NCT01939249

Brief Summary

BIOFLOW-IV is a prospective, international, multicenter, randomised controlled trial. The purpose of this trial is to compare the Biotronik Orsiro drug eluting stent system with the Xience Prime / Xience Xpedition (Xience)drug eluting stent system in de novo coronary lesions. The study is powered for non-inferiority with respect to Target Vessel Failure(TVF)at 12 months.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Target Vessel Failure

    12 months post index procedure

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Rate of clinically-driven target lesion revascularization (TLR)

    1-month, 6-month, 12-month, 2-year, 3-year, 4-year and 5-year

  • Rate of clinically-driven target vessel revascularization (TVR)

    1-month, 6-month, 12-month, 2-year, 3-year, 4-year and 5-year

  • Rate of target lesion failure (TLF), defined as composite of cardiac death, target vessel Q-wave or non-Q wave myocardial infarction (MI), emergent coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), any clinically-driven TLR

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 80 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Subject must provide written informed consent
  • The target reference vessel diameter (RVD) is ≥ 2.50 mm and ≤ 3.75 mm assessed either visually or by online QCA.
  • Target lesion length is ≤ 26 mm (assessed either visual estimate or by online QCA) and can be covered by one study stent
  • Single de novo lesion with ≥ 50% and \< 100% stenosis in up to 2 coronary arteries

You may not qualify if:

  • Subject has evidence of myocardial infarction within 72 hours prior to the index procedure
  • Planned intervention of non-target vessel(s) within 30 days after the index procedure
  • Planned intervention of target vessel(s) after the index procedure
  • Target lesion is located in the left main
  • Target lesion is located in or supplied by an arterial or venous bypass graft
  • Target lesion involves a side branch \> 2.0 mm in diameter by visual estimate or by online QCA
  • Proximal or distal to the target lesion located stenosis that might require future revascularization or impede run off
