Evaluation of a new biodegradable polymer coronary stent for heart disease
Official title: Comparison Between Abluminal Biodegradable Polymer Ultrathin Sirolimus-eluting Stent and Durable-polymer Everolimus-eluting Stent (GENOSS Randomized Clinical Trial)
Run by Samsung Medical Center · NCT05444452 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new type of heart stent made from biodegradable material to see if it works better and is safer for people with coronary artery disease compared to a traditional stent.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 19 and older with stable coronary artery disease or acute coronary syndrome and significant stenosis suitable for stent implantation.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with known intolerance to the medications used in the stents or with life expectancy less than one year due to non-cardiac conditions may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of the Genoss biodegradable polymer ultrathin sirolimus-eluting stent compared to the durable-polymer everolimus-eluting Xience stent in patients with coronary artery disease. The study aims to address the risks of ischemic events associated with traditional drug-eluting stents by utilizing a newer generation stent designed to reduce inflammation and improve re-endothelialization. Participants will undergo stent implantation and be monitored for outcomes related to device-related failure and target lesion failure. The trial includes patients with stable coronary artery disease or acute coronary syndrome who meet specific eligibility criteria.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved outcomes and reduced complications for patients undergoing stent implantation for coronary artery disease.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown that second-generation drug-eluting stents, particularly those with biodegradable polymers, can provide better ischemic outcomes compared to first-generation stents.
