Percentage of Participants Who Experienced Target Lesion Failure (TLF)

The primary endpoint for this study is the percentage of participants who experienced Target Lesion Failure (TLF) during the 12 months post-procedure.

Population: Event-specific adjusted intent to treat (ITT) population: All randomized participants excluding those with follow-up less than 330 days and without documented events during the 360 days post procedure

ArmMeasureValue (NUMBER)
ELITE™Percentage of Participants Who Experienced Target Lesion Failure (TLF)5.36 Percentage of participants
CYPHER®Percentage of Participants Who Experienced Target Lesion Failure (TLF)2.78 Percentage of participants
Comparison: Sample sizes of 1,061 from the ELITE™ group and 531 from the CYPHER® group were planned to achieve 90 percent power at a 2.5 percent significance level using an one-sided equivalence test, assuming a 10 percent TLF rate in each group and the maximum allowable rate difference between the groups being 5 percent. The total sample size was increased to 1,770 patients to account for an approximately 90 percent compliance to clinical follow-up.
