About this study

Official title: Post-marketing Study Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of Firebird 2 Versus Cypher Sirolimus-eluting Stents in Treating Patients With Coronary Artery Disease in China

Sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) has been world-widely used in clinical practice in treating patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). The efficacy and safety of Cypher SES (Cordis, MA) has been proved by several randomized clinical trials. Here the investigators design a prospective, multicenter, randomized clinical study in purpose of identifying the non-inferiority in the efficacy and safety in treating CAD patients by Firebird 2 SES (Microport, Shanghai), comparing with Cypher SES.

Being tested
Firebird 2 SES, Cypher SES
Keywords
significant stenosis (>70% of lumen stenosis), epicardial coronary arteries.

What participants receive

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

  • Firebird 2 SESDevice

    The FIREBIRD2™ Rapamycin-Eluting CoCr Coronary Stent is the second generation DES of MicroPort, which based on the new cobalt chromium alloy stent platform. It uses polyolefin polymer, which makes the coating property very remarkable.

  • Cypher SESDevice

    The Cypher SES is based on the 316L platform with Controlled-release, nonresorbable, elastomeric polymer coating.

What is being measured

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

  1. in-stent late lumen loss at 9 months' angiographic follow-up

    Late luminal loss was defined as the difference between the minimal luminal diameter immediately after the placement of the stent and the minimal luminal diameter at 9 months

    Measured: 9 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. target vessel failure

    defined as the occurrence of any of the following within 1 and 2 years after the index procedure: death from cardiac causes, Q-wave or non-Q-wave myocardial infarction, or revascularizationof the target vessel (emergency or elective coronaryartery bypass grafting [CABG] or repeated percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty [PTCA]).

    Measured: 1, and 2 years after index procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Firebird 2 SES and Cypher SES in people with Coronary Artery Stenosis, run by Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine at 1 site in China.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jun 2011. 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 China. 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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-stent late lumen loss at 9 months' angiographic follow-up (time frame: 9 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 14 Jun 2011.
