About this study
Official title: ABILITY Diabetes Global
To compare in diabetic patients eligible for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with minimal exclusion criteria, the efficacy and safety of Abluminus DES+ sirolimus- eluting stents (SES) versus XIENCE Everolimus-Eluting Stents (EES). At least 40% of patients are expected to be affected by multivessel coronary artery disease and 30% with acute coronary syndrome
Read the detailed description
This study aims to determine which DES will best treat the diabetic population. Specifically, the research question of this trial is to evaluate the use of a novel sirolimus-eluting stent coated with drug-eluting polymer after crimping on the balloon as compared to the standard-of-care EES in the treatment of de novo coronary artery disease in patients with diabetes mellitus. ABILITY is a prospective, multi-center, multinational, randomized, open label, 2-arm parallel group, post-approval study.
- Conditions
- Diabetes, Coronary Artery Disease, Acute Coronary Syndrome
- Being tested
- Abluminus DES+ Sirolimus Eluting Stent System (SES), XIENCE Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System (XIENCE family)
- Medical subject headings
- Diabetes Mellitus, Coronary Artery Disease, Acute Coronary Syndrome
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Abluminus DES+ Sirolimus Eluting Stent System (SES)Device
The Sirolimus-eluting stent manufactured by Envision and distributed by Concept Medical
XIENCE Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System (XIENCE family)Device
The Everolimus-eluting stent manufactured and distributed by Abbott Vascular Santa Clara, CA
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Abluminus DES+ sirolimus- eluting stents (SES) | Active comparator | Enrolled patients will undergo angioplasty with Abluminus DES+ sirolimus- eluting stents (SES) and will be followed for two years. The DES procedure will be conducted in accordance with the CE mark instructions for use for the Abluminus DES+ sirolimus- eluting stents (SES). Receives: Device: Abluminus DES+ Sirolimus Eluting Stent System (SES) |
| XIENCE Everolimus-Eluting Stents (EES) | Active comparator | Enrolled patients will undergo angioplasty with XIENCE Everolimus-Eluting Stents (EES) and will be followed for two years. The DES procedure will be conducted in accordance with the CE mark instructions for use for the XIENCE Everolimus-Eluting Stents (EES). Receives: Device: XIENCE Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System (XIENCE family) |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Rate of Ischemia-driven TLR
powered for non-inferiority and sequentially superiority
Measured: 1 year FU
Rate of Target lesion failure TLF
composite of cardiovascular death, target vessel myocardial infarction [MI], or ischemia driven target lesion revascularization [idTLR])
Measured: 1 year FU, powered for non-inferiority
Secondary outcomes (4)
Safety composite endpoint
Safety composite endpoint of the occurrence of cardiovascular death and target-vessel myocardial infarction (MI)
Measured: 1 year (non-inferiority)
co-primary TLR endpoint
In case the co-primary TLR endpoint (TLR for non-inferiority) will be demonstrated at 1 year, then the occurrence of ischemia-driven TLR at 2-year FU will be evaluated (efficacy endpoint - superiority)
Measured: 2 Year FU
Composite of cardiovascular death, target vessel MI and ischemia-driven TLR (TLF)
Cardiovascular death is defined as death resulting from cardiovascular causes. The following categories may be collected:
- Death caused by acute MI
- Death caused by sudden cardiac, including unwitnessed, death
- Death resulting from heart failure
- Death caused by stroke
- Death caused by cardiovascular procedures
- Death resulting from cardiovascular hemorrhage
- Death resulting from other cardiovascular cause Any MI not clearly attributable to a non-target vessel will be considered as target-vessel MI.
- Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) related MI is termed type 4a MI.
- Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) related MI is termed type 5 MI. Revascularization is clinically driven if the target lesion diameter stenosis is > 50% by quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) and the subject has clinical or functional ischemia which cannot be explained by another native coronary or bypass graft lesion.
Measured: 1 year FU
Bleeding
Bleeding BARC 2 or greater
Measured: 2 year
