Condition(s) targeted: Coronary Heart Disease; Coronary Restenosis; Survival

Intervention: Oral sirolimus (Drug); Drug Eluting stent (Device)

Phase: Phase 4

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: Centro de estudios en Cardiologia Intervencionista

Summary

In a previous randomized comparison, oral sirolimus plus bare metal stents compared to bare metal stent implantation alone, demonstrated at one year of follow up a significant reduction of angiographic and clinical parameters of restenosis(ANMAT resolution number 3366 from June 2004 and Rodriguez A et al JACC,2006,47,1522-1529). In addition previous reported registries from our group with Drug Eluting Stents showed similar amount of reduction in clinical parameters (not angiographic)of restenosis (ERACI III, Rodriguez A et al EuroIntervention 2006,2: 53-60).Taking in account that 8. 3% of patients treated with oral rapamycin plus Bare Metal Stents (ORAR II Trial JACC 2006)and 8. 8% of patients treated with DES developed clinical restenosis(ERACI III Registry,EuroIntervention 2006)we sought to compare differences in overall cost with both revascularization strategies at one, two, three and five years of follow up assuming that safety and efficacy clinical end points would be similar.

Clinical Details

Official title: Phase 4 Study of Randomized Comparison Among Oral Rapamycin Plus Bare Metal Stents Versus Drug Eluting Stents in de Novo Coronary Lesions.

Study design: Health Services Research, Randomized, Open Label, Historical Control, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study

Primary outcome: Differences in procedural and follow up cost between Oral sirolimus plus BMS implantation versus and DES in de novo coronary lesions.

Secondary outcome: Death from any cause,myocardial infarction and stroke. Safety was analyzed as MACCE(major adverse cardiovascular events)including death,MI and stroke.Efficacy end point was Target Vessel and Target Lesion Revascularization

Detailed description: Patients with de novo lesions treated in different Institutions in Buenos Aires Argentina were randomized to treat with oral sirolimus plus bare metal stent implantation (100 patients) or DES(100 patients).

Eligibility

Minimum age: 18 Years. Maximum age: N/A. Gender(s): Both.

Criteria:

- Indication of revascularization

- De novo lesions

- Native vessels

- Suitable for stent placement

Exclusion Criteria:
