About this study

Official title: Intracoronary Scaffold Assessment a Randomised Evaluation of Absorb in Myocardial Infarction (ISAR-Absorb MI) A Prospective, Randomized Trial of BVS Veruss EES in Patients Undergoing Coronary Stenting for Myocardial Infarction

The aim of the current study is to test the clinical performance of the everolimus-eluting BVS compared with that of the durable polymer everolimus-eluting stent (EES) in patients undergoing PCI in the setting of acute MI.

Read the detailed description

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation currently represents the dominant treatment strategy in patients undergoing catheter intervention. However effective neointimal suppression occurs at the cost of a systematic delay in arterial healing in comparison with after bare metal stenting. This underlies a small but significant increased risk of stent thrombosis after DES implantation in comparison with bare metal stent implantation as well as a possible excess of in-stent neoatheroma formation.

Bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS) represent an innovative technology providing short-term vessel scaffolding and drug delivery without the long-term limitations of metallic DES and durable polymer coatings. Potential benefits include restoration of normal vasomotor reactivity, facilitation of positive vessel wall remodelling and facilitation of subsequent bypass grafting of the stented arterial segment. In addition preliminary reports suggest that the process of scaffold biodegradation may promote formation of a cohesive tissue layer covering and stabilizing the underlying atherosclerotic plaque - a so-called plaque-sealing effect. Although initial results with BVS are encouraging, there is a lack of randomized clinical trial data and no data exists for outcomes after BVS implantation in patients undergoing coronary stenting in the setting of acute myocardial infarction (MI).

The aim of the current study is to test the clinical performance of the everolimus-eluting BVS compared with that of the durable polymer everolimus-eluting stent (EES) in patients undergoing PCI in the setting of acute MI. The primary endpoint will be percentage diameter stenosis at protocol-mandated 6-8 month angiographic follow-up. Sample size calculation is based on a non-inferiority assumption in relation to the BVS versus EES. It is planned to enrol a total of 260 patients. Subsequent clinical follow-up will be undertaken out to 2 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bioresorbable vascular scaffold and Durable polymer everolimus-eluting metallic stent in people with Cardiovascular Disease and Myocardial Infarction, run by Deutsches Herzzentrum Muenchen at 2 sites in Germany.

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 4 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 Jul 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Germany. 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.

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?

Percentage Diameter Stenosis (time frame: 6-8 months). 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 NCT01942070, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 Jul 2018.
