Zotarolimus-eluting Endeavor Sprint Stent in Uncertain DES Candidates (ZEUS) Study — ZEUS  

Coronary Artery Disease Clinical Trial

Official title: Zotarolimus-eluting Endeavor Sprint Stent in Uncertain DES Candidates (ZEUS) Study

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

To prospectively evaluate in a multicenter open label trial whether the use of zotarolimus-eluting ENDEAVOR Stent implantation in patients at low restenosis or at high bleeding or thrombotic risk will decrease the incidence of 12-month major adverse cardiac events (MACE) including overall death, any myocardial infarction (MI) or any target vessel revascularization (TVR).

Clinical Trial Description

The aim of this study is to conduct a multicenter, international, randomized trial to test whether the Endeavor stent is superior to BMS in terms of efficacy and safety in

1. Patients with coronary artery disease lesions at low risk of in-stent restenosis;

2. Patients at high risk for bleeding or carrying impossibility to comply with dual anti-platelet treatment at long-term.

3. Patients at high thrombosis risk due to systemic disorders or planned non-cardiac surgery within 12 months

As the use of DES in these two patient/lesion subsets is debated due to lack of evidence, patients fulfilling at least one of these three medical conditions qualify for bare metal stent implantation and physicians may believe DES to be even contra-indicated in such cases. The current protocol has been developed on purpose to address the value of the Endeavor Sprint stent, which differs in many aspects from other FDA approved DES, including fast and complete degree of strut coverage after implantation and quick release of active drug after deployment (~15 days) which may help decreasing the need for prolonged dual antiplatelet treatment down to 1 month as it is currently recommended for bare metal stent implantation. ;
