About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Open Label, Multi-center Trial of Firehawk™ Coronary Stent System in the Treatment of Coronary Chronic Total Occlusion Lesion(s) by Optical Coherent Tomography (OCT) and Coronary Angiography

This study is a prospective, multi-center, open-label, randomized controlled clinical trial,aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Firehawk™ sirolimus target-eluting coronary stent system with abluminal grooves containing a biodegradable polymer (Firehawk™) comparing the XIENCE everolimus-eluting coronary stent system in the treatment of subjects with total coronary occlusion lesion(s).

Read the detailed description

This study will recruit 196 subjects with total coronary occlusion lesion(s) in coronary arteries ≥2.25 mm to ≤4.0 mm in diameter and ≤100 mm in length (by visual estimate) in no more than 10 research centers in China. All participants met the inclusion criteria will be 1:1 randomized to receive Firehawk™ sirolimus target-eluting coronary stent or XIENCE everolimus-eluting coronary stent.

Optical Coherent Tomography (OCT) sub study: the first 44 consecutive subjects who consented to participate in the OCT sub study will undergo OCT assessment at 3 months and 12 months post index procedure. The OCT sub study will be performed in 3-5 pre-selected sites. The clinical follow-up will be carried out at 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months,and 2-5 years post-index procedure.The primary endpoint is in-stent late lumen loss at 12 months post-index procedure.The secondary endpoint is neo-intimal thickness by Optical Coherent Tomography (OCT) at 3 months post-index procedure.

Being tested
Firehawk sirolimus target eluting coronary stent system, XIENCE Everolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System

Individual data sharing
Yes: Individual participant data that underlie the results reported in the article, after deidentification (text, tables, figures, and appendices) will be shared. Additionally, study protocol will be available. The data will become available for the beginning 3 months and ending 5 years following article publication. The access criteria are as follow: (With) Researchers who provide a methodologically sound proposal. (For the analysis) to achieve aims in the approved proposal. (Requisite mechanism) Proposals should be directed to mzheng@microport.com. To gain access, data requestors will need to sign a data access agreement. Data are available for 5 years at a third party website (Link to be included). If the data sharing plan changes after registration, this should be reflected in the statement submitted and published with the manuscript, and updated in the registry record.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 10 Jan 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 China. 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?

In-stent late lumen loss (time frame: At 12 months post-index procedure). 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 NCT03040934, which also lists 2 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 10 Jan 2020.
