About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Multi-Center, Single-arm Trial of the Sirolimus-Eluting Iron Bioresorbable Coronary Scaffold System in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease: IRONMAN-III

A prospective, multi-center, single-arm trial to assess the safety and efficacy of the Sirolimus-Eluting Iron Bioresorbable Coronary Scaffold System (IBS) in treating patients with coronary artery disease.

Read the detailed description

IRONMAN-III is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm trial to assess the safety and efficacy of the Sirolimus-Eluting Iron Bioresorbable Coronary Scaffold System (IBS) in treating patients with coronary artery disease. A total of 1059 subjects (including subjects in IRONMAN-II randomized control trial) with coronary artery lesion(s) are intended to participate in this study. Clinical follow-up will be required at postoperative, 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, and 5 years. The primary endpoint is the rate of target lesion failure at 1 year.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of target lesion failure

    Target Lesion Failure (TLF), defined as the composited endpoints of cardiac death/Target Vessel Myocardial Infarction (TV-MI)/Ischemic-Driven Target Lesion Revascularization (ID-TLR).

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (11)

  1. Rate of Device Success

    Device Success is defined as: A visually estimated diameter stenosis of < 30% after implantation of the device and TIMI flow of III.

    Measured: Immediately post-procedure

  2. Rate of Lesion Success

    Lesion Success is defined as: The attainment of visual residual stenosis < 30% and TIMI flow of III after any intervention in target lesion.

    Measured: Immediately post-procedure

  3. Rate of Clinical Success

    Clinical Success is defined as: lesion success, AND there is no major adverse cardiac events in the hospitalization period.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sirolimus-Eluting Iron Bioresorbable Coronary Scaffold System in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Biotyx Medical (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. at 1 site in China.

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 9 inclusion and 45 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Dec 2025. 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 China. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Rate of target lesion failure (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 NCT05205499.

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 10 Dec 2025.
