About this study

Official title: Bioresorbable Polymer ORSIRO Versus Durable Polymer RESOLUTE ONYX Stents (BIONYX): A Randomized Trial With Stent Evaluation in All-comers IV (TWENTE IV)

The introduction of drug-eluting stents (DES) in the treatment of coronary artery disease has led to a significant reduction in morbidity. However, the first generation of these devices had no positive impact on the mortality after PCI (compared to bare metal stents), which was greatly attributed to a somewhat increased incidence of late and very late stent thrombosis. Concerns about the role of durable polymers as a potential trigger of inflammation and finally adverse events also led to the development of DES with bioresorbable coatings, which leave after degradation of the coating only a bare metal stent in the vessel wall that does not induce an inflammatory response. While such bioresorbable polymer DES are increasingly used in clinical practice, data from head-to-head comparisons between bioresorbable polymer DES with a contemporary highly flexible new generation permanent polymer coated DES.

Read the detailed description

rationale: The introduction of drug-eluting stents (DES) in the treatment of coronary artery disease has led to a significant reduction in morbidity. However, the first generation of these devices had no positive impact on the mortality after PCI (compared to bare metal stents), which was greatly attributed to a somewhat increased incidence of late and very late stent thrombosis. Concerns about the role of durable polymers as a potential trigger of inflammation and finally adverse events also led to the development of DES with bioresorbable coatings, which leave after degradation of the coating only a bare metal stent in the vessel wall that does not induce an inflammatory response. While such bioresorbable polymer DES are increasingly used in clinical practice, data from head-to-head comparisons between bioresorbable polymer DES with a contemporary highly flexible new generation permanent polymer coated DES.

Aim:

The aim of the study is to compare the outcome of the bioresorbable polymer coated stent (ORSIRO) and a new generation permanent polymer coated stent (RESOLUTE ONYX) in an all-comers patient population and non-inferiority setting.

Study design:

The study is a prospective, randomized, single-blinded, multicentre trial with 1:1 randomization for drug-eluting stent type, stratified for gender and the presence of diabetes mellitus.

Study population:

Patients who require percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for the treatment of coronary stenoses with an indication for DES use, according to current guidelines and/or the operators clinical judgement. All clinical syndromes will be included. A total of 2,470 patients will be included.

Intervention:

One group will receive the ORSIRO stent, the other group will receive the RESOLUTE ONYX stent. All other intervention and procedural characteristics are similar.

Primary study outcome:

Incidence of target vessel failure (TVF) at 1 year follow-up (according to ARC definitions). Components of the primary endpoint in hierarchical order: - Cardiac death: all deaths are considered cardiac, unless an unequivocal non-cardiac cause can be established. - Target vessel related myocardial infarction (MI) that is Q-wave or non-Q-wave, that can be related to the target vessel or cannot be related to another vessel. - Clinically driven repeated target vessel revascularization by means of PCI or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Being tested
Orsiro, Resolute Onyx

  • Resolute OnyxDevice

    Also called Resolute Onyx drug eluting stent

    stents will be implanted in case of significant coronary artery disease based on coronary angiography

Study groups in NCT02508714
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Orsiro DES (Biotronik)Active comparatorThe ORSIRO hybrid coating DES (Biotronik, Switzerland) is a device which includes a modern, highly flexible, thin-strut stent platform, eluting sirolimus from a thin biodegradable BIO-lute coating grom PLLA (poly(L-lactic acid)) which is located mainly on the abluminal side.
Receives: Device: Orsiro
RESOLUTE ONYX DES (Medtronic)Active comparatorThe RESOLUTE ONYX is a permanent polymer DES that uses a novel highly flexible metallic stent backbone with increased radiographic visibility eluting the drug zotarolimus from the BioLinx durable polymer coating. The stent platform uses corewire technology that allows the stent to have a denser core metal surrounded by outer layer of cobalt-chromium.
Receives: Device: Resolute Onyx

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in Netherlands, Belgium, Israel. 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?

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?

Target vessel failure (TVF) (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT02508714, which also lists 13 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 3 Feb 2017.
