Comparison of Bio-Active-Stent to the Everolimus-Eluting Stent in Acute Coronary Syndrome (BASE-ACS)
This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by The Hospital District of Satakunta, January 2009
Sponsored by: The Hospital District of Satakunta
Information provided by: The Hospital District of Satakunta
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00819923
  Purpose

The purpose of the trial is to compare the safety and effectiveness of bio-active-stent (BAS) and everolimus-eluting stent (EES) in patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome.


Condition Intervention Phase
Acute Coronary Syndrome
Device: Percutaneous coronary intervention
Phase III

Drug Information available for: Everolimus
U.S. FDA Resources
Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Treatment, Randomized, Single Blind (Subject), Active Control, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study
Official Title: Comparison of Bio-Active-Stent to the Everolimus-Eluting Stent in Acute Coronary Syndrome (A Prospective, Randomized and a Multicenter Clinical Study)

Further study details as provided by The Hospital District of Satakunta:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • The primary end point (MACE) is the composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI) and target lesion revascularization (TLR) during 18 months of follow-up. [ Time Frame: 18 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • All cause death, cardiac death, MI, stent thrombosis and TLR at 1, 6, 12 and 18 months, and at 2, 3, 4 and 5 years. [ Time Frame: 5 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Estimated Enrollment: 1050
Study Start Date: November 2008
Estimated Study Completion Date: December 2010
Estimated Primary Completion Date: June 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
1: Experimental
Patients receiving bio-active stent during the intervention
Device: Percutaneous coronary intervention
Intra-coronary stenting
2: Active Comparator
Patients receiving everolimus-eluting stent during the intervention
Device: Percutaneous coronary intervention
Intra-coronary stenting

Detailed Description:

The BASE-ACS trial is an academic study, which will be conceived and conducted as a multicenter (multi-country) study by experienced interventional cardiologists. This study is independent of commercial interests.

The purpose of the trial is to compare the safety and effectiveness of bio-active-stent (Titan-2®) and everolimus-eluting stent (Xience V®, Promus®) in patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome.

A total of 1050 patients will be included in the randomized study. The primary end point (MACE) is the composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction and target lesion revascularization during 18 months of follow-up. Enrollment of patients will start in November 2008 and end in 2009.
