About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate serial changes of neointimal coverage after everolimus-eluting stent implantation at 3-, 6- and 12-months by OCT examination.

Read the detailed description

Late and very late stent thrombosis is current main issue after introduction of drug-eluting stents .Possible causes of these stent thromboses include thrombus formation resulting from delayed neointimal coverage, spasms occurring at the distal end of the stent implantation site, positive remodeling of coronary arteries caused by local immune reaction to paclitaxel or rapamycin, and vascular endothelial damage induced by the polymer. For BMS, neointimal coverage begins within the first one month after stent implantation and almost completes in three months. For DES, sirolimus eluting stents (SES) for example, neointimal coverage is markedly delayed after stent implantation and the exposed stent struts may be largely attributable to the occurrence of late stent thrombosis.

On the other hand, everolimus eluting stents (EES), which have a thinner stent strut layer and improved polymer biocompatibility, it has been reported that earlier and more normal neointimal coverage can be achieved compared with other first-generation DESs, SES and paclitaxel eluting stents (PES). These findings suggest that coverage with vascular endothelium differs among different DES platforms. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has a resolution of 15 to 20 μm, which is approximately 10 times higher than that of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). It is therefore necessary to use OCT to accurately evaluate cross-sectional images of the stent struts covered with vascular endothelium. However, no studies have reported the results of continuous observation and evaluation of EES covered with endothelium.

Therefore, the investigators investigate time course of neointimal coverage of EES through detailed evaluation by OCT of neointimal coverage at 3, 6, and 12 months after stent implantation.

What is being measured

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

  1. The percentage of neointimal coverage

    The primary endpoint is to evaluate the neointimal coverage of XIENCE everolimus eluting stent (EES) in 12 month after stent implantation by Optical coherence tomography

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The percentage of neointimal coverage

    Measured: 3 months

  2. The percentage of neointimal coverage

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Heart Disease, run by Kobe University at 1 site in Japan.

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 6 inclusion and 9 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 9 Sep 2013. 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 Japan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The percentage of neointimal coverage (time frame: 12 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 9 Sep 2013.
