The Supreme Biodegradable Polymer DES in Acute and Chronic Coronary Syndromes: A PIONEER III Substudy

Abstract

Background: The PIONEER III trial demonstrated noninferiority of 12-month target lesion failure (TLF) with the Supreme DES (Sinomed), a thin-strut cobalt-chromium, biodegradable polymer, sirolimus-eluting stent, compared with a durable polymer, everolimus-eluting (XIENCE/PROMUS) stent (DP-EES). The relative safety and effectiveness of the Supreme DES in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and those with chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) is not known.

Methods: PIONEER III was a prospective, multicenter, international, 2:1 randomized trial stratified by clinical presentation. The primary end point was TLF at 12 months (a composite of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, or ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization).

Results: A total of 1628 patients were enrolled, including 41% of patients with ACS (unstable angina and non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction) randomized to Supreme DES (n = 441) versus DP-EES (n = 232) and 59% of patients with CCS randomized to Supreme DES (n = 645) versus DP-EES (n = 310). Patients with ACS were younger, fewer presented with less diabetes, hypertension, and previous revascularization, but more were current smokers. The primary end point of TLF (6.4% vs 4.4%; = .1), major adverse cardiac events (8.5% vs 6.5%; = .16), and stent thrombosis (0.4% vs 0.9%; = .25) at 12 months were similar in the ACS and CCS groups. There was no difference in TLF at 12 months between Supreme DES and DP-EES among patients with ACS (6.6% vs 6.0%; = .89) and those with CCS (4.5% vs 4.3%; = .83); interaction = .51 for TLF by clinical presentation.

Conclusions: Compared with the DP-EES, the Supreme DES seemed safe and effective with a similar TLF at 12 months in both patients with ACS and those with CCS.
