About this study

The ultimate goal of a paclitaxel eluting stent system (TAXUS stent) is to prevent restenosis by blunting the initial response to stent implant injury and sustaining the arrested response until vascular healing has taken place.

The purpose of the TAXUS IV-SR trial is to study the safety and efficacy of the TAXUS Stent under controlled trial circumstances used in the treatment of new coronary artery lesions (heart blockages) This clinical investigation will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the TAXUS Stent with 1 ug/mm2 (loaded drug/stent surface area) of paclitaxel incorporated into a slow rate-release formulation of a triblock copolymer carrier system for treatment of new coronary artery lesions.

Read the detailed description

This was a prospective randomized, double-blind, multicenter safety and efficacy trial. Patients were stratified by presence or absence of medically treated diabetes mellitus and vessel diameter (<3.0 mm or >/=3.0 mm), then randomized 1:1 to receive either the TAXUS Stent or a Control stent. Additional study stents were permitted to optimize outcomes. The study was considered complete (with regard to the primary endpoint) after all patients enrolled had completed the 9 month follow-up.

Enrollment of 1172 patients was planned; 1326 were treated and randomized at 73 centers involving 76 sites by 8 July 2002 with 667 in the TAXUS group and 659 in the Control group.

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the TAXUS Stent System with 1 ug/mm2 (loaded drug/stent surface area) of paclitaxel incorporated into a slow rate-release formulation of a triblock copolymer carrier syst

Secondary outcomes (6)

  1. Secondary endpoints include the following:

  2. • Rates of composite MACE and the individual components of MACE (MI, TVR, Cardiac Death), assessed at 1, 4 and 9 months after the index procedure and annually for 5 more years (i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years after the index procedure).

  3. • Stent thrombosis rate

  4. • Target Vessel Failure

  5. • Clinical procedural success

  6. • Binary restenosis rate

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing percutaneous coronary intervention in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Boston Scientific Corporation at 1 site in United States.

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 10 inclusion and 2 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 8 Oct 2008. 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 United States. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

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 primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the TAXUS Stent System with 1 ug/mm2 (loaded drug/stent surface area) of paclitaxel incorporated into a slow rate-release formulation of a triblock copolymer carrier syst. 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 NCT00292474, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 8 Oct 2008.
