About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Different Bindarit Dosages in Preventing Stent Restenosis

The main study objective is to assess the efficacy and safety of different bindarit dosages compared to placebo in preventing restenosis, in patients submitted to coronary stenting and using a bare metal stent (Vision BMS, by Abbott).

Read the detailed description

Coronary artery disease is caused by the gradual build-up of fatty deposits in coronary arteries (atherosclerosis). A diminished blood flow may cause chest pain (angina), shortness of breath or other symptoms. A complete blockage can cause a heart attack. Angioplasty and stenting techniques are safe and effective procedures performed to unblock coronary arteries. However, a recurrent problem after angioplasty is the occurrence of a new blockage, usually within 6 to 9 months after the initial procedure. This phenomenon, called "restenosis", is a body's response to the injury of the angioplasty and does not mean a progression of coronary artery disease.The pathophysiology of restenosis is complex and has as yet not been fully clarified.

Serial studies have shown that in-stent restenosis is almost exclusively caused by neointimal hyperplasia and tissue proliferation occurring in site or adjacent to the stent sites. Histological studies confirmed that neointimal hyperplasia post-stent implantation is related to vessel injury during the procedure. Chemokines have been implicated in the pathogenesis of vascular injury. In this context, MCP-1 which shows a potent chemotactic action on monocytes, can amplify the inflammatory response through the recruitment of additional monocytes. In addition, MCP-3 is known to share some key biological features with MCP-1. It has been proved that MCP-1 directly induces human vascular smooth muscle proliferation acting at this level as a potent mitogen, and that anti-MCP-1 gene therapy inhibits restenotic changes (neointimal hyperplasia) in animals after balloon injury.

An evidence of a critical increase in circulating MCP-1 after coronary angioplasty was reported. It was more evident and prolonged in patients with restenosis rather than in non-restenotic patients, in which only a transient increases in plasma MCP-1 has been demonstrated.

Since these chemokines showed to play a main role in the appearance and worsening of the restenosis process, a selective inhibitor of MCP-1 and other members of monocyte chemotactic protein subfamily of CC inflammatory chemokines (MCP-3/CCL7, MCP-2/CCL8), such as bindarit, may have a potential therapeutic use in preventing restenosis by inhibiting the VSMC proliferation, and without affecting the important process of re-endothelization.

What is being measured

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

  1. in-segment late loss (in-stent and 5 mm proximally and distally to the stent) measured by QCA

    Late loss is defined as the difference between post-procedural minimum lumen diameter and 6-month minimum lumen diameter measured in-stent and in-segment.

    Measured: 6 months from the index procedure

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE)

    MACE are defined as the occurrence of death, Myocardial Infarction (MI), target vessel revascularization and target lesion revascularization(CABG or PTCA).

    Measured: 9 months

  2. the assessment of the safety profile of the two bindarit dosages compared to placebo

    Safety will be assessed by monitoring the frequency of adverse events in each treatment group. Changes from baseline in physical examination, vital signs, and ECG will be also assessed. Laboratory analyses will be evaluated on the basis of the normal range, the Investigator's judgement, and mean changes from baseline (when applicable).

    Measured: 9 months

  3. the imaging parameters evaluated with OCT as an optional procedure performed on a subgroup of patients.

    The following parameters will be evaluated:

    • the neointimal proliferation on the surface of the stent struts;
    • the frequency of stent malapposition.

    Measured: 6 months from the index procedure

  4. the assessment of inflammatory biomarkers in order to investigate the bindarit mechanism of action.

    determination of the plasma levels of several circulating inflammatory biomarkers (i.e. MCP-1/CCL-2, MCP-3/CCL7) involved in the neointimal hyperplasia and tissue proliferation occurring in site or adjacent to the stent sites.

    Measured: 9 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing bindarit in people with Coronary Restenosis, run by Aziende Chimiche Riunite Angelini Francesco S.p.A 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 8 inclusion and 13 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 5 Aug 2016. 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 phase mean?

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?

in-segment late loss (in-stent and 5 mm proximally and distally to the stent) measured by QCA (time frame: 6 months from the index procedure). 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 5 Aug 2016.
