About this study

The objective of this trial is to compare clinical outcomes between imaging-guided and QCA-guided strategy in patients with native coronary artery disease undergoing BRS implantation.

Read the detailed description

The investigators hypothesized that intravascular imaging-guided BRS implantation is superior to QCA-guided BRS implantation with respect to target lesion failure in patients with native coronary artery disease.

What participants receive

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

  • quantitative coronary angiography guided Bioresorbable scaffold implantationDevice

    In the QCA-guided group, BRS size and length were chosen by both visual estimation and on-line QCA, and adjunct high-pressure dilation is routinely performed to achieve angiographic residual diameter stenosis less than 30% by QCA and absence of angiographically visible dissections.

  • imaging guided Bioresorbable scaffold implantationDevice

    In the imaging-guided group, imaging is used at any step of percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) before, during, or after PCI. Final image examination after PCI is mandatory.

What is being measured

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

  1. Target lesion failure

    the cumulative incidence of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction or ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization at 12 months after the index procedure.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Device success

    Successful delivery and deployment of the study scaffold at the intended target lesion and successful withdrawal of the delivery system with attainment of final in-scaffold residual stenosis of less than 30% by quantitative coronary angiography (QCA).

    Measured: 1 hour after an index procedure

  2. Procedural success

    Achievement of final in-scaffold residual stenosis of less than 30% by quantitative coronary angiography with successful delivery and deployment of at least one study scaffold at the intended target lesion and successful withdrawal of the delivery system for all target lesions without the occurrence of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction or repeat target lesion revascularization during the hospital stay.

    Measured: 24 hours after an index procedure

  3. Death

    cardiac, vascular, non-cardiovascular

    Measured: 1 year, and 5 years

  4. Myocardial infarction

    Measured: 1 year, and 5 years

  5. Scaffold thrombosis

    Measured: 1 year, and 5 years

  6. Stroke

    Measured: 1 year, and 5 years

  7. Target lesion revascularization

    Measured: 1 year, and 5 years

  8. Any revascularization

    Measured: 1 year, and 5 years

  9. Target lesion failure (TLR)

    cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction or ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization

    Measured: 1 year, and 5 years

  10. A composite event

    a composite event of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, stroke, or clinically significant bleeding(clinically significant bleeding by Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) type 2,3,4,5)

    Measured: 1 year, and 5 years

  11. In-scaffold restenosis on coronary CT angiography

    Measured: 1 year, and 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing quantitative coronary angiography guided Bioresorbable scaffold implantation and imaging guided Bioresorbable scaffold implantation in people with Coronary Stenosis, run by Seung-Jung Park 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 26 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 8 Jul 2022. 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: BioResorbable Scaffold is not available in South Korea). 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?

Target lesion failure (time frame: 1 year). 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 8 Jul 2022.
