New stent aims to tackle tough heart blockages
NCT ID NCT05658250
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a special drug-coated stent called Cre8 in 300 people with long blockages (at least 30 mm) in their heart arteries. The stent releases a medicine to help keep the artery open. Researchers are watching to see if it is safe and effective, looking for problems like heart attacks or the need for another procedure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- CRE8 polymer-free amphilimus-eluting stent
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a better treatment option for people with long blockages in heart arteries, potentially reducing the need for repeat procedures.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a randomized trial, so results may be less definitive. The stent may still carry risks like blood clots or re-narrowing of the artery.
