About this study

Official title: Local-Tax Trial: Local Intracoronary Administration of Paclitaxel After Stent Implantation for Prevention of Restenosis in Comparison With Stent Implantation Alone and With Implantation of a Paclitaxel-Eluting Stent

The aim of the study is to examine the efficacy of Paclitaxel injection after a stent implantation in patients with stenosis in native coronary arteries to prevent restenosis in comparision with two admitted therapies.

Read the detailed description

The aim of the study is to examine whether in patients with stable or instable Angina pectoris and/or documented myocardial ischemia in the presence of de-novo stenosis in native coronary arteries with a degree of stenosis between 50 % and 99 % an additional local administration of paclitaxel after implantation of a conventional stent is superior to the implantation of a conventional stent alone with respect to late lumen loss (LLL). In case of superiority it will be examined whether an additional local administration of paclitaxel after implantation of a conventional stent is not inferior to the implantation of a paclitaxel-eluting stent with respect to late lumen-luss. Is this the case, superiority will be tested.

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary objective is the angiographical determination of the late lumen loss in the stent and/or persistent area, 6 month after stent implantation.

    Measured: week 26 +/- 14 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. The angiographical determination of the binary restenosis rate, defined as diameter stenosis of at least 50 % in the stent and / or persistent area, 6 months after stent implantation.

    Measured: week 26 +/- 14 days

  2. The angiographical determination of the degree of stenosis, defined as percentage diameter stenosis in the stent and /or persistent area, 6 months after stent implantation.

    Measured: week 26, +/- 14 days

  3. Tthe angiographical determination of the minimal lumen diameter in the stent and / or persistent area, 6 months after stent implantation.

    Measured: week 26, +/- 14 days

  4. The 6 months after stent implantation determined combined endpoint of abrupt and subabrupt closure of the target vessel, target lesion revascularisation and major adverse cardiac events including myocardial infarction and death.

    Measured: week 26, +/-14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing local intracoronary dosis of Paclitaxel in people with Stable or Unstable Angina Pectoris and Myocardial Ischemia, run by University Hospital Tuebingen 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 29 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 May 2007. 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.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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 is the angiographical determination of the late lumen loss in the stent and/or persistent area, 6 month after stent implantation. (time frame: week 26 +/- 14 days). 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 NCT00396929, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 16 May 2007.
