Cobra II Study: Use of the Cobra™ Cobalt Super Alloy Coronary Stent System in the Treatment of Coronary Artery Disease

The Cobra II Study: Use of the Cobra™ Cobalt Super Alloy Coronary Stent System in the Treatment of Coronary Artery Disease

To demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the Cobra Cobalt Super Alloy Balloon-Expandable Coronary Stent System for the treatment of de novo and restenotic (previously unstented) lesions in native coronary arteries in subjects with coronary artery disease (CAD) having a reference vessel diameter (RVD) between 2.5 - 4.0 mm and a lesion length ≤ 26 mm amenable to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with a single stent in subjects with symptomatic ischemic heart disease.

Study Overview

• Status: Unknown
• Conditions: Coronary Artery Disease
• Intervention / Treatment: Device: PCI with the Cobra™ Cobalt Super Alloy Coronary Stent System

Detailed Description

Safety and Efficacy will be demonstrated by the rate of Target vessel failure (TVF), defined as cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction (MI) [Q wave or non-Q wave], or clinically driven target vessel revascularization (TVR) by percutaneous or surgical methods within 270 days of the post-stent placement procedure.

Additionally, Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE)at 30, 180 and 270 days defined as a composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction (MI) (Q wave and non-Q wave), emergent bypass surgery, or clinically driven target lesion revascularization (TLR) [percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)]will be documented.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

• The subject is ≥ 18 years old;
• Subject is eligible for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), stent placement, and emergent coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery;
• Subject has clinical evidence of ischemic heart disease, stable or unstable angina or silent ischemia;
• The subject has a documented left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 30%;
• The subject or legal representative has been informed of the clinical study and the required follow-up procedures and must provide written informed consent using a form that is reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board/Ethics Committee (IRB/EC) for the clinical site;
• Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days before treatment;
• Subject must agree to comply with the required follow-up procedures (including antiplatelet regimen) to the best of their ability, be geographically available for all study follow-up procedures and visits and not have a known medical condition that precludes completion of the required follow-up visits;
• The lesion is either de novo or restenotic (previously unstented) in nature, located in a native coronary artery AND is ≥ 50% and < 100% stenosed by visual estimate or on-line QCA;
• The target vessel reference diameter ≥ 2.5mm and ≤ 4mm by visual estimate and is appropriate for treatment with available stent diameters of 2.5 mm, to 4.0 mm;
• The lesion length is ≤ 26 mm and able to accommodate placement of a single stent;
• The target lesion is a minimum of 15 mm from any previously placed stent; AND
• The target vessel must have a Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow ≥ 2

Exclusion Criteria:

• The subject has a known hypersensitivity or contraindication to aspirin, heparin and bivalirudin, ticlopidine and clopidogrel, cobalt, nickel, chromium, molybdenum, or a sensitivity to contrast media, which cannot be adequately pre-medicated;
• A platelet count < 100,000 cells/mm³ or > 700,000 cells/mm³, or a WBC < 3,000 cells/mm³;
• A creatinine level > 2.5 mg/dL within 7 days prior to the index procedure;
• Evidence of an acute myocardial infarction (MI) within 72 hours of the intended treatment (defined as: Q wave (QWMI) or any elevation of creatine kinase myocardial-band (CK-MB) isoenzyme elevated above the Institution's upper limit of normal;
• Any previous PCI (with or without stent) of the target vessel within 30 days prior to the index procedure;
• Previous stent placement anywhere in the target lesion;
• Previous drug eluting stent (DES) deployment anywhere in the target vessel;
• The subject requires staged procedure of any non-target vessel within 30 days post-procedure;
• The subject requires staged procedure of the target vessel within 9 months post-procedure;
• The target lesion requires treatment with a device other than PTCA prior to stent placement (including, but not limited to, cutting balloon, directional coronary atherectomy, excimer laser, rotational atherectomy, thrombectomy, etc.;
• History of a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) within the previous 6 months;
• Active peptic ulcer or upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding within the previous 6 months;
• History of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy or will refuse blood transfusions;
• A known concurrent medical condition resulting in a life expectancy of less than 12 months;
• Any previous or planned treatment of the target vessel with anti-restenotic therapies including, but not limited to brachytherapy;
• The subject is currently participating in another investigational device or drug study and has not completed the primary endpoint(s) follow-up phase of that study at least 30 days prior to enrollment in this trial; or interferes with the current trial endpoints; or the subject has previously been enrolled in the study;
• The subject has a known medical condition that will cause them to be non-compliant with the study protocol or confound the data interpretation;
• The target vessel has evidence of thrombus or other lesions having a > 60% stenosis by visual estimate or on-line QCA;
• Target vessel exhibiting multiple lesions with greater than 60% diameter stenosis outside of a range of 5 mm proximal and distal to the target lesion based on visual estimate or on-line QCA;
