About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal way of predilatation for BVS implantation.

Read the detailed description

Randomized, single-center study. Forty-five patients with intended BVS implantation will be randomized in ratio of 1:1:1 to different predilatation strategies(non-compliant balloon/Emerge NC™, Boston Scientific, cutting balloon/Flexitome™, scoring balloon/Scoroflex™,Orbus). Predilatation is intended to be done in a vessel:balloon ratio of 1:1. If the device is not able enter the lesion, it will be replaced with a conventional semicompliant balloon with the same predilatation strategy (a vessel:balloon ratio of 1:1) After a successful predilatation, the BVS (Absorb™, Abbott) will be implanted and this procedure will be accomplished by a high pressure postdilatation with a non-compliant balloon (Emerge NC™, BSCI). The MLA of the Absorb stent will be evaluated with optical coherence tomography (OPTIS, St.Jude).

Being tested
Predilatation with non-compliant balloon, Predilatation with scoring balloon (Scoroflex), Predilatation with cutting balloon (Flextome)
Keywords

What participants receive

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

  • Predilatation with non-compliant balloonDevice

    Coronary artery stenosis is dilated before BVS implantation with the use of non-compliant balloon (standard procedure). Size and dilatation pressure is done according to OCT measurement of the coronary artery (distal segment / balloon diameter = 1:1)

  • Predilatation with scoring balloon (Scoroflex)Device

    Coronary artery stenosis is dilated before BVS implantation with the use of scoring balloon. Size and dilatation pressure is done according to OCT measurement of the coronary artery (distal segment / balloon diameter = 1:1)

  • Predilatation with cutting balloon (Flextome)Device

    Coronary artery stenosis is dilated before BVS implantation with the use of cutting balloon. Size and dilatation pressure is done according to OCT measurement of the coronary artery (distal segment / balloon diameter = 1:1)

What is being measured

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

  1. Minimal lumen area (MLA) in the BVS (mm2)

    After BVS implantation, optical coherence tomography is used to measure MLA in the scaffold area.

    Measured: Immediately after BVS implantation

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Clinically - driven target vessel revascularization

    Patient is followed after BVS implantation in 1,6 and 12 months in the outpatient department.

    Measured: 12 months after the procedure

  2. Eccentricity index

    After BVS implantation, optical coherence tomography is used to measure MLA in the scaffold area. Eccentricity index is calculated as minimal luminal diameter divided by maximal luminal diameter in the MLA segment.

    Measured: Immediately after BVS implantation

  3. Expansion index

    After BVS implantation, optical coherence tomography is used to measure MLA in the scaffold area. Expansion index is calculated as minimal luminal diameter divided by maximal expected diameter of the non-compliant balloon used for high pressure postdilatation.

    Measured: Immediately after BVS implantation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Predilatation with non-compliant balloon, Predilatation with scoring balloon (Scoroflex) and Predilatation with cutting balloon (Flextome) in people with Coronary Artery Stenosis, run by Cardiology Center Agel.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 27 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Contact Petra Jiroušková, Mgr (+420466014182, petra.jirouskova@kca.agel.cz), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Minimal lumen area (MLA) in the BVS (mm2) (time frame: Immediately after BVS implantation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 27 Oct 2016.
