Extrait

Two consecutive cohorts of subjects were each treated with the CoStar stent loaded with a different paclitaxel dose regimen. The first 145 subjects (Arm I), enrolled between 20 January 2004 and 26 May 2004, were treated with 10 µg paclitaxel and the subsequent 137 subjects (Arm II), enrolled between 15 December 2004 and 9 March 2005, were treated with 30 µg paclitaxel. Both dose formulations eluted over 30 days (in-vitro). Subjects in both arms completed clinical follow-up at 1, 6 and 12 months post-index procedure, with angiographic follow-up at 6 months as outlined in the original study protocol. Based on results from previous studies and the initial EuroSTAR Trial results, Conor Medsystems decided to pursue the dosage used in Arm I, 10 μg/30 days, as the commercial dose formulation for the CoStar® stent. The EuroSTAR Trial addendum was proposed for the purpose of evaluating the long-term clinical outcomes of the CoStar stent.
