ABSORB III Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT)

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The ABSORB III RCT is a prospective randomized, single-blind, multi-center trial. It is the pivotal trial to support the US pre-market approval (PMA) of Absorb™ Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold (BVS). The ABSORB III includes additional two trials i.e. ABSORB III PK (pharmacokinetics) sub-study and ABSORB IV RCT trial which are maintained under one protocol because both trial designs are related, ABSORB IV is the continuation of ABSORB III and the data from ABSORB III and ABSORB IV will be pooled to support the ABSORB IV primary endpoint. Both the trials will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Absorb BVS.

Detailed Description
-----------------
ABSORB III RCT: A. Primary Objective: The pivotal trial to support the US pre-market approval (PMA) of Absorb BVS. ABSORB III will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Absorb BVS System compared to the XIENCE in the treatment of subjects, including those with diabetes mellitus, with ischemic heart disease caused by up to two de novo native coronary artery lesions in separate epicardial vessels. B. Powered Secondary Objectives: Lead-In Phase Objective: To evaluate the applicability and transferability of the didactic Absorb BVS physician training plan to US clinical practice. The lead-in phase is a non-randomized, single-arm, open label group of up to 50 subjects treated with Absorb BVS at up to 35 US sites. The Lead-In phase will enroll/register subjects prior to the randomization phase of ABSORB III. The Lead-In Phase allows the treatment of up to two de novo native coronary artery lesions in different epicardial vessels with reference vessel diameter (RVD) ≥ 2.75 mm to ≤ 3.25 mm and lesion lengths ≥ 8 to ≤ 14 mm. Imaging Cohort Objective: To evaluate long-term vascular function and patency of the Absorb BVS treated segments compared to XIENCE treated segments in the treatment of subjects with ischemic heart disease caused by up to two de novo native coronary artery lesions in separate epicardial vessels. The imaging cohort-phase is a prospective, randomized (2:1 Absorb BVS to XIENCE), single-blind, multi-center trial, registering approximately 200 subjects. This includes 150 subjects for the angiographic/intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) endpoints analysis and approximately 50 subjects for optical coherence tomography (OCT) endpoints analysis. The 200 subjects are separate from the 2000 subjects included in the primary analysis. Data from two powered secondary endpoints from this cohort will support label claims of superiority of Absorb BVS as compared to XIENCE specific to vasomotion and late lumen enlargement. All other subjects in ABSORB III unless specified will receive treatment of up to two de novo native coronary artery lesions in different epicardial vessels with RVD ≥ 2.5 mm to ≤ 3.75 mm and lesion lengths ≤ 24 mm.

Subject or a legally authorized representative must provide written Informed Consent prior to any study related procedure, per site requirements. Subject must have evidence of myocardial ischemia (e.g., stable, unstable angina, post-infarct angina or silent ischemia) suitable for elective PCI. Subjects with stable angina or silent ischemia and < 70% diameter stenosis must have objectives sign of ischemia as determined by one of the following, echocardiogram, nuclear scan, ambulatory ECG or stress ECG). In the absence of noninvasive ischemia, fractional flow reserve (FFR) must be done and indicative of ischemia. Subject must be an acceptable candidate for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Female subject of childbearing potential who does not plan pregnancy for up to 1 year following the index procedure.

Female subject is not breast-feeding at the time of the screening visit and will not be breast-feeding for up to 1 year following the index procedure. Subject agrees to not participate in any other investigational or invasive clinical study for a period of 1 year following the index procedure. Angiographic Inclusion Criteria: One or two de novo target lesions: If there is one target lesion, a second non-target lesion may be treated but the non-target lesion must be present in a different epicardial vessel, and must be treated first with a successful, uncomplicated result prior to randomization of the target lesion. If two target lesions are present, they must be present in different epicardial vessels and both must satisfy the angiographic eligibility criteria. The definition of epicardial vessels means the LAD, LCX and RCA and their branches. Thus, the patient must not have lesions requiring treatment in e.g. both the LAD and a diagonal branch. Target lesion(s) must be located in a native coronary artery with a visually estimated or quantitatively assessed %DS of ≥ 50% and < 100% with a TIMI flow of ≥ 1 and one of the following: stenosis ≥ 70%, an abnormal functional test (e.g., fractional flow reserve, stress test), unstable angina or post-infarct angina.
