The PLATINUM Clinical Trial to Assess the PROMUS Element Stent System for Treatment of De Novo Coronary Artery Lesions

Boston Scientific Corporation1,530 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the PROMUS Element™ Everolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System for the treatment of patients with up to 2 de novo atherosclerotic coronary artery lesions. This clinical trial compares outcomes in patients treated with PROMUS Element to those in patients treated with a different everolimus-eluting coronary stent. The lesions are of average length in average-sized vessels ("workhorse"). A companion sub-trial evaluates outcomes in smaller vessels (SV) and another sub-trial evaluates outcomes in longer lesions (LL).

The wide-spread use of DES has evolved as standard of care in de novo lesions. The proposed study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of PROMUS Element for the treatment of de novo atherosclerotic lesions in native coronary arteries. The study design is consistent with the draft guidance for industry titled, "Coronary Drug-Eluting Stents - Nonclinical and Clinical Studies" (March 2008). During the trial, thienopyridines must be administered according to the 2007 American College of Cardiology (ACC)/American Heart Association (AHA)/Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) guidelines, which recommended that clopidogrel (75 mg daily) or ticlopidine (250 mg twice daily) be prescribed after stent implantation for at least 6 months in all patients, and for at least 12 months in patients who are not at high risk of bleeding. For sites in the United States, the use of prasugrel is not allowed as part of the PLATINUM Clinical Trial. For sites in other countries, prasugrel may be prescribed according to its approved dosing in countries in which it is available. For patients taking aspirin daily a loading dose is recommended; for patients who have not been taking aspirin daily, aspirin must be administered as a loading dose. Patients continue to take aspirin indefinitely to reduce the risk of thrombosis. The main study is the PLATINUM Workhorse Randomized Controlled Trial, which is registered under NCT00823212. The clinical protocol includes two companion sub-trials with smaller vessels (PLATINUM SV) and longer lesions (PLATINUM LL) plus a Pharmacokinetics sub-trial (PLATINUM PK). The three sub-trials are registered under separate NCT numbers.

Purpose

Interventions

PROMUS Coronary Stent SystemDEVICE

PROMUS is a device/drug combination product composed of two components, a device (coronary stent system including a cobalt chromium stent platform) and a drug product (a formulation of everolimus contained in a polymer coating).

PROMUS Element Coronary Stent SystemDEVICE

PROMUS Element is a device/drug combination product composed of two components, a device (coronary stent system including a platinum chromium stent platform) and a drug product (a formulation of everolimus contained in a polymer coating that is the same as on the PROMUS \[XIENCE V\] stent).

AspirinDRUG

Patients are required to take aspirin indefinitely after stent implant. It is recommended that aspirin 162-325 mg daily be given for at least 6 months after stent placement and that aspirin 75-162 mg daily be given indefinitely thereafter.

ThienopyridineDRUG

Patients must be treated with one of the following thienopyridines for at least 6 months following the index procedure: clopidogrel 75 mg daily; or ticlopidine 250 mg twice daily; or prasugrel (outside the United States and if approved at the time of the procedure). If used, the prescribed dose should be in accordance with approved country-specific labeling. In patients not at high risk of bleeding, thienopyridine treatment should continue for at least 12 months after stent implant.
