About

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of a new version of a coronary artery stent for treating blockages in the arteries supplying blood to the heart muscle. The Amaranth Medical MAGNITUDE scaffold releases a drug (sirolimus) to reduce the likelihood of the treated blood vessel developing a new blockage. In addition, the scaffold dissolves away over time, leaving no permanent implant after the blood vessel has healed.

Full description

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the AmM MAGNITUDE Bioresorbable Drug-Eluting Coronary Scaffold for use in the treatment of up to two different de novo native coronary artery lesions in patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention. The scaffold is a single-use device comprised of a balloon-expandable, intracoronary drug coated scaffold pre-mounted on a rapid-exchange delivery catheter. The scaffold is made of Poly-L-Lactide (PLLA) and is coated with a polymer-antiproliferative drug (sirolimus) matrix. The scaffold provides mechanical support similar to a metallic stent to the vessel while it is healing, and then gradually breaks down over time leaving no permanent implant in the treated vessel. Compared to prior versions of the scaffold, the new device has a thinner strut design (a wall thickness of 100 µm rather than 120 µm or 150 µm), but is otherwise identical.

The study design is a prospective, non-randomized, multi-center, non-inferiority trial. It will enroll a maximum of 70 patients from up to 20 investigational centers in Colombia and the European Union. Eligible patients who are at least 18 years of age diagnosed with symptomatic ischemic disease due to up to two different, de novo, stenotic lesions in native coronary arteries will be asked to participate in this study. After treatment with the investigational device, subjects will be followed for five years. Safety of the device will be evaluated using the incidence of target vessel failure during the follow-up period. Performance (efficacy) will be assessed using the in-scaffold late lumen loss measured by quantitative coronary angiography at nine months.

Inclusion criteria

General

Subject is ≥ 18 years of age and < 85 years of age.
Subject agrees not to participate in any other investigational device or drug study for a period of two years following the index procedure. Questionnaire-based studies, or other studies that are non-invasive and do not require investigational devices or medications are allowed.
Subject (or their legally authorized representative) provides written informed consent prior to any study-related procedure, using the form approved by the local Ethics Committee.
Subject has:
1. evidence of myocardial ischemia (e.g., stable angina [Canadian Cardiovascular Society 1, 2, 3, or 4] or unstable angina [Braunwald Class 1-3, B-C], or silent ischemia with supporting imaging studies [ETT, SPECT, stress echocardiography, or Cardiac CT]), or
2. low or intermediate risk NSTEMI, or
3. evidence of myocardial ischemia in a coronary territory previously affected by STEMI as long as the lesion fulfills the angiographic inclusion criteria and the intervention performed ≥ 3 months following the STEMI.
Subject is an acceptable candidate for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
Patient agrees to complete all protocol required follow-up visits, including angiograms.

Angiographic

Patient indicated for elective stenting of up to two de novo native coronary artery lesions.
If two lesions are to be treated, they must either be located in two separate epicardial vessels (side branches are considered separate vessels) or if located within a single epicardial vessel be separated by ≥ 15 mm of angiographically normal vessel.
If an elective percutaneous intervention for two different lesions is planned, one of the following situations must apply:
1. If both lesions are suitable for stenting with the MAGNITUDE™ scaffold, both lesions can be treated during the same procedure. In case a staging strategy is chosen, no minimum period between the staged interventions is required. In either strategy, the distal lesion must be intended to be treated first and before the proximal lesion.
2. If one lesion is intended to be treated with a litmus-based metallic DES and the second lesion is a study lesion (e.g., suitable for stenting with the MAGNITUDE™ scaffold), the two lesions must be located in two different epicardial vessels (side branches are considered separate vessels). Both lesions can be treated during the same procedure. In case a staging strategy is chosen, no minimum period between the staged interventions is required. However, all of the following conditions must apply:
  - Non-study lesion must be successfully treated without clinically significant complications prior to treatment of the study lesion.
  - Non-study lesion must be ≤ 30 mm in length.
  - Reference vessel diameter for the non-study lesion must be ≥ 2.75 mm by QCA.
  - Non-study lesion does not involve left main stenting, bifurcation stenting, chronic total occlusion, or high thrombotic burden.
Each study lesion (e.g., suitable for stenting with the MAGNITUDE™ scaffold) must measure ≤ 14 mm in length by on-line QCA.
Each study lesion (e.g., suitable for stenting with the MAGNITUDE™ scaffold) must be located in a native coronary artery with a diameter (average of distal and proximal to lesion by IVUS) of 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm.
Each study lesion (e.g., suitable for stenting with the MAGNITUDE™ scaffold) must be in a major artery/branch with a visually estimated diameter stenosis of ≥ 50% and < 100% with a Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow of ≥ 1.
