after intracoronary acetylcholine infusion, having as reference the baseline diameters, for the BMS artery vs the SES artery

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing intracoronary infusion of acetylcholine in people with Endothelial Dysfunction, run by Azienda Ospedaliera San Camillo Forlanini 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 3 inclusion and 16 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 Nov 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

evaluation of endothelial dysfunction at 6 months follow-up by measuring the change in vessel diameter in 5 points of the stent and peri-stent site after infusion of acetylcholine (time frame: 6 months). 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 NCT01242306, 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 17 Nov 2010.
