A Randomized Controlled Comparison Between One Versus More Than Six Months of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy After Biolimus A9-eluting Stent Implantation

A study testing BioFreedom with 1 month DAPT and BioMatrix or Ultimaster with 6 to 12 months DAPT in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

Unknown status

Status not confirmed. The sponsor has not verified this record for over two years, so it may be out of date.

Trial summary

DES are preferred over BMS for most patients, however prolonged dual antiplatelet therapy is required for patients treated with DES for prevention of late or very late stent thrombosis. which increases a risk of major bleeding. Read more about this study

About this study

DES are preferred over BMS for most patients, however prolonged dual antiplatelet therapy is required for patients treated with DES for prevention of late or very late stent thrombosis. which increases a risk of major bleeding. BioFreedom is a Biolimus A9-coated stent that consists of a stainless steel stent platform with a textured abluminal surface without use of any polymer in the coating. Biolimus A9 rapid release and polymer-free property may give BioFreedom the advantages of both DES and BMS that may require less duration of DAPT. BioMatrix Flex, Biolimus-eluting stent with biodegradable polymer, also demonstrated safety and efficacy. We will compare these two difference types of Biolimus A9-eluting stents with different duration of DAPT. With proven adequate and safe duration, we will compare between one versus more than six months of dual antiplatelet therapy after Biolimus A9-eluting stents implantation using different properties of BioFreedom and BioMatrix Flex.

What participants receive

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

  • BioFreedom with 1 month DAPTDevice

    The cath lab will follow site standard operating procedures for PTCA and stenting. Information will be collected and recorded on the treated study vessel including angiographic parameters. Dual antiplatelet therapy after PCI will be continued for 1 month.

  • BioMatrix or Ultimaster with 6 to 12 months DAPTDevice

    The cath lab will follow site standard operating procedures for PTCA and stenting. Information will be collected and recorded on the treated study vessel including angiographic parameters. Dual antiplatelet therapy after PCI will be the duration of dual antiplatelet therapy will be 6 to 12 months at the discretion of the interventionist.

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing BioFreedom with 1 month DAPT and BioMatrix or Ultimaster with 6 to 12 months DAPT 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 3 inclusion and 11 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 4 Mar 2020. 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?

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?

Composite of major adverse cardiovascular events (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 NCT02513810, which also lists 3 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?
