Study of Oral Rapamycin Plus Bare Metal Stents vs Drug Eltuting Stents

In a previous randomized comparison oral sirolimus plus bare metal stent compared to bare metal stent implantation alone demonstrated at one year of follow up a significant reduction of angiographic and clinical parameters of restenosis (ANMAT resolution number 3366 from June 2004 and Rodriguez A et al JACC,2006,47,1522-1529). In addition previous reported registries from our group with Drug Eluting Stents showed similar amount of reduction in clinical parameters (not angiographic)of restenosis (ERACI III, Rodriguez A et al EuroIntervention 2006,2:53-60). Taking in account that 8.3% of patients treated with oral rapamycin plus Bare Metal Stents(ORAR II Trial JACC 2006)and 8.8% of patients treated with DES developed clinical restenosis (ERACI III Registry, EuroIntervention 2006) the investigators sought to compare differences in overall cost with both revascularization strategies at 1, 2, 3 and 5 years of follow up assuming that safety and efficacy clinical end points would be similar.

About this study

Patients with de novo lesions treated in different Institutions in Buenos Aires Argentina were randomized to treat with oral sirolimus plus bare metal stent implantation (100 patients) or DES(100 patients).

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Indication of revascularization
  • De novo lesions
  • Native vessels
  • Suitable for stent placement

Exclusion criteria

  • Acute myocardial infarction within the last 24 hours
  • In stent restenosis
  • Previous percutaneous coronary intervention within the last 6 months

Treatment and study plan

Oral sirolimus

Drug

Oral sirolimus given orally during 14 days plus bare metal stent implantation was compared with DES.Oral sirolimus was given as bolus of 10 mg started day before intervention followed by 3mg per day during 13 days after PCI. 180 mg of Diltiazem was added during oral administration of sirolimus .

Other names: Oral rapamycine

Drug eluting stent

Device

Any Drug eluting stent

Other names: DES=Drug Eluting Stents), PES (Paclitaxel Eluting Stent), SES (Sirolimus eluting stent), ZES (Zotarolimus eluting stent)

Primary outcomes

  1. Differences in Costs Between Two Revascularization Strategies for de Novo Coronary Lesions.

    Time frame: Follow up will be conducted by the coordinating Center at 18 months of follow up

    Overall costs expressed in US dollars at 18 months of follow up between Oral Sirolimus Plus BMS vs DES implantation in denovo coronary lesions.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACCE)

    Time frame: 18 Months

    Death from any cause, myocardial infarction and stroke. Safety was analyzed as MACCE (major adverse cardiovascular events) including death, MI and stroke.

  2. Target Vessel Revascularization (TVR)

    Time frame: 18 months

    Efficacy end point was TVR as revasacularization of the treated vessel.
