The objective of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the Freesolve resorbable magnesium scaffold (RMS) in the treatment of subjects with up to two de novo lesions in native coronary arteries compared to the Xience coronary drug-eluting stent (DES) system
The BIOMAG-III clinical trial is a prospective, international, multi-center, single-blinded, randomized controlled, non-inferiority trial to compare the Freesolve Sirolimus Eluting Coronary Resorbable Magnesium Scaffold (Freesolve RMS) System with the Xience Everolimus Eluting Stent (Xience DES) System. with respect to Target Lesion Failure (TLF) rate at 12 months. Subjects will be randomized in a 2:1 fashion Freesolve to Xience. A total of up to 1859 subjects will be randomized at up to 120 total sites worldwide including North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific. Clinical follow-up will be conducted at 1, 6, and 12 months and at 2, 3, 4, and 5 years post-procedure.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.
A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.
A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Plan to share: No — No IPD sharing is planned at this time. This study evaluates an investigational device under an FDA IDE. The sponsor may consider sharing de-identified IPD under controlled access following completion of primary endpoint analysis and regulatory review.
