Trial summary

The nitinol stent has proven superior primary patency than balloon angioplasty in superficial femoral artery lesions. Recent stent design improvements focus on decreasing stent fracture rates which can negatively impact patency rates by rearranging strut alignment. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Self-Expanding Nitinol S.M.A.R.T CONTROLTM Stent Versus Life Stent For The Atherosclerotic Femoro-Popliteal Arterial Disease : Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled Trial (SENS-FP-2 Trial)

The nitinol stent has proven superior primary patency than balloon angioplasty in superficial femoral artery lesions. Recent stent design improvements focus on decreasing stent fracture rates which can negatively impact patency rates by rearranging strut alignment. In the literature, however, prospective, randomized, controlled, clinical trial for comparison of stent fracture and primary patency between different nitinol stents has never been performed except one study; SMART versus Luminexx stent named SuperSL trial. LifeStent is similar to S.M.A.R.T. stent in the design consisted of the peak-to-valley connected with S-shaped bridge but is different in lesser bridge (4 bridge vs. 6 bridge), large cell size on stent ends, and larger cell size than S.M.A.R.T. On the other hand, Recent meta-analysis has shown that the efficaty of cilostazol in the atherosclerotic femoropopliteal lesion was proven. However, still specific data regarding a variety of antiplatelet regimen in implanted femoropopliteal lesion are limited. Upto date, in the literature, never has never been performed the clinical trial for optimal duration of cilostazol use in the patient undergone stent implantation for femoropopliteal lesion. Thus, The purpose of our study is to examine and compare Primary patency and stent fracture between different two-nitinol stents (S.M.A.R.T. CONTROL versus Lifestent) in femoropopliteal arterial lesion and to examine and compare the optimal duration of cilostazol use.

Read the detailed description

Five randomized, controlled trials failed to demonstrate any benefit of a stainless-steel stent over angioplasty alone. The nitinol stent has proven superior primary patency than balloon angioplasty in superficial femoral artery lesions. Recent stent design improvements focus on decreasing stent fracture rates which can negatively impact patency rates by rearranging strut alignment. In vitro, Stefan et al. reported difference in stent design might play a major role in the appearance of stent strut fracture related to restenosis and reocclusion. Also, several retrospective or registry clinical studies reported stent fractures were associated with a higher risk of in-stent restenosis and reocclusion. In the literature, however, prospective, randomized, controlled, clinical trial for comparison of stent fracture and primary patency between different nitinol stents has never been performed except one study; SMART versus Luminexx stent named SuperSL trial (lesion length between 5-22 cm). Furthermore, in the Asian population, the study of this type have never been performed. LifeStent is similar to S.M.A.R.T. stent in the design consisted of the peak-to-valley connected with S-shaped bridge but is different in lesser bridge (4 bridge vs. 6 bridge), large cell size on stent ends, and larger cell size than S.M.A.R.T. On the other hand, 2011 ESC guideline recommended that dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and a thienopyridine for at least one month is recommended after infrainguinal bare-metal-stent implantation. Recent meta-analysis has shown that the efficaty of cilostazol in the atherosclerotic femoropopliteal lesion was proven. However, still specific data regarding a variety of antiplatelet regimen in implanted femoropopliteal lesion are limited. Upto date, in the literature, never has never been performed the clinical trial for optimal duration of cilostazol use in the patient undergone stent implantation for femoropopliteal lesion. Thus, The purpose of our study is to examine and compare Primary patency and stent fracture between different two-nitinol stents (S.M.A.R.T. CONTROL versus Lifestent) in femoropopliteal arterial lesion and to examine and compare the optimal duration of cilostazol use (6 month versus 12 month)

What participants receive

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

  • S.M.A.R.T CONTROL StentDevice

    Provisional stenting should be performed; the case that optimal ballooning response is not obtained (sub-optimal balloon response) should be enrolled. The procedure is usually done, as follows; After the guidewire is passed through the target lesion, predilation of the target lesion with an optimally sized balloon will be performed prior to stent implantation. Recommended, minimal balloon dilation time is 120 seconds. The sub-optimal balloon response is defined as a residual pressure gradient of >15 mmHg, residual stenosis of >30%, and flow-limiting dissection.

SMART CONTROL StentActive comparatorstudy design is 2x2 randomization design. First, before randomization, stratification will be performed according to lesion length 15cm criteria at web-based computerized program. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 manner according to different two (SMART versus LifeStent) stents. And then, patients received aspirin and clopidogrel during one month. After one month from index procedure, clopidogrel will be stopped and changed into cilostazol. Patients were randomized to receive cilostazol 100mg bid either 11 month duration or 5 month duration in separate groups of SMART stent group and LifeStent group. Randomization procedure will be performed using a web-based program

What is being measured

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

  1. The rate of binary restenosis

    binary restenosis is defined as the restenosis of at least 50 percent of the luminal diameter in the treated segment at 12 months after intervention, when determined by catheter angiography.

    Measured: one year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. stent fracture rate, clinical outcomes, angiographic outcomes, ankle-brachial index

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing LifeStent in people with Peripheral Arterial Disease and Atherosclerosis, run by Korea University Guro Hospital at 1 site 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 9 inclusion and 10 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 31 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 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.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Seung-Woon Rha, MD, PhD (82-2-818-6387, swrha617@yahoo.co.kr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The rate of binary restenosis (time frame: one year). 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 31 Jul 2012.
