Background and study aims
Coronary heart disease (CHD), also known as ischemic heart disease, is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. CHD develops because of the build-up of fatty deposits (plaque) on the walls of the coronary arteries (the arteries that supply the heart with oxygen-rich blood). When arteries are blocked or narrowed, the heart does not receive enough blood to function properly, which can cause pain and tightness in the chest (angina), or a heart attack. An angioplasty is a common procedure where a thin tube (catheter) is placed inside the narrowed blood vessel. A small balloon on the tip of the catheter is gradually inflated to reopen the artery and flatten the blockage against the artery wall. In some cases, the surgeon also places a mesh-like tube (stent) into the artery to keep it open. One of the main problems following this type of surgery is that the artery may re-narrow and become blocked again (restenosis), as the cells which make up the obstruction multiply (proliferate). New techniques have been developed where the stent placed in the artery is coated in a drug which prevents cell proliferation (drug-eluting stent). The Supraflex™ Cruz Stent is a type of drug-eluting stent which uses the drug sirolimus to prevent restenosis. The aim of this study is to look at patients who have had a Supraflex™ Cruz Stent to find out if it is a safe and efficient way of preventing restenosis and future heart problems.

Who can participate?
Adults who have had a Supraflex™ Cruz Stent implanted as part of their clinical care.

What does the study involve?
Participants who are having a Supraflex™ Cruz Stent implanted are asked for their consent to take part in the study. The patients are asked to attend a follow-up appointment 12 months after their operation so that any blockages in their stent (stent thrombosis) can be measured, using an angiogram (a scan of the coronary arteries). The patients are also interviewed in order to find out whether there have been any problems since their operation.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
There are no direct benefits or risks to patients taking part in this study

Where is the study run from?
Freeman Hospital (lead centre) and around 30 other hospitals in the UK

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
April 2018 to January 2023

Who is funding the study?
Sahajanand Medical Technologies Pvt. Ltd (India)

Scientific titleProspective evaluation of thin-strut biodegradable polymer-coated Supraflex sirolimus-eluting stents in an all-comers patient population (S-FLEX UK-II)
Study acronymS-FLEX UK-II
Study objectivesTo evaluate the clinical safety and performance of thin-strut biodegradable polymer-coated Supraflex Cruz sirolimus-eluting stents in an all-comers patient population requiring stent implantation.
Ethics approval(s)Approved 22/08/2019, South West - Cornwall & Plymouth REC (Level 3, Block B, Whitefriars, Lewins Mead, Bristol, BS1 2NT, UK; +44 (0)207 104 8214; cornwallandplymouth.rec@hra.nhs.uk), ref: 18/SW/0130
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedAtherothrombosis
InterventionOnce a patient has been identified as potentially meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria written informed consent is obtained prior to the patient’s enrollment. Potential participants will have up to 24 hours to consider the information presented to them, after which signed consent will be sought. It should be noted that the patient would have already provided consent for the DES implantation procedure as per normal standard of care at the investigational site.

The total duration of observation is 12 months with a follow up at 12 months.
The total duration of the follow-up at 12 months is no longer than 1 hour.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureThe safety and efficacy of the Supraflex Cruz stent measured through patient interviews and the review of medical notes at the 12 month follow up
Secondary outcome measuresMeasured using a review of patient records:
1. Procedural endpoints [at the end of the index procedure (12 months)]
1.1. Device success, lesion success, procedural success
2. Safety and efficacy endpoints [30 days and 12 months]
2.1. Overall stent thrombosis
2.2. All deaths (cardiac, vascular and non-cardiovascular)
2.3. Any myocardial infarction (Q wave and non-Q wave MI)
2.4. Any repeat revascularization (target lesion and target vessel revascularization)
2.5. Target Lesion Failure (TLF)
2.6. Target Vessel Failure (TVF): a composite endpoint of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction and clinically driven target vessel revascularization
Overall study start date09/04/2018
Completion date10/01/2023
