Trial summary

The bioresorbable polymer SYNERGY EES exhibits a favourable vascular healing profile in patients undergoing coronary intervention for de novo lesions. Specifically, the SYNERGY EES is superior to the ABSORB bioresorbable vascular scaffold in terms of antirestenotic efficacy as assessed by angiography at 6-8 months. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Randomized Trial of SYNERGY Bioresorbable Polymer Coated Stents Versus ABSORB Bioresorbable Backbone Stents in Patients Undergoing Coronary Stenting (ISAR-RESORB)

The bioresorbable polymer SYNERGY EES exhibits a favourable vascular healing profile in patients undergoing coronary intervention for de novo lesions. Specifically, the SYNERGY EES is superior to the ABSORB bioresorbable vascular scaffold in terms of antirestenotic efficacy as assessed by angiography at 6-8 months.

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. To address this issue recent technological advances have focused on bioresorbable polymer coatings and the development of stents with fully resorbable backbones.

Newer generation metallic DES with bioresorbable polymer coatings have been shown to improve vascular healing after coronary stenting. In particular a novel thin-strut bioresorbable polymer everolimus-eluting stent (EES, SYNERGY, Boston Scientific Corp., Natick, MA, USA) has shown high angiographic antirestenotic efficacy as well as high clinical efficacy and safety in early randomized trials. In addition, DES with bioresorbable backbones represent an alternative approach to ensure short-term vessel scaffolding and drug delivery with enhanced vessel healing. The everolimus-eluting bioresorbable backbone stent (ABSORB bioresorbable vascular scaffold [BVS], Abbott Vascular, Santa Rosa, CA, USA) is the most-extensively studied device in this class and early reports in selected patients show encouraging clinical results. However requirement for thicker stent struts and more careful lesion preparation has led to concerns that potential clinical benefits may be offset by erosion of early antirestenotic efficacy and occurrence of clinical events related to limitations of device deployment.

At present there is a lack of randomized clinical trial data examining outcomes of patients treated with these two alternative strategies. The aim of the current ISAR-RESORB study is to test the clinical performance of the bioresorbable-polymer SYNERGY with that of the ABSORB BVS in patients undergoing PCI of de novo coronary lesions. The primary endpoint will be percentage diameter stenosis at protocol-mandated 6-8 month angiographic follow-up. Secondary clinical endpoint will be assessed at 12 months. Sample size calculation is based on a superiority hypothesis for SYNERGY versus ABSORB BVS. It is planned to enrol a total of 230 patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing SYNERGY EES and ABSORB [BVS] in people with Coronary Stenosis, run by Deutsches Herzzentrum Muenchen at 1 site 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 13 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 2 Jun 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 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.

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 Robert Byrne, MB BCh PhD (+49 89 1218 ext. 4587, byrne@dhm.mhn.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage diameter stenosis (in-stent) by quantitative coronary angiography analysis (time frame: at 6-8 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 2 Jun 2015.
