Evaluation of a new biodegradable polymer coronary stent for heart disease

Comparison Between Abluminal Biodegradable Polymer Ultrathin Sirolimus-eluting Stent and Durable-polymer Everolimus-eluting Stent (GENOSS Randomized Clinical Trial)

Not applicable Interventional Samsung Medical Center · NCT05444452

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.

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.

Who should consider this trial

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.

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.

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 performed: 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.
