About this study

This study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, blind, parallel and superiority test study. It is planned to select 206 cases of subjects with small coronary artery vessel disease who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria. They are randomly divide them into Biolimus release coronary balloon catheter treatment group and plain old balloon angioplasty catheter (Powerline) treatment group according to the ratio of 1:1. All subjects accept clinical follow-up after operation, at 30 days, 6 months, 9 months and 12 months after operation. Follow-up with angiography is conducted at 9 months. The late lumen loss in diseased segment at 9 months after operation is the primary endpoint.

Read the detailed description

The study was a prospective, multicenter, randomized, blind, parallel positive control, and superiority test study, 206 subjects with small coronary artery disease who met the inclusion/exclusion criteria were enrolled, subjects were randomly assigned to the treatment group of Biolimus and Powerline at 1:1. All subjects underwent clinical follow-up at 30 days, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months after surgery, and angiographic follow-up at 9 months. The primary endpoint was late lumen loss at 9 months.

The study will enroll 206 subjects. The sample size determination process is as follows:

Sample size is calculated according to the primary endpoint, late lumen loss (LLL) in diseased segment at 9 months after operation. Through literature review, a Meta analysis combined 11 randomized and control study shows that the late lumen loss level of control group (POBA) in the treatment of small vessel disease is 0.54mm. Another Meta analysis shows that LLL after PTCA operation is 0.57±0.57mm. Clinical investigators and statisticians, according to literature and clinical practice, suppose that the LLL level of test group (DCB) in this study can be lowered to 0.32mm and the combined standard deviation of LLL of the two groups is estimated to be 0.50mm conservatively.

The calculation formula of sample size for parallel design and superiority test is used. In case of taking 0.025 at singles side for inspection level, taking 80% for power (1-β), and taking 0 for superiority cut-off, conduct random grouping according to the ratio of 1:1, the require sample size of each group is calculated to be 82 cases. Considering the maximum failure rate 20% in angiography follow-up (as well as the early withdrawal and random damage caused by other reasons), the planned total sample size of both groups is 206 cases finally, including 103 cases for test group (DCB) and 103 cases for control group.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Biolimus and Powerline in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by JW Medical Systems Ltd at 1 site in China.

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 0 inclusion and 27 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 22 Sep 2021. 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?

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?

The late lumen loss (time frame: 9 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 NCT03769623, 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 22 Sep 2021.
