About this study
Official title: A Prospective, Multi-center, Open-label, Controlled, Superiority, Randomized, Controlled Registration Trial of the Rapamycin Target Eluting Stent for the Treatment of Symptomatic Cerebral Artery Atherosclerotic Disease(TARGET-DREAM)
The trial is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, superiority, randomized controlled clinical trial. The experimental groups include two types of drug-eluting stents:
- Experimental Device A, a self-expanding rapamycin target-eluting stent (MicroPort NeuroTech, Shanghai, China)
- Experimental Device B, a balloon-expandable rapamycin target-eluting stent (MicroPort NeuroTech, Shanghai, China) The device used in the control group is the Apollo® Intracranial Artery Stent System, a balloon-expandable bare-metal stent (MicroPort NeuroTech, Shanghai, China), According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria specified in the protocol, approximately 249 subjects with symptomatic cerebral artery atherosclerotic stenosis will be enrolled in China and randomized to Experimental Group A, Experimental Group B, or the control group.

Considering the broader applicability of Experimental Device A and Experimental Device B compared to the control device, a specification subgroup is established. 20 subjects with lesions only suitable for the unique specifications of Experimental Device A or Experimental Device B will be enrolled in China. These subjects will not undergo randomization, and their data will be analyzed separately without hypothesis testing.
Moreover, a subgroup of Experimental Device B is established at a study center in Brazil. 10 subjects meeting the trial's inclusion and criteria will be enrolled. These subjects will not undergo randomization, and their data will be analyzed separately without hypothesis testing, only to support overseas registration.
Overall, the total sample size for the study is 279 subjects. Clinical assessment will be conducted for all subjects before the procedure, during the procedure, at discharge, at 1 month (±7 days) follow-up, at 6 months (±30 days) follow-up, and at 12 months (±60 days) follow-up. At 12 months (±60 days), patients will undergo follow-up with DSA imaging. Unscheduled follow-ups may be performed as needed to record relevant indicators and evaluate the safety and efficacy of the two drug-eluting stents in the treatment of symptomatic cerebral artery atherosclerotic stenosis.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Experimental Device A, a self-expanding rapamycin target-eluting stent (MicroPort NeuroTech, Shanghai, China), Experimental Device B, a balloon-expandable rapamycin target-eluting stent (MicroPort NeuroTech, Shanghai, China) and Apollo® Intracranial Artery Stent System, a balloon-expandable bare-metal stent (MicroPort NeuroTech, Shanghai, China), in people with Intracranial Arteriosclerosis, run by MicroPort NeuroTech Co., 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 6 inclusion and 25 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Apr 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 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.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Huina Lu (+8615901703529, HuiNa.Lu@microport.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
In-stent restenosis (ISR) rate at 12 months post-procedure (time frame: 12 months after surgery(±60days)). 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 13 Apr 2025.
