About this study

Official title: A Randomized Controlled Comparison of Optical Coherence Tomography Guidance and Angiography-only Guidance for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold

It is well-known that non-optimal stent implantation associated with under-expansion or incomplete strut apposition during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) leads to a higher incidence of restenosis and stent thrombosis. OCT-guided PCI with metallic stent has previously been shown to be safe and feasible, resulting in better clinical outcomes compared with angiography-only guided PCI. Everolimus-eluting bioabsorbable vascular scaffold (BVS; Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA, USA) was made from a bioabsorbable polylactic acid backbone which is coated with a more rapidly absorbed polylactic acid layer that contains and controls the release of the antiproliferative drug, everolimus. BVS has a number of proposed advantages over current metallic stent technology. These include elimination of chronic sources of vessel irritation and inflammation, which can reduce the potential risk of late scaffold thrombosis after complete scaffold bioresorption. Although the current generation of the Absorb BVS have larger strut thickness of 150 μm compared with 80 μm of strut of Xience stent, the acute recoil of the polymeric device was similar to that of metallic stent. However, operators tented to use dilating devices less aggressively because of the concerns about limitation in elongation-at-break of polylactide. Previous studies reported 20-30% of under-expansion or malapposition with BVS, which would increase the risk of adverse events including late stent thrombosis. OCT-guidance may improve more optimized scaffold placement and also better outcomes. Therefore, investigators will compare OCT guidance and angiography-only guidance for PCI with BVS regarding incomplete scaffold apposition and neointimal scaffold coverage. Investigators are also going to compare these two strategies regarding clinical outcomes with verification of the cut-off value by OCT-acquired uncovered scaffold rate.

What participants receive

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

  • Angiography-guided PCI with bioresorbable vascular scaffoldDevice

    Everolimus-eluting bioresorbable vascular scaffold (Absorb, Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA, USA) was made from a bioabsorbable polylactic acid backbone which is coated with a more rapidly absorbed polylactic acid layer that contains and controls the release of the antiproliferative drug, everolimus. PCI will be performed with BVS under conventional coronary angiography without any other intravascular imaging modality.

  • optical coherence tomography-guided PCI with bioresorbable vascular scaffoldDevice

    Everolimus-eluting bioresorbable vascular scaffold (Absorb, Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA, USA) was made from a bioabsorbable polylactic acid backbone which is coated with a more rapidly absorbed polylactic acid layer that contains and controls the release of the antiproliferative drug, everolimus. For optimized PCI, both conventional coronary angiography and optical coherence tomography can be used before and after stent implantation. OCT study should be checked at the final post-procedure and stent implantation is optimized.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of uncovered scaffold struts

    Percentage of uncovered scaffold struts between OCT guidance vs. angiography-only guidance PCI on 6 month OCT

    Measured: six months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Major cardiac and cerebrovascular adverse events (MACCEs)

    Cardiac death, myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization, stent thrombosis, cerebrovascular accident and major bleeding between OCT guidance vs. angiography-only guidance PCI until 12 months

    *Major bleeding ; causing mortality, hypovolemic shock or severe hypotension requiring inotropes or surgery, intrapericardial with tamponade, significant disabling (e.g. intraocular bleeding leading to loss of vision), symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage, intraocular bleeding leading to loss of vision, hemoglobin drop ≥ 3g/dL, or requiring transfusion more than 2 units

    Measured: until one year

  2. Percentage of incomplete scaffold struts apposition

    Scaffold strut malapposition: Malapposition is defined by a clear seperation between the abluminal side of the strut and the vessel wall. As a result, scaffold malapposition is defined as the presence of any malapposed struts. percentage of malapposed struts (% malapposed strut) was the ratio of malapposed struts from total analyzable struts.

    Measured: six months after stent implantation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Angiography-guided PCI with bioresorbable vascular scaffold and optical coherence tomography-guided PCI with bioresorbable vascular scaffold in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Yonsei University 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 4 inclusion and 12 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jul 2016. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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 of uncovered scaffold struts (time frame: six 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 27 Jul 2016.
