About this study

Official title: Randomized Study to Evaluate Segmental Late Loss Comparing Two PCI Strategies Using a Long Stent vs 2 Shorter Stents to Treat Long or Tandem Coronary Stenosis.

Multiple overlapping drug-eluting coronary stents (DES) are usually needed to treat long coronary stenoses but this strategy is expensive and the response to overlapping DES has not been extensively studied. The recent availability of bioabsorbable polymer DES could allow treatment of long coronary stenoses without leaving gross burden of non-absorbable polymer in the vessel wall, even in case of overlapping stents.

Thus we planned to evaluate which of the 2 strategies, namely using a single long biabsorbable DES or two shorter biabsorbable DES with minimal overlapping, is better in treating long coronary stenoses.

The study is a spontanous randomized multicenter open-label study. A maximum of 300 patients with stable angina and at leat 1 coronary stenosis >28mm and <40mm of length will be randomized in 1:1 fashion by a Web-based electronic CRF. The long stent group (Group A) will be treated by a single 44mm Biomime DES (II generation DES with bioabsorbable polymer, Meril Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd., Gujarat, India). The short stent group (Group B) will be treated by 2 short Biomime DES positioned with minimal overlapping. The primary end-point of the study will be the 6 moth in-stent late lumen loss. Seconadry end-points will be 1, 6 and 12 month overall mortality, myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization, stent thrombosis and MACE (combination of the 3 previous clinical end-points). Patients will be evaluated by 6-month control coronary angiography and late lumen loss in the stented vessel will be measured in a quantitative coronary angiography Core Lab (Cardioimaging Centre, Novara, Italy)

What is being measured

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

  1. follow up in-stent late lumen loss

    difference between the in-stent coronary lumen measure obtained immediately after coronary percutaneous intervention and the in-stent coronary lumen measure at follow up

    Measured: 6-month

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. overall mortality

    mortality for all causes

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Myocardial infarction

    Myocardial infarction (universal definition of myocardial infarction, ACC/AHA/ESC statement) in the territory of the treated coronary artery

    Measured: 1 year

  3. target vessel revascularization

    revascularization of the treated coronary vessel by repeated percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting due to restenosis and or symptoms or instrumental signs of myocardial ischemia

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Stent thrombosis

    Coronary stent thrombosis according to ARC definition

    Measured: 2 years

  5. MACE (major coronary adverse event)

    combined endpoint = presence of overall death or myocardial infarction or target vessel revascularization or stent thrombosis

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing implantation of a bioabsorbable polymer DES in people with Coronary Artery Disease, 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 6 inclusion and 14 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 26 Mar 2015. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Alessandro Lupi, MD (+3903213733236, lupialessandro1@tin.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

follow up in-stent late lumen loss (time frame: 6-month). 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 26 Mar 2015.
