Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • The patient has an in-stent restenosis of ≥ 60% and < 100% (by QCA online of the MLD compared to the distal reference diameter) in a native coronary artery.
  • The study target lesion can not be located in a vessel containing another lesion requiring treatment. Lesions located in other vessels may be treated with percutaneous revascularization at the time of the procedure, BUT they must be successfully treated prior to the treatment of the study target lesion.

Who cannot join

  • Unprotected left main coronary disease with ≥ 50% stenosis;
  • Patient previously treated with brachytherapy in any coronary vessel.
  • Target lesion involves bifurcation including a side branch >2.5mm in diameter.
  • The patient sustained a recent (<72 hours) myocardial infarction defined as a serum CK 2x the upper limit of normal and elevated MB or abnormal lab values.

About this study

Official title: A Multi-Center, Non-Randomised Study of the CYPHER™ Sirolimus-Eluting Stent in the Treatment of Patient With an in-Stent Restenotic Native Coronary Artery Lesion

The main objective of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Cypher™ sirolimus-eluting stent in reducing angiographic in-lesion late loss in patients with an in-stent restenotic native coronary artery lesion.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter (11 sites), non-randomized study. Patients who meet the eligibility criteria will be treated with the Cypher™ sirolimus-eluting stent. All patients will have a repeat angiography at six months post-procedure and will be additionally followed clinically at 1, 6 and 9 months and up to 3 years. The results of this study will be compared with the outcome of the GAMMA I / II as the historical control.

What is being measured

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

  1. angiographic in-lesion late loss

    Measured: 6 months post-procedure

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. in-stent mean percent diameter stenosis (%DS)

    Measured: 6-months post-procedure

  2. i-stent late loss (LL)

    Measured: 6 months post-procedure

  3. in-lesion binary restenosis

    Measured: 6-months post-procedure

  4. Target Vessel Revascularization (TVR)

    Measured: 9-months post-procedure

  5. Target Vessel Failure (TVF) defined as any revascularization of the index vessel or myocardial infarction or death that cannot be clearly attributed to a vessel other than the index vessel

    Measured: 9 months post-procedure

  6. Composite of Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE) defined as death, myocardial infarction (Q wave and non-Q wave), emergent bypass surgery, or repeat target lesion revascularization in-hospital

    Measured: 1, 6, 9 months and, 2 and 3 years post-procedure

  7. occurrence of bleeding

    Measured: 1, 6, 9 months and, 2 and 3 years post-procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing drug-eluting stent in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Cordis US Corp. at 2 sites in 2 countries.

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 2 inclusion and 4 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 30 Apr 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Belgium, 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

angiographic in-lesion late loss (time frame: 6 months post-procedure). 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 30 Apr 2008.
