Trial summary

Evidence supporting use of bioabsorbable polymer drug eluting stents (BP-DES) is uncertain. Thus the investigators planned a meta-analysis to compare outcomes of BP-DES versus PP-DES in obstructive coronary artery disease. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Bioabsorbable Versus Permanent Polymer Bare Metal Stents in Saphenous Vein Graft Disease: Insights From a Meta-analysis of 6221 Patients

Evidence supporting use of bioabsorbable polymer drug eluting stents (BP-DES) is uncertain. Thus the investigators planned a meta-analysis to compare outcomes of BP-DES versus PP-DES in obstructive coronary artery disease.

Read the detailed description

Evidence supporting use of bioabsorbable polymer drug eluting stents (BP-DES) is uncertain. Previous studies suggested that BP-DES are at least as effective as durable polymer drug eluting stents (PP-DES). Thus the investigators planned a meta-analysis to compare outcomes of BP-DES versus PP-DES in obstructive coronary artery disease. Medline and Web databases were searched for studies comparing BP-DES and PP-DES for obstructive coronary disease, reporting rates of overall mortality, target lesion revascularization (TLR), myocardial infarction (MI), binary restenosis and late lumen loss (LLL) with a follow-up ≥ 6 months. Odds ratios (ORs) will be computed from individual studies and pooled according to a fixed effect (e.g. inverse variance weighting) or random effect model in case of statistical heterogeneity. Given the a priori heterogeneous nature of the observational analyses, separate subgroup analysis of studies with PLA bioabsorbable polymer loaded with biolimus A19 (BP-BES) is prespecified.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Restenosis and Myocardial Infarction, run by Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria Maggiore della Carita 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 3 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 8 Nov 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 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?

late coronary lumen loss (time frame: 9 month). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01466634, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 8 Nov 2011.
