Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Fractional flow reserve (FFR, (coronary pressure wire-based index for assessing the ischemic potential of a coronary lesion)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) will result in similar outcomes to coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG).

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Procedure: FFR guided PCI
  • Procedure: CABG
  • Device: Resolute Integrity Stent
  • Device: Resolute Onyx Stent

Detailed Description

The FAME 3 trial is a multicenter, international, randomized, controlled noninferiority trial. All patients with multivessel CAD (not involving the left main) will be screened by the site's Heart Team (including but not limited to an interventional cardiologist, cardiac surgeon and research coordinator). If all agree that the patient can be treated either with FFR-guided PCI or CABG, and all inclusion criteria are met and no exclusion criteria are met, then the patient will be randomized.

Baseline clinical, functional, laboratory and electrocardiographic data will be obtained. Patients will receive treatment within 4 weeks of randomization. Patients randomized to CABG will receive state of the art therapy at the discretion of the local surgeon with a strong emphasis on arterial revascularization. Patients undergoing PCI will have FFR measured with a St. Jude Medical coronary pressure wire across all lesions. If the FFR is ≤0.80, then PCI will be performed with the Medtronic Resolute Integrity drug-eluting stent (DES) as per usual routine. If the FFR is >0.80 then PCI will be deferred.

All patients will receive medical therapy as per published guidelines. Patients will follow-up at 1 and 6 months, and 1 and 3 years with an evaluation of clinical status, functional status, medications and events. Follow-up may be extended to 5 years, if funding allows.

Core lab analyses will include formal quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) of the baseline angiograms with calculation of the Synergy between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery (SYNTAX) score and Functional SYNTAX Score.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Active Comparator: FFR guided PCI

Patients undergoing PCI will have FFR measured with a St. Jude Medical coronary pressure wire across all lesions. If the FFR is ≤0.80, then PCI will be performed with the Medtronic Resolute Integrity (or Onyx) drug-eluting stent (DES) as per usual routine. If the FFR is >0.80 then PCI will be deferred. Only those sites with prior experience measuring FFR will be included in the FAME 3 trial. These patients in whom FFR of a particular lesion was not possible will be included in all analyses based on the intention to treat principle.

Procedure: FFR guided PCI
Other Names:
  • Fractional Flow Reserve-Guided PCI
  • Device: Resolute Integrity Stent
    Durable polymer zotarolimus-eluting stent

    Device: Resolute Onyx Stent
    Durable polymer zotarolimus-eluting stent

    Active Comparator: CABG

    CABG will be performed as per clinical routine at each participating center. Both off-pump and on-pump surgery are acceptable, as long as the surgeon and the site are experienced in the particular technique. An internal mammary graft to the LAD should be attempted in all cases, if feasible. Complete arterial revascularization is strongly recommended, however, each center should use a conduit strategy with which they are most comfortable. All vessels ≥ 1,5 mm in diameter and with ≥ 50% stenosis should be bypassed, if technically feasible.

    Procedure: CABG
    Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery (CABG)

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures
