Study population: All-comer patients (≥80 years) affected by acute coronary syn-drome (NSTE-ACS), stabile angina, or silent angina, who qualify for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) according to ESC-treatment guidelines and physicians' clinical routine estimation.

About this study

Prospective, multi-centre, open-label, single-armed, non-interventional observational clinical investigation designed to enrol 2000 octo- and nonagenerian all-comer patients with coro-nary artery disease in up to 37 sites in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Patients underwent PCI using at least one Supraflex Cruz Sirolimus Eluting stent as per current practice and will be followed up for 12 months.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, multicentre, open-label, single-armed, non-interventional observa-tional clinical investigation in aged patients (≥80 years) undergoing PCI using at least one Supraflex sirolimus eluting stent as per current practice. The registry is an observational study and patient's participation in this study has no impact on his or her indication for treatment, diagnostics, or therapy. Subjects are supposed to be treated according to cur-rent guidelines and the site's internal directives.

Inclusion in the registry is completely independent of the medical treatment. All products used for the medical treatment should be administered as stated in their SmPCs (Sum-mary of Product Characteristics) and/or Instructions for Use (IFU). Treatment pattern and treatment initiation, continuation, or changes are solely at the discretion of the physician and the patient. There will be no attempt to influence the treatment patterns of any indi-vidual treating physician. All drug subscriptions applied will be in the usual standard of care. Participation in the registry will in no way influence payment or reimbursement for any treatment received by subjects during the study.

The study will be conducted about 37 sites in Germany, Switzerland and Austria and 2000 subjects will be included. A total study duration of about 39 months is assumed, of which about 18 months account for enrolment and 12 months for the follow-up.

Eligible are all patients with chronic- (CCS) or acute- Non-ST-elevation coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) and target lesion suitable for PCI with drug-eluting stent (see section 6.3 for detailed eligibility criteria) undergoing PCI using at least one SUPRAFLEX CRUZ™ Sirolimus eluting coronary stent system as per current practice, who will visit consecutively a partici-pating investigation site. It is planned to enroll about 2000 patients in total.

Following discharge, patients will be treated according to clinical routine/guidelines. Hence, no study-specific pre-planned procedures will be performed.

To assess the primary endpoint, all patients will receive telephone calls at 6 and 12 months following index procedure and will be interviewed by means of a standardized patient interview by the investigation sites.

On-site monitoring will be performed (about 1.5 visits per site; risk-based approach). Dur-ing on-site monitoring, the monitor will verify patient informed consent documentation and perform source data verification against the patient's medical records. In addition, an attempt will be made to check the consecutiveness of patient enrolment at the site, fully respecting privacy and personal data of subjects who are not enrolled in the registry and consequently have not given informed consent.

Data will be captured at three time points:

  • Baseline (e.g. site and patient characteristics, index procedure, events, etc.),
  • 6-months FU (e.g. vital status, endpoint-related events, quality of life, adverse events, etc.) and
  • 12-months FU (e.g. vital status, endpoint-related events, quality of life, adverse events, etc.)

What participants receive

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

  • The SUPRAFLEX CRUZ™ Sirolimus eluting coronary stent systemDevice

    Investigational device: SUPRAFLEX CRUZ™ Sirolimus eluting Coronary Stent System The SUPRAFLEX CRUZ™ Sirolimus eluting coronary stent system consists of a balloon ex-pandable Sirolimus eluting stent, premounted on a stent delivery system. The active pharmaceutical ingredient in the SUPRAFLEX CRUZ™ Sirolimus eluting coronary stent is Sirolimus (also known as Rapamycin).

    The SUPRAFLEX CRUZ™ Sirolimus eluting coronary stent system is indicated for improving coronary luminal diameter in patients with symptomatic Ischemic heart disease due to discrete de-novo stenotic lesions and in-stent restenotic lesions in native coronary arter-ies with a reference vessel diameter of 2.00 mm to 4.50 mm.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Disease, run by IHF GmbH - Institut für Herzinfarktforschung at 1 site in Germany.

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 6 inclusion and 6 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 17 Jun 2025. 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 Germany. 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?

Device Oriented Composite Endpoint (time frame: 12 month). 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 17 Jun 2025.
