Trial summary

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. Read more about this study

About this study

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. However, there is still no sufficient evidence that OCT has an inevitable role in optimal implantation of BVS and it should be more evaluated in real practice. In the study, the investigators will evaluate an incidence of OCT-defined BVS sub-optimization requiring additional PCI+A1.

Read the detailed description

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.

What participants receive

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

  • Angiography-guided PCI with BVSDevice

    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. After PCI, postprocedural OCT will be evaluated to find OCT-defined suboptimal results requiring additional PCI. If there is OCT-defined suboptimization, additional PCI will be performed including balloon angioplasty or additional stent or BVS implantation for scaffold optimization. Further postprocedural OCT will be also evaluated whether scaffold implantation is fully optimized or not.

  • Optical coherence tomography-guided PCI with BVSDevice

    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 stent implantation. After PCI, postprocedural OCT will be evaluated to find OCT-defined suboptimal results requiring additional PCI. If there is OCT-defined suboptimization, additional PCI will be performed including balloon angioplasty or additional stent or BVS implantation for scaffold optimization. Further postprocedural OCT will be also evaluated whether scaffold implantation is fully optimized or not.

What is being measured

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

  1. An incidence of OCT-defined suboptimization of BVS requiring additional BVS

    An incidence of OCT-defined BVS suboptimization requiring additional PCI

    : A composite of minimal scaffold area <5 mm2, residual area stenosis >20%, major edge dissections, incomplete strut apposition and scaffold pattern disruptions

    Measured: 1 second after angiographic scaffold optimization is obtained

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted9 Sep 2016 (estimated)
  2. Study start12 Sep 2016
  3. Primary completion26 Feb 2018
  4. Study completion26 Feb 2018

Why it stopped: Due to a problem with the supply and demand of the stent used in the study, it is difficult to register the target so the study ends early.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Angiography-guided PCI with BVS and Optical coherence tomography-guided PCI with BVS in people with Myocardial Ischemia, 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 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jan 2019. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Due to a problem with the supply and demand of the stent used in the study, it is difficult to register the target so the study ends early.). 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?

An incidence of OCT-defined suboptimization of BVS requiring additional BVS (time frame: 1 second after angiographic scaffold optimization is obtained). 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 NCT02894697, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 15 Jan 2019.
