Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

In the era of bare metal stent (BMS), the restenosis rate was about 25%. The introduction of drug-eluting stent (DES) reduces restenosis rate to 4%-10%. Neointimal hyperplasia and restenosis remain to be problems after DES implantation. Besides, DES causes an increase in uncovered struts, late stent thrombosis, neoatherosclerosis, and heterogeneous neointima. Diabetes mellitus (DM) results in increased risk for atherosclerosis, in-stent restenosis, neoatherosclerosis and late-stent thrombosis. Nicorandil, a hybrid of adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium (K-ATP) channel opener and nitrates, has been shown to reduce target vessel revascularization after stent implantation, target lesion revascularization after rotational atherectomy, and restenosis in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Intracoronary optical coherence tomography(OCT) has emerged as a high-resolution imaging method for analysis of neointima that grows over the stent. We aim to examine the effect of nicorandil on the neointima after coronary DES implantation in patients with unstable angina and DM.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Neointimal thickness (in μm)
Time Frame: 9 month
Neointimal thickness is defined as the distance between the stent strut and lumen surface.
9 month
Neointimal area
Time Frame: 9 month
Stent and lumen areas will be measured, and neointimal area is calculated as stent area minus lumen area.
9 month

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
