Summary
The aim of the TARGET-IV NA trial is to demonstrate the clinical non-inferiority of the Firehawk® rapamycin eluting stent system in comparison to currently approved 2nd generation DES for the treatment of subjects with ischemic heart disease (NSTEMI, recent STEMI (>24 hours from initial presentation and in whom enzyme levels have peaked), unstable angina, and stable coronary disease), with atherosclerotic target lesion(s) in coronary arteries with visually estimated reference vessel diameters ≥2.25 mm and ≤4.0 mm.
Description
TARGET-IV NA trial is a prospective, multicenter, 1:1 randomized (Firehawk® vs. 2nd generation DES), trial.
Sub studies:
Angiographic sub study: The first approximately 200 consecutive consenting patients will be enrolled in the angiographic substudy. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) substudy: The first approximately 50 consecutive consenting subjects will be enrolled in the OCT substudy.
Clinical follow-up will be performed at 30 days, 6 months, and 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years post randomization. First approximately 200 consecutive consenting patients will undergo planned angiographic follow-up at 13 months after enrollment, with first 50 of these patients also consented to undergo planned OCT at baseline and at 13 months following randomization.
