PLATINUM: A Prospective, Randomized, Multicenter Trial to Assess an Everolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System (PROMUS Element™) for the Treatment of up to Two De Novo Coronary Artery Lesions
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating PROMUS Coronary Stent System, PROMUS Element Coronary Stent System, and 2 other interventions for Coronary Artery Disease. Completed, enrolled 1,530 participants across 133 sites in 17 countries.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the PROMUS Element™ Everolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System for the treatment of patients with up to 2 de novo atherosclerotic coronary artery lesions. This clinical trial compares outcomes in patients treated with PROMUS Element to those in patients treated with a different everolimus-eluting coronary stent. The lesions are of average length in average-sized vessels ("workhorse"). A companion sub-trial evaluates outcomes in smaller vessels (SV) and another sub-trial evaluates outcomes in longer lesions (LL).

Timeline
Interventions
PROMUS is a device/drug combination product composed of two components, a device (coronary stent system including a cobalt chromium stent platform) and a drug product (a formulation of everolimus contained in a polymer coating).
PROMUS Element is a device/drug combination product composed of two components, a device (coronary stent system including a platinum chromium stent platform) and a drug product (a formulation of everolimus contained in a polymer coating that is the same as on the PROMUS \[XIENCE V\] stent).
Patients are required to take aspirin indefinitely after stent implant. It is recommended that aspirin 162-325 mg daily be given for at least 6 months after stent placement and that aspirin 75-162 mg daily be given indefinitely thereafter.
Patients must be treated with one of the following thienopyridines for at least 6 months following the index procedure: clopidogrel 75 mg daily; or ticlopidine 250 mg twice daily; or prasugrel (outside the United States and if approved at the time of the procedure). If used, the prescribed dose should be in accordance with approved country-specific labeling. In patients not at high risk of bleeding, thienopyridine treatment should continue for at least 12 months after stent implant.
