Brief summary

CYPRESS: A Prospective,Randomized,Multi-Center,Double-Blind Trial to Assess the Effectiveness and Safety of Different Durations of Dual Anti-Platelet Therapy (DAPT) in Subjects Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with the CYPHER® Sirolimus-eluting Coronary Stent (CYPHER® Stent)

Detailed description

During Phase I (non-randomized phase) of this study, the primary objective is to assess the rate of target lesion failure in subjects implanted with the CYPHER® stent and receiving dual antiplatelet therapy for 12 months. During Phase II (randomized phase) of this study, the primary objective is to assess safety (major and minor bleeding), MACCE, and ST rates in subjects treated with dual antiplatelet therapy for 12 or 30 months following CYPHER® stent implantation. \*Subjects treated with the CYPHER® 2.25mm stent will be followed through 60 months. \*\*The last 500 patients enrolled will not be eligible for randomization.

Interventions

This population consists of subjects enrolled in the study who are free from death, MI, stroke, repeat coronary revascularization, major bleeding, and ST 12 months after stent implantation and who are compliant with 12 months of dual antiplatelet therapy following stent implantation and who are subsequently randomized to receive 18 months of thienopyridine treatment in addition to aspirin.

Rate of Lesion SuccessFrom post- procedure to hospital discharge, up to 39 daysLesion success is defined as the attainment of \< 50% residual stenosis (by Quantitative coronary angiography (QCA)) using any percutaneous method.
Rate of Procedure SuccessFrom post- procedure to hospital discharge, up to 39 daysProcedure success is defined as the achievement of a final diameter stenosis of \< 50% (by QCA) using any percutaneous method, without the occurrence of death, Myocardial infarction (MI), or repeat coronary revascularization of the target lesion during the hospital stay.
Rate of Clinically-driven Target Lesion Revascularization (TVR)12 MonthsDefined as any clinically-driven repeat percutaneous intervention of the target lesion or bypass surgery of the target vessel. Clinically-driven revascularizations are those in which the subject has a positive functional study, ischemic ECG changes at rest in a distribution consistent with the target vessel, or ischemic symptoms, and an in-lesion diameter stenosis ≥50% by QCA.

Early thrombosis is defined as composite thirty-day ischemic endpoint including death, Q-wave myocardial infarction, or subabrupt closure requiring revascularization.

Recruitment details

A total of 2509 patients were enrolled from August 28, 2009 to January 14, 2011 across 139 clinical sites in the Unites States.

Pre-assignment details

During the Phase I of this study, enrolled subjects were treated with at least one CYPHER® stent plus thienopyridine treatment and aspirin. During Phase II, approximately 1500 eligible subjects were randomized to either placebo or thienopyridine treatment. It is estimated that the Phase II results will be available for publishing by July 31, 2014.

Participants by arm

ArmCount
CYPHER® Stent
The CYPHER® Sirolimus-eluting Coronary Stent is a BX Velocity stent design and is laser cut from 316L stainless steel seamless tubing and electropolished. The stent design is intended to balance radial strength and closed cell architecture with longitudinal flexibility in both unexpanded and expanded forms. The design can be broken into two distinct components: the radial expansion ring segments and the flexible connectors in an alternating fashion.
