ABSORB III Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT)

Summary

The ABSORB III RCT is a prospective randomized, single-blind, multi-center trial. It is the pivotal trial to support the US pre-market approval (PMA) of Absorb™ Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold (BVS).

The ABSORB III includes additional two trials i.e. ABSORB III PK (pharmacokinetics) sub-study and ABSORB IV RCT trial which are maintained under one protocol because both trial designs are related, ABSORB IV is the continuation of ABSORB III and the data from ABSORB III and ABSORB IV will be pooled to support the ABSORB IV primary endpoint. Both the trials will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Absorb BVS.

Interventions

DEVICE

Absorb BVS

* Scaffold diameters: 2.5, 3.0 and 3.5 mm * Scaffold lengths: 8, 12, 18, and 28 mm The 3.0 x 18 mm Absorb BVS will be used for the Lead-In. Both the 8 mm and 12 mm lengths will be available for the 2.5/3.0 mm diameter Absorb BVS. Only the 12 mm length will be available for the 3.5 mm diameter. * The commercially approved CE marked device will be used in geographies where it is commercially available. The commercially approved CE marked 23mm Absorb BVS device will not be used in this study. Bioabsorbable drug eluting stent implantation for improving coronary luminal diameter in patients, including those with diabetes mellitus, with ischemic heart disease due to de novo native coronary artery lesions (length ≤ 24 mm) with a reference vessel diameter of ≥ 2.5 mm and ≤ 3.75 mm.

DEVICE

XIENCE

Commercially approved XIENCE Family Stent System, inclusive of XIENCE V, XIENCE PRIME, XIENCE Xpedition, XIENCE Alpine, XIENCE Pro (OUS only), and XIENCE ProX (OUS only). * Stent diameters: 2.5, 2.75, 3.0, 3.25, 3.5 and 4.0 mm * Stent lengths: 8, 12, 15, 18, 23, and 28 mm. The 3.25 mm is only available for XIENCE Xpedition * For geographies where these devices are commercially available, the investigational sties may use only their locally approved devices To improve coronary luminal diameter in patients, including those with diabetes mellitus, with ischemic heart disease due to de novo native coronary artery lesions (length ≤ 24 mm) with a reference vessel diameter of ≥ 2.5 mm and ≤ 3.75 mm.
