Read the detailed description

The aim of the present trial is to assess the efficacy of the standalone use of SeQuent(R) Please coated balloon compared to a bare metal stent (BMS) in patients with NSTEMI. Primary efficacy endpoint will be MACE (cardiac mortality, reinfarction, and target lesion revascularization) after 9 months.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. MACE

    MACE means the occurence of cardiac death, reinfarction, or target lesion revascularization

    Measured: 9 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Stent thrombosis (ARC

    Measured: 9 months, 3 years, 5 years

  2. Mortality (cardiac and non-cardiac)

    Measured: 9 months, 3 years, 5 years

  3. Reinfarction

    Measured: 9 months, 3 years, 5 years

  4. target lesion revascularization

    Measured: 9 months, 3 years, 5 years

  5. target vessel revascularization

    Measured: 9 months, 3 years, 5 years

  6. any revascularization

    Measured: 9 months, 3 years, 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Stent and SeQuent(R) Please coated balloon in people with Coronary Heart Disease and NSTEMI, run by University Hospital, Saarland 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 5 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 6 May 2023. 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. 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 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?

MACE (time frame: 9 months). 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 NCT01489449, 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 6 May 2023.
