# ION US Post-Approval Study

**Official Title:** A U.S. Post-Approval Study of the ION™ Paclitaxel-Eluting Platinum Chromium Coronary Stent System

**NCT ID:** [NCT01422889](https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT01422889)

## Key Facts

- **Status:** COMPLETED
- **Study Type:** OBSERVATIONAL
- **Target Enrollment:** 1120
- **Lead Sponsor:** Boston Scientific Corporation
- **Conditions:** Atherosclerosis, Coronary Artery Disease
- **Start Date:** 2011-09
- **Completion Date:** 2015-02
- **CT.gov Last Update:** 2016-02-04

## Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compile real-world clinical outcomes data for the ION™ Paclitaxel-Eluting Platinum Chromium Coronary Stent System in routine clinical practice.

## Detailed Description

The ION™ stent is the third-generation Boston Scientific (BSC) paclitaxel-eluting coronary stent. It is designed for improved performance specific to deliverability and radio-opacity while maintaining a similar drug release profile of the TAXUS Express and TAXUS Liberté stents. Following PMA approval from the FDA for the ION™ Paclitaxel-Eluting Platinum Chromium Coronary Stent System the ION US Post-Approval study will compile real-world clinical outcomes data for the ION™ Paclitaxel-Eluting Platinum Chromium Coronary Stent System in routine clinical practice. Post-approval studies of drug-eluting stents (DES) provide an opportunity to observe and assess patient outcomes and technology performance in a real-world setting.

## Eligibility

- **Minimum age:** 18 Years
- **Maximum age:** 110 Years
- **Sex:** ALL
- **Healthy Volunteers:** No

```
Inclusion Criteria:

Consented subjects receiving one or more ION(TM)Coronary Stents

Exclusion Criteria:

Subjects not clinically indicated to receive an ION (TM)Coronary Stent
```

## Arms

- **ION Registry** — The ION Registry population was designed to collect real world safety and clinical outcomes data. There were 1120 subjects were enrolled, however 9 subjects did not receive a study stent therefore 1111 subjects were eligible for follow up.

## Interventions

- **ION™ Coronary Stent System** (DEVICE) — This study is intended to evaluate the ION™ Paclitaxel-Eluting Platinum Chromium Coronary Stent System across a range of institutions and physician users to observe and assess subject outcomes and technology performance in a real-world setting.

## Primary Outcomes

- **Cardiac Death or Myocardial Infarction (CD/MI)** _(time frame: 12 Months)_ — Cardiac Death or myocardial infarction (CD/MI) in the ION registry population. For the protocol specified primary endpoint analysis including data pooled from the PERSEUS SV, PERSEUS WH and TE Prove patient populations please see the citations.

## Secondary Outcomes

- **Stent Thrombosis** _(time frame: Annually, after the first year, through 2 years.)_
