About this study

To prospectively evaluate in a multicenter open label trial whether the use of zotarolimus-eluting ENDEAVOR Stent implantation in patients at low restenosis or at high bleeding or thrombotic risk will decrease the incidence of 12-month major adverse cardiac events (MACE) including overall death, any myocardial infarction (MI) or any target vessel revascularization (TVR).

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to conduct a multicenter, international, randomized trial to test whether the Endeavor stent is superior to BMS in terms of efficacy and safety in

  1. Patients with coronary artery disease lesions at low risk of in-stent restenosis;
  2. Patients at high risk for bleeding or carrying impossibility to comply with dual anti-platelet treatment at long-term.
  3. Patients at high thrombosis risk due to systemic disorders or planned non-cardiac surgery within 12 months

As the use of DES in these two patient/lesion subsets is debated due to lack of evidence, patients fulfilling at least one of these three medical conditions qualify for bare metal stent implantation and physicians may believe DES to be even contra-indicated in such cases. The current protocol has been developed on purpose to address the value of the Endeavor Sprint stent, which differs in many aspects from other FDA approved DES, including fast and complete degree of strut coverage after implantation and quick release of active drug after deployment (~15 days) which may help decreasing the need for prolonged dual antiplatelet treatment down to 1 month as it is currently recommended for bare metal stent implantation.

What participants receive

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

  • Bare metal stent implantationDevice

    After BMS implantation the duration of dual anti-platelet therapy is a function of the clinical presentation and the bleeding risk a given patient as follows:

    Clopidogrel will be given for 1 month after PCI if indication to the procedure is stable coronary artery disease or for at least 6 month if indication to the procedure is ACS, including STEMI or NSTEACS. At discretion of the treating physician, prasugrel or ticagrelor may replace clopidogrel in ACS patients.

    Patients recruited in the study due to high bleeding risk will receive clopidogrel for at least 30 days.

    Patients recruited in the study due to high thrombosis risk will receive clopidogrel monotherapy life long or DAPT for at least 1 month.

  • zotarolimus eluting stentDevice

    After ZES implantation the duration of dual anti-platelet therapy is a function of the clinical presentation and the bleeding risk a given patient (i.e. identical to criteria set out for BMS patients) as follows:

    Clopidogrel will be given for 1 month after PCI if indication to the procedure is stable coronary artery disease or for at least 6 month if indication to the procedure is ACS, including STEMI or NSTEACS. At discretion of the treating physician, prasugrel or ticagrelor may replace clopidogrel in ACS patients.

    Patients recruited in the study due to high bleeding risk will receive clopidogrel for at least 30 days.

    Patients recruited in the study due to high thrombosis risk will receive clopidogrel monotherapy life long or DAPT for at least 1 month.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Bare metal stent implantation and zotarolimus eluting stent in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Marco Valgimigli at 16 sites in 4 countries.

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 17 inclusion and 4 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 10 Oct 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 sites in Italy, Hungary, Portugal, Switzerland. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

MACE (time frame: 12 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 NCT01385319, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 10 Oct 2012.
