About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Open-labeled, Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Three 2nd Generation Drug-Eluting Stents in Real-World Practice

The primary objective of this study is to compare the rate of device-oriented composite consisted of cardiac death, myocardial infarction not clearly attributable to a nontarget vessel, and clinically indicated target lesion revascularization among the patients treated with EES, ZES-R, or BES at 24-month clinical follow-up post-index procedure. Trial end points are summarized in Table I. The hypothesis is that BES is equivalent to EES or BES is equivalent to ZES-R at the primary end point.

Read the detailed description

Previous randomized trials have shown the superior efficacy of drug-eluting stents (DES), such as sirolimus-eluting stent (SES, CYPHER, Cordis, US), paclitaxel-eluting stent (PES, TAXUS, Boston Scientific, US), and zotarolimus-eluting stent (ZES, Endeavor, Medtronic, US) compared with bare metal stents (BMS) by reducing neointimal hyperplasia, late luminal loss, and angiographic restenosis leading to decreased target lesion revascularization. Unfortunately, restenosis still occurs and late stent thrombosis can develop by delaying endoluminal healing or by chronic inflammation.Accordingly, development of new DES is required to improve efficacy by reducing revascularization and safety by reducing the risk of stent thrombosis. With the improvement of polymer, drug, and the platform, the 2nd generation DES, including everolimus-eluting stent (EES, Xience V or Xience Prime, Abbott, USA), zotarolimus-eluting stent with biolinx polymer (ZES-R, Endeavor Resolute or Endeavor Resolute Integrity, Medtronic, USA), and biolimus-eluting stent (BES, BioMatrix or Biomatrix Flex, Biosensors, USA), have been shown to be superior or non-inferior in safety and efficacy trials compared with 1st generation DES.

However, it is difficult to know if there are any differences in efficacy and safety between the EES, the ZES-R, and the BES, in real world practice due to the lack of data comparing these three 2nd generation DES directly. This study provides the evidence for the CHOICE of stent when physicians are treating patients by percutaneous coronary intervention.

What participants receive

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

  • Biolimus-eluting stentDevice

    Also called Biomatrix, Biosensors, USA, Biomatrix flex, Biosensors, USA

    Biolimus-eluting stent (BES, BioMatrix or BioMatrix Flex, Biosensors, USA) has bio-degradable polymer which is consisted with poly-lactic acid (PLA) and degraded into H2O and CO2 while releasing the biolimus. BES would be expected to reduce the stent thrombosis comparing with the DES with durable polymer.

  • Everolimus-eluting stentDevice

    Also called Xience V, Abbott, USA, Xience Prime, Abbott, USA

    Everolimus-eluting stent (EES, Xience V or Xience Prime, Abbott, USA) use the MULTILINK VISION stent platform and durable polymer containing everolimus. It has the thinnest strut thickness among the available DES in Korea.

  • Zotarolimus-eluting stentDevice

    Also called Endeavor Resolute, Medtronic, USA, Endeavor Resolute Integrity, Medtronic, USA

    Zotarolimus-eluting stent with biolinx polymer (ZES, Endeavor Resolute or Endeavor Resolute Intergrity, Medtronic, USA) has DRIVER stent platform. The durable polymer in this DES has changed from phosphorylcholine (PC) polymer which was used in Endeavor to Biolinx polymer which has more biocompatible features.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Biolimus-eluting stent, Everolimus-eluting stent and Zotarolimus-eluting stent in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Yonsei University at 5 sites in South Korea.

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 4 inclusion and 7 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in South Korea. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Slow enrollment). 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?

Device-oriented composite (time frame: 24 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 NCT01397175, which also lists 24 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 9 Jul 2019.
