What is being measured

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

  1. angiographic binary re-restenosis

    incidence of angiographic binary re-restenosis

    Measured: 9 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Late luminal loss

    incidence of late luminal loss assessed by angiography

    Measured: 9 months

  2. major adverse cardiac events

    incidence of major adverse cardiac events

    Measured: 12 months

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  2. Study startJun 2010
  3. Primary completionDec 2011
  4. Study completionJul 2012

Why it stopped: the study was halted after an interim analysis perfomed for a perceived excess of target vessel revascularization in the DEB+BMS arm

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing DEB+BMS and POBA+DES in people with Myocardial Ischemia, run by Leonardo Bolognese, MD 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 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 12 Jul 2012. 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.

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 stopped early (reason given: the study was halted after an interim analysis perfomed for a perceived excess of target vessel revascularization in the DEB+BMS arm). 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?

angiographic binary re-restenosis (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 12 Jul 2012.
