Efficiency of a New Therapy to Treat Stenosis of Coronary Vessels in Comparison With Two Already Admitted Therapies

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The aim of the study is to examine the efficacy of Paclitaxel injection after a stent implantation in patients with stenosis in native coronary arteries to prevent restenosis in comparision with two admitted therapies.

Detailed Description
-----------------
The aim of the study is to examine whether in patients with stable or instable Angina pectoris and/or documented myocardial ischemia in the presence of de-novo stenosis in native coronary arteries with a degree of stenosis between 50 % and 99 % an additional local administration of paclitaxel after implantation of a conventional stent is superior to the implantation of a conventional stent alone with respect to late lumen loss (LLL). In case of superiority it will be examined whether an additional local administration of paclitaxel after implantation of a conventional stent is not inferior to the implantation of a paclitaxel-eluting stent with respect to late lumen-luss. Is this the case, superiority will be tested.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| The primary objective is the angiographical determination of the late lumen loss in the stent and/or persistent area, 6 month after stent implantation. |  | week 26 +/- 14 days | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| The angiographical determination of the binary restenosis rate, defined as diameter stenosis of at least 50 % in the stent and / or persistent area, 6 months after stent implantation. |  | week 26 +/- 14 days | 
| The angiographical determination of the degree of stenosis, defined as percentage diameter stenosis in the stent and /or persistent area, 6 months after stent implantation. |  | week 26, +/- 14 days | 
| Tthe angiographical determination of the minimal lumen diameter in the stent and / or persistent area, 6 months after stent implantation. |  | week 26, +/- 14 days | 
| The 6 months after stent implantation determined combined endpoint of abrupt and subabrupt closure of the target vessel, target lesion revascularisation and major adverse cardiac events including myocardial infarction and death. |  | week 26, +/-14 days |
