About this study

PCI is considered as the reperfusion strategy of choice for patients with acute STEMI. Data from RCTs and meta-analyses demonstrate a consistent and strong signal towards a significant reduction in MACE among patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI with newer generation stents with enhanced biocompatibility.

The present trial aims at filling the current gap of evidence by providing randomized data to establish the superior clinical outcome with an ultrathin strut third-generation DES with biodegradable polymer designed to improve vascular healing in patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI, compared to the current state-of-the art second-generation DES with permanent polymer.

Read the detailed description

Background

Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is considered nowadays as the reperfusion strategy of choice for patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI, owing to a lower risk of myocardial re-infarction and improved short- and long-term survival compared to fibrinolysis. However, STEMI is still associated with poorer clinical outcomes after PCI, compared to stable CAD, with higher rates of stent thrombosis and an increased risk of myocardial re-infarction persisting throughout long-term follow-up. recent data from randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses demonstrate a consistent and strong signal towards a significant reduction in major adverse cardiac events among patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI with third-generation DESs, compared with both first-generation and second-generation DESs with durable polymer. Importantly, this signal suggesting superiority of third-generation DESs in patients with STEMI has never been demonstrated with second-generation DESs. Third-generation DESs with enhanced biocompatibility may therefore have a particular clinical benefit in high-risk subgroups of patients with delayed vascular healing but these data warrants confirmation in appropriately designed randomized controlled trials.

Objective

The purpose of the study is to compare the safety and efficacy of a novel biodegradable-polymer sirolimus-eluting stent (Orsiro®) with a durable-polymer everolimus-eluting stent (Xience Xpedition or Xience Alpine®) in a superiority trial among patients presenting with acute STEMI and undergoing primary PCI.

Methods

Eligible patients with acute STEMI presenting within 24 hours of symptom onset will undergo primary PCI. At PCI, the randomly allocated stent has to be implanted in the culprit lesion of the target vessel.

Patients will be followed-up with a hospital visit at 12 months. Patients will be followed-up for clinical endpoints by telephone at 30 days and 2 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Orsiro and Xience in people with Coronary Artery Disease and Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by Insel Gruppe AG, University Hospital Bern at 10 sites in Switzerland.

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 7 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 2 Sep 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in Switzerland. 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?

Number of patients with target lesion failure (TLF), a composite of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction (Q-wave and non-Q-wave), or clinically driven target lesion revascularization (time frame: up to 12 months). 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 NCT02579031, which also lists 18 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 2 Sep 2020.
