Reservoir-Based Polymer-Free Amphilimus-Eluting Stent Versus Polymer-Based Everolimus-Eluting Stent in Diabetic Patients

Phase 3
Conditions
Coronary Artery Disease
Diabetes Mellitus
Interventions
Device: Polymer-Based Everolimus-Eluting Stent
Device: Polymer-Free Amphilimus-Eluting Stent
Registration Number
NCT01710748
Lead Sponsor
Spanish Society of Cardiology
Brief Summary

This study is a prospective, randomized controlled, single blind, two-arm, multicenter clinical evaluation.

Diabetic patients (n=112) with de novo coronary artery disease will be randomized to one of the 2 treatment arms: 1) Reservoir-Based Polymer-Free Amphilimus-Eluting Stent or 2) Polymer-Based Everolimus-Eluting Stent.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Polymer-Free Amphilimus-Eluting Stent implantation is effective in reducing neointimal hyperplasia as compared to Polymer-Based Everolimus-Eluting Stent in diabetic patients, using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) as the primary imaging modality.

Detailed Description

In patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), drug eluting stents (DES) have been shown to be associated with greater neointimal suppression than bare-metal stents. However, there is an ongoing debate on the optimal drug-eluting stent in diabetic patients.

This study is a prospective, randomized controlled, single blind, two-arm, multicenter clinical evaluation.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Neointimal hyperplasia volume obstruction9 months

The primary endpoint is assessed by Optical Coherence Tomography. It is defined as neointimal hyperplasia volume (mm3) divided by the stent volume multiplied by 100.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of uncovered struts9 months

This endpoint is assessed by Optical Coherence Tomography. Struts are classified as uncovered if any part of the strut is visibly exposed to the lumen, or covered if a layer of tissue is visible over all the reflecting surfaces.

Cardiac death12 months

Death related to cardiac causes; if the cause of death cannot be determined, it will be also categorized as cardiac.

Probable or definite stent thrombosis12 months

Stent thrombosis is considered according to the Academic Research Consortium definitions

Target vessel failure12 months

Target vessel failure is defined as a composite endpoint of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction and clinically indicated revascularization of the target vessel.

Percentage of malapposed struts9 months

This endpoint is assessed by Optical Coherence Tomography. Apposition is assessed strut by strut by measuring the distance between the strut marker and the lumen contour. Struts with distance to lumen contour larger than the sum of strut + polymer thickness are considered malapposed. This results in incomplete strut apposition thresholds of 89 µm for the Xience Prime and 80 µm for the Cre8 stent. Struts located at the ostium of side branches, with no vessel wall behind, are excluded from the analysis of apposition.

Maximum percentage of NIH cross-sectional obstruction9 months

This endpoint is assessed by Optical Coherence Tomography. Percentage of NIH cross-sectional obstruction is defined as the NIH area (mm2) divided by the stent area multiplied by 100.
