About this study

Official title: Fractional Flow Reserve-guided Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Plus Optimal Medical Treatment Versus Optimal Medical Treatment Alone in Patients with Stable Coronary Artery Disease - FAME II, a 10-year Follow-up Study.

The FAME-II trial was a prospective, multicenter, multinational, multi-continental, randomized clinical trial with an 'all comers' design.

The overall purpose of the FAME-II trial was to compare the clinical outcomes, safety and cost-effectiveness of FFR-guided PCI plus optimal medical treatment (OMT) versus OMT alone in patients with stable coronary artery disease and in whom both PCI and medical treatment can be considered on the basis of the presently existing scientific evidence.

Read more

FAME-II was conducted from 2009 to 2012 and 1-year, 2-year and 5-year results have been published.

The purpose of this 10-Year Follow-up is to evaluate the 10-year major adverse cardiac event rate (MACE, defined as all-cause death, documented myocardial infarction, unplanned hospitalization leading to urgent revascularization).

Patients will have to sign a specific informed consent for the present 10-year follow-up.

This study will be conducted for about approximately 6 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease, run by CoreAalst BV at 16 sites in 11 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 7 inclusion and 15 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 7 Jan 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 sites in United States, Czechia, Germany, Sweden, Belgium and 6 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?

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 rate of major adverse cardiac events after 10 years of follow-up (time frame: 10 years). 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 NCT06159231, 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 7 Jan 2025.
