About

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the SYNERGY™ Coronary Stent System for the treatment of subjects with atherosclerotic lesion(s) ≤ 34 mm in length (by visual estimate) in native coronary arteries ≥2.25 mm to ≤4.0 mm in diameter (by visual estimate)

Full description

The EVOLVE China clinical trial is designed to assess the safety and effectiveness of the SYNERGY™ Everolimus-Eluting Platinum Chromium Coronary Stent System for the treatment of subjects with atherosclerotic lesion(s) in native coronary arteries in China. The SYNERGY™ Stent System (Boston Scientific Corporation [BSC Corporation], Natick, Massachusetts, United States) is based on the well characterized Element™ stent platform and utilizes a bioabsorbable poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) polymer to deliver everolimus.

While SYNERGY is a new generation DES, the safety and effectiveness of the Element stent platform in combination with everolimus in the form of the PROMUS Element stent has been established in the PLATINUM Clinical Trial Program.The PROMUS Element Plus stent (control device) uses the same stent platform as PROMUS Element stent with a modified balloon component on the Stent Delivery System to improve overall system deliverability. In addition, the previous version of the SYNERGY stent, the SYNERGY First Human Use stent (SYNERGY FHU stent) has been investigated in the EVOLVE FHU trial which has completed its primary endpoint and demonstrated comparable safety and efficacy profile of SYNERGY FHU to PROMUS Element up to 1-year follow-up (28). SYNERGY has been approved by CE Mark.

Exclusion criteria

CE1. Subject has clinical symptoms and/or electrocardiogram (ECG) changes consistent with acute MI .
CE2. Subject with unstable angina or recent MI (within 1 week) must have CK/CK-MB or troponin documented prior to the procedure and are excluded if any of the following criteria are met at the time of the index procedure:
- If CK MB >2× upper limit of normal (ULN), the subject is excluded regardless of the CK Total.
- If CK Total >2× ULN, either CK-MB or troponin must be drawn and the subject is excluded if either CK-MB or troponin is abnormal.
- If neither CK Total or CK MB is drawn but troponin is, the subject is excluded if troponin >1× ULN and the subject has at least one of the following:
  - Subject has ischemic symptoms and ECG changes indicative of ongoing ischemia (e.g., >1 mm ST segment elevation or depression in consecutive leads or new left bundle branch block [LBBB])
  - Development of pathological Q waves in the ECG or
  - Imaging evidence of new loss of viable myocardium or new regional wall motion abnormality
