Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the Orsiro Sirolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System in the treatment of subjects with up to three native de novo or restenotic (standard PTCA only) coronary artery lesions compared to the Xience coronary stent system.

Description:

The BIOTRONIK BIOFLOW-V clinical trial is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled trial combining data on the randomized subjects with data from two historical studies by employing a Bayesian approach.

Subjects with CAD that qualify for PCI with stenting will be screened per the protocol inclusion and exclusion criteria to achieve a total of up to 1,400 randomized subjects. Eligible subjects will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio, stratified by study center, to undergo percutaneous coronary revascularization with either the Orsiro Sirolimus Eluting Stent System (treatment group) or the Xience Everolimus Eluting Stent System (control group).

Subjects may receive treatment of up to three target lesions, one or two target lesions per target vessel, for a maximum of two target vessels. The target lesion(s) must be de novo or restenotic lesion(s) of ≤ 36 mm in length in native coronary artery(ies), with a reference vessel diameter of 2.25-4.0 mm. Treatment of restenotic lesions is allowed provided that the target lesion was previously treated with PTCA only. All treatment with study stents is to be performed during a single index procedure. Note: Concurrent treatment of non-target lesions during the index procedure is not allowed.

Randomized subjects will have clinical follow-up at 1 month, 6 months, 12 months and at 2, 3, 4 and 5 years following the index procedure.

To assess the non-inferiority of the Orsiro stent compared to the Xience stent, BIOFLOW-V randomized subjects will be combined with historical subjects from the BIOFLOW-II and BIOFLOW-IV randomized trials employing a Bayesian approach. Only subjects who meet all clinical and angiographic eligibility criteria of the BIOFLOW-V trial will be included in the analysis.

17. Subject has life expectancy of < 1 year.

18. Subject is participating in another investigational (medical device or drug) clinical study. Subjects may be concurrently enrolled in a post-market study, as long as the post-market study device, drug or protocol does not interfere with the investigational treatment or protocol of this study.

19. In the investigator's opinion, subject will not be able to comply with the follow-up requirements.

Subjects will be excluded from the trial if any of the target lesions/vessels meets any of the following angiographic criteria:

1. Target lesion is located within a saphenous vein graft or arterial graft.

2. Target lesion is a restenotic lesion that was previously treated with a bare metal or drug eluting stent (in-stent restenosis).

3. Target lesion has any of the following characteristics:

1. Lesion location is within the left main coronary artery, or within 3 mm of the origin of the left anterior descending (LAD) or left circumflex (LCX).

2. Involves a side branch of > 2.0 mm in diameter. Note: Lesions within 3 mm of the origin of the right coronary artery may be treated.

4. Target vessel/lesion is excessively tortuous/angulated or is severely calcified, that would prevent complete inflation of an angioplasty balloon. This assessment should be based on visual estimation.

5. Target vessel has angiographic evidence of thrombus.

6. Target lesion is totally occluded (100% stenosis).

7. Target vessel was treated with brachytherapy any time prior to the index procedure.
