Trial summary

The hypothesis of this study is that strut coverage occurs earlier when a DES is implanted to treat a BMS restenosis compared with atherosclerotic de-novo lesion. This hypothesis is supported by two different observations: first, when a DES is implanted to treat a BMS restenosis, stent struts are deployed and drugs… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Des Re-Endothelization for In-StEnt ResTenosis. The DESERT Study

The hypothesis of this study is that strut coverage occurs earlier when a DES is implanted to treat a BMS restenosis compared with atherosclerotic de-novo lesion. This hypothesis is supported by two different observations: first, when a DES is implanted to treat a BMS restenosis, stent struts are deployed and drugs are eluted on a soft tissue mostly characterized by extracellular matrix with a regular surface. In this case stent malposition is less likely to occur compared to atherosclerotic lesion whose surface is often more irregular and rich in calcium. Second, patients who develop in-stent restenosis after BMS implantation are likely to show a more pronounced neointima hyperplasia and, when a DES is implanted to treat restenosis, reendothelialization is likely to occur earlier. If this hypothesis was verified, duration of dual antiplatelet therapy could be shortened after DES implantation on BMS restenosis with a clinical advantage in terms of bleeding risk. Furthermore, a higher bleeding risk is often a reason for choosing a BMS instead of a DES; thus, patients presenting with BMS restenosis are likely to have a higher bleeding risk and to benefit from a shorter period of dual antiplatelet therapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stable Coronary Artery Disease and Silent Myocardial Ischemia, run by S.M. Misericordia Hospital 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jul 2013. 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.

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?

Prevalence of uncovered struts evaluated by OCT analysis at six-month follow-up. (time frame: Measured will be assessed six-month after coronary angioplasty). 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 23 Jul 2013.
