The EVOLVE II Clinical Trial To Assess the SYNERGY Stent System for the Treatment of Atherosclerotic Lesion(s)

EVOLVE II: A Prospective Multicenter Trial to Assess the Safety and Effectiveness of the SYNERGY Everolimus-Eluting Platinum Chromium Coronary Stent System (SYNERGY Stent System) for the Treatment of Atherosclerotic Lesion(s)

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the SYNERGY Everolimus-Eluting Platinum Chromium Coronary Stent System for the treatment of subjects with atherosclerotic lesion(s) ≤ 34 mm in length (by visual estimate) in native coronary arteries ≥2.25 mm to ≤4.0 mm in diameter (by visual estimate).

A concurrent, non-randomized, single-arm, pharmacokinetic (PK) substudy and a consecutive, non-randomized, single-arm, Diabetes substudy will also enroll under the EVOLVE II protocol.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Subject must be at least 18 years of age

• Subject is eligible for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)

  • Current problems with substance abuse (e.g., alcohol, cocaine, heroin, etc.)
  • Planned procedure that may cause non-compliance with the protocol or confound data interpretation

• Subject is receiving chronic (≥72 hours) anticoagulation therapy (i.e., heparin, coumadin) for indications other than acute coronary syndrome

• Subject has a platelet count <100,000 cells/mm3 or >700,000 cells/mm3

• Subject has a white blood cell (WBC) count < 3,000 cells/mm3

• Subject has documented or suspected liver disease, including laboratory evidence of hepatitis

• Subject is on dialysis or has baseline serum creatinine level >2.0 mg/dL (177µmol/L)

• Subject has a history of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy or will refuse blood transfusions

• Subject has had a history of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or transient ischemic attack (TIA) within the past 6 months

• Subject has an active peptic ulcer or active gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding

• Subject has severe symptomatic heart failure (i.e., NYHA class IV)

• Subject is participating in another investigational drug or device clinical trial that has not reached its primary endpoint

• Subject intends to participate in another investigational drug or device clinical trial within 12 months after the index procedure

• Subject with known intention to procreate within 12 months after the index procedure (women of child-bearing potential who are sexually active must agree to use a reliable method of contraception from the time of screening through 12 months after the index procedure)
