Randomized Comparison of Abluminus DES+ Sirolimus-Eluting Stents Versus Everolimus-Eluting Stents in Coronary Artery Disease Patients With Diabetes Mellitus Global (ABILITY)

March 24, 2023 updated by: Concept Medical Inc.

ABILITY Diabetes Global

To compare in diabetic patients eligible for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with minimal exclusion criteria, the efficacy and safety of Abluminus DES+ sirolimus- eluting stents (SES) versus XIENCE Everolimus-Eluting Stents (EES). At least 40% of patients are expected to be affected by multivessel coronary artery disease and 30% with acute coronary syndrome

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This study aims to determine which DES will best treat the diabetic population. Specifically, the research question of this trial is to evaluate the use of a novel sirolimus-eluting stent coated with drug-eluting polymer after crimping on the balloon as compared to the standard-of-care EES in the treatment of de novo coronary artery disease in patients with diabetes mellitus. ABILITY is a prospective, multi-center, multinational, randomized, open label, 2-arm parallel group, post-approval study.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Rate of Ischemia-driven TLR
Time Frame: 1 year FU
powered for non-inferiority and sequentially superiority
1 year FU
Rate of Target lesion failure TLF
Time Frame: 1 year FU, powered for non-inferiority
composite of cardiovascular death, target vessel myocardial infarction [MI], or ischemia driven target lesion revascularization [idTLR])
1 year FU, powered for non-inferiority

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Safety composite endpoint
Time Frame: 1 year (non-inferiority)
Safety composite endpoint of the occurrence of cardiovascular death and target-vessel myocardial infarction (MI)
1 year (non-inferiority)
co-primary TLR endpoint
Time Frame: 2 Year FU
In case the co-primary TLR endpoint (TLR for non-inferiority) will be demonstrated at 1 year, then the occurrence of ischemia-driven TLR at 2-year FU will be evaluated (efficacy endpoint - superiority)
2 Year FU
Composite of cardiovascular death, target vessel MI and ischemia-driven TLR (TLF)
Time Frame: 1 year FU

Cardiovascular death is defined as death resulting from cardiovascular causes. The following categories may be collected:

  1. Death caused by acute MI
  2. Death caused by sudden cardiac, including unwitnessed, death
  3. Death resulting from heart failure
  4. Death caused by stroke
  5. Death caused by cardiovascular procedures
  6. Death resulting from cardiovascular hemorrhage
  7. Death resulting from other cardiovascular cause Any MI not clearly attributable to a non-target vessel will be considered as target-vessel MI.

    • Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) related MI is termed type 4a MI.
    • Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) related MI is termed type 5 MI. Revascularization is clinically driven if the target lesion diameter stenosis is > 50% by quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) and the subject has clinical or functional ischemia which cannot be explained by another native coronary or bypass graft lesion.
1 year FU
Bleeding
Time Frame: 2 year
Bleeding BARC 2 or greater
2 year

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Composite of cardiovascular death, target vessel MI and ischemia-driven TLR (TLF)
Time Frame: 2 year FU

Cardiovascular death is defined as death resulting from cardiovascular causes. Any MI not clearly attributable to a non-target vessel will be considered as target-vessel MI.

Revascularization is clinically driven if the target lesion diameter stenosis is > 50% by quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) and the subject has clinical or functional ischemia which cannot be explained by another native coronary or bypass graft lesion.

2 year FU
Occurrence of cardiovascular death and target-vessel myocardial infarction (MI)
Time Frame: 2 year

Cardiovascular death is defined as death resulting from cardiovascular causes. The following categories may be collected:

  1. Death caused by acute MI
  2. Death caused by sudden cardiac, including unwitnessed, death
  3. Death resulting from heart failure
  4. Death caused by stroke
  5. Death caused by cardiovascular procedures
  6. Death resulting from cardiovascular hemorrhage
  7. Death resulting from other cardiovascular cause. Any MI not clearly attributable to a non-target vessel will be considered as target-vessel MI.

    • Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) related MI is termed type 4a MI.
    • Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) related MI is termed type 5 MI.
2 year
All-cause mortality
Time Frame: up to 2 years from procedure
all deaths are considered cardiovascular unless an alternate cause is unequivocally established, even among subjects with serious noncardiac comorbidities.
up to 2 years from procedure
Stroke
Time Frame: up to 2 years from procedure
according to Neuro-ARC stroke/TIA criteria
up to 2 years from procedure
Stent thrombosis
Time Frame: 2 year
defined for grade and timing according to the Academic Research Consortium2
2 year
Technical success
Time Frame: 2 year
Technical success is defined as the ability to cross the occluded segment with both a wire and a balloon, and successfully open the artery; the restoration of antegrade TIMI flow 2 or 3 and a <30% residual stenosis. (As applies to chronic total occlusion - CTO - lesions)
2 year
Clinical procedural success
Time Frame: 2 year

In the case of percutaneous intervention for obstructive lesions, procedural success is defined as the achievement of a final residual diameter stenosis < 30% by angiography at the end of the procedure (and without flow limiting arterial dissection and hemodynamically significant translesional pressure gradient) without any in-hospital major adverse events (death, acute onset of limb ischemia, need for urgent/emergent vascular surgery). The balloon inflation and/or stent placement may be preceded by use of adjunctive devices (e.g., percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy, directional or rotational atherectomy, laser, chronic total occlusion crossing device).

Ideally, the assessment of the residual stenosis at the end of the procedure should be performed by an angiographic core laboratory.

2 year
Occurrence of ischemia-driven TLR
Time Frame: 2 year FU
Revascularization is clinically driven if the target lesion diameter stenosis is > 50% by quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) and the subject has clinical or functional ischemia which cannot be explained by another native coronary or bypass graft lesion.
2 year FU
Target vessel revascularization (TVR)
Time Frame: up to 2 years
TLR is a repeat percutaneous intervention of the target lesion or bypass surgery of the target vessel performed for restenosis or other complication of the target lesion.
up to 2 years
