About this study

Official title: ABSORB Bioresorbable Scaffold vs. Xience Metallic Stent for Prevention of Restenosis Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Patients at High Risk of Restenosis

The primary objectives of this trial are:

In patients at high-risk for restenosis,

  • To assess non-inferiority of the everolimus-eluting bioresorbable scaffold (BRS) to the everolimus eluting cobalt chromium metallic stent (EES) in target lesion failure (TLF) at 1 year
  • To assess superiority of the BRS to the EES in TLF between 3 and 7 years
Being tested
ABSORB scaffold, Xience

XienceActive comparatorPatient will undergoes elective or emergent percutaneous coronary intervention and will be treated with Xience Prime.
Receives: Device: Xience

What is being measured

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

  1. non-inferiority of the everolimus-eluting bioresorbable scaffold (Absorb) to the everolimus eluting cobalt chromium metallic stent (Xience) in target lesion failure (TLF)

    Composite of:

    • Cardiac death
    • Myocardial infarction (MI) in target vessel territory (SCAI consensus for periprocedural MI, 3rd universal definition for spontaneous or other MI)
    • Clinically Indicated Target lesion revascularization

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. superiority of the Absorb to the Xience in TLF between 3 and 7 years

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Superiority of the Absorb to the Xience in TLF at 7 years

    Measured: 7 years

  3. Superiority of the Absorb to the XIence in cumulative angina rate at 1 year

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ABSORB scaffold and Xience in people with Coronary Artery Lesion, run by European Cardiovascular Research Center at 44 sites in 9 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 10 inclusion and 28 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 14 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 44 sites in Germany, Italy, France, Netherlands, Poland and 4 more countries. 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.

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?

non-inferiority of the everolimus-eluting bioresorbable scaffold (Absorb) to the everolimus eluting cobalt chromium metallic stent (Xience) in target lesion failure (TLF) (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT02486068, 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 14 Aug 2018.
