Registered outcomes52

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryNumber of Cardiac Death/TV-MI/ID-TLR (TLF)1 year
TLF is defined as composite of Cardiac Death, Myocardial Infarction (per protocol-defined MI definition), attributable to Target Vessel (TV-MI), or Ischemic-Driven Target Lesion Revascularization (ID-TLR).
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Powered Secondary Endpoint: Angina1 yearAngina is defined as the first adverse event resulting in the site diagnosis of angina.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Powered Secondary Endpoint: All Revascularization1 year
This powered secondary endpoint is intended to assess all revascularization at 1 year and test for superiority of Absorb BVS to XIENCE. All revascularizations are comprised of TLR, TVR excluding TLR, and non-TVR.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Powered Secondary Endpoint: Ischemia Driven Target Vessel Revascularization (ID-TVR)1 yearThis powered secondary endpoint is intended to assess all ID-TVR at 1 year and test for superiority of Absorb BVS to XIENCE.
SecondaryAcute Success- Device Success (Lesion Level Analysis)On day 0 (the day of procedure)
Successful delivery and deployment of the study scaffold/stent at the intended target lesion and successful withdrawal of the delivery system with attainment of final in-scaffold/stent residual stenosis of less than 30% by quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) (by visual estimation if QCA unavailable). When bailout scaffold/stent is used, the success or failure of the bailout scaffold/stent delivery and deployment is not one of the criteria for device success.
SecondaryAcute Success: Procedural Success (Subject Level Analysis)On day 0 (the day of procedure)
Achievement of final in-scaffold/stent residual stenosis of less than 30% by QCA (by visual estimation if QCA unavailable) with successful delivery and deployment of at least one study scaffold/stent at the intended target lesion and successful withdrawal of the delivery system for all target lesions without the occurrence of cardiac death, target vessel MI or repeat TLR during the hospital stay (maximum of 7 days).
SecondaryNumber of Death (Cardiac, Vascular, Non-cardiovascular)0 to 5 years
DEATH (Per ARC Circulation) : All deaths are considered cardiac unless an unequivocal non-cardiac cause can be established. Specifically, any unexpected death even in patients with coexisting potentially fatal non-cardiac disease (e.g. cancer, infection) should be classified as cardiac. Cardiac death (CD): Any death due to proximate cardiac cause (e.g. MI, low-output failure, fatal arrhythmia), unwitnessed death and death of unknown cause, all procedure related deaths including those related to concomitant treatment. Vascular death: Death due to non-coronary vascular causes such as cerebrovascular disease, pulmonary embolism, ruptured aortic aneurysm, dissecting aneurysm, or other vascular cause. Non-cardiovascular death: Any death not covered by the above definitions such as death caused by infection, malignancy, sepsis, pulmonary causes, accident, suicide or trauma.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With All Myocardial Infarction (MI)0 to 5 years* Attributable to target vessel (TV-MI) * Not attributable to target vessel (NTV-MI)
SecondaryNumber of Participants With All Target Lesion Revascularization (TLR)0 to 5 years
TLR is defined as any repeat percutaneous intervention of the target lesion or bypass surgery of the target vessel performed for restenosis or other complication of the target lesion. All TLR should be classified prospectively as ischemia driven (ID-TLR) or not ischemia driven (NID-TLR) by the investigator prior to repeat angiography. The target lesion is defined as the treated segment from 5 mm proximal to the stent and to 5 mm distal to the stent.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With All Target Vessel Revascularization (TVR) Excluding Target Lesion Revascularization (TLR)0 to 5 years
TVR is defined as any repeat percutaneous intervention or surgical bypass of any segment of the target vessel. The target vessel is defined as the entire major coronary vessel proximal and distal to the target lesion which includes upstream and downstream branches and the target lesion itself.
