Brief summary

This study aims to demonstrate that the BioFreedom™ Cobalt Chromium Drug Coated Stent is non-inferior to the market authorized BioFreedom™ Stainless Steel Stent with respective to efficacy and shows a similar safety profile.

Detailed description

The BioFreedom™ QCA trial is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the BioFreedom™ CoCr DCS coronary stent system compared to the Biofreedom™ stainless steel DCS coronary stent system, in a randomized controlled trial on an all-comers patient population. The primary objective is to measure non-inferiority of the BioFreedom™ CoCr stent compared to BioFreedom™ DCS as measured by the difference in angiographically measured late lumen loss at 9 months, and the main secondary endpoint is to assess safety as measured by MACE and ST. Two hundred (200) patients will be randomized 1:1 to either stent, allowing for a direct comparison, and will be followed-up to 2 years to measure for late MACE and ST events.
