About this study

Official title: ILUMIEN III: OPTIMIZE PCI: OPtical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Compared to Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) and Angiography to Guide Coronary Stent Implantation: a Multicenter RandomIZEd Trial in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)

The objective of this clinical investigation is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of an OCT guided strategy for stent implantation

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, post-market, international, multi-center, randomized clinical investigation in which the participants will be randomized in 1:1:1 ratio to undergo PCI with either OCT, IVUS, or Angiography guidance. The clinical investigation will be conducted at approximately 35 sites in the United States and outside the United States; approximately 25% of subjects will be enrolled in the United States.

Patients in the IVUS and OCT groups patients will undergo baseline and post PCI imaging with their randomized modality. In addition, the Angiography group and IVUS groups will undergo a blinded post-PCI OCT run to allow comparison of OCT derived minimum stent area (MSA) in both groups.

After hospital discharge, all patients will have clinical follow-up at 30 days, and 1 year.

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary Efficacy Endpoint (Powered): Post-PCI Median Minimum Stent Area (MSA)

    Post-PCI MSA will be assessed by OCT in each randomized arm, measured at the independent OCT core laboratory blinded to imaging modality assignment. Hierarchal manner testing will be as follows:

    1. Non-inferiority: OCT vs. IVUS guided stenting Non-inferiority of OCT guided stenting to IVUS guided stenting will be analyzed for the mean difference between the post PCI MSA for the OCT and IVUS arms with non-inferiority margin of 1.0 mm^2.
    2. Superiority: OCT vs. Angiography guided stenting If the OCT guided stenting arm was found to be non-inferior to the IVUS guided stenting arm, the superiority of OCT to angiography will be tested for the mean difference between the post PCI MSA for the OCT and angiography arms.
    3. Superiority: OCT vs. IVUS guided stenting

    If the OCT guided stenting arm was found to be superior to the IVUS guided stenting arm, then the superiority of OCT to IVUS will be tested for the mean difference between the post PCI MSA for the OCT and IVUS arms.

    Measured: Post-procedure within 1 hour

  2. Primary Safety Endpoint (Non-powered): Number of Participants With Procedural MACE (Major Adverse Cardiac Event)

    Procedural MACE defined as procedural complications (angiographic dissection, perforation, thrombus, and acute closure) requiring active interventions (prolonged balloon inflations, additional stent implantations, pericardiocentesis, thrombus aspiration and other).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 1 Apr 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 29 sites in United States, Japan, Italy, Belgium, Germany and 3 more countries. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Apr 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Primary Efficacy Endpoint (Powered): Post-PCI Median Minimum Stent Area (MSA) (time frame: Post-procedure within 1 hour). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02471586, 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 1 Apr 2021.
