Johnson & Johnson

Johnson & Johnson company announced that the first patient has been enrolled in the CYPRESS study, which will assess clinical outcomes in a broad range of patients with coronary artery disease who take dual anti-platelet therapy after receiving a CYPHER Sirolimus-eluting Coronary Stent. The procedure was performed by Patrick Flaherty, D.O., Arkansas Heart Hospital in Little Rock, AK. CYPRESS will provide data to support the clinical evaluation of the company`s new NEVO Sirolimus-eluting Coronary Stent in the NEVO III trial, a non-randomized, single-arm trial evaluating the clinical outcomes of NEVO in approximately 1,200 patients in the United States and Canada. NEVO is the first drug-eluting stent utilizing RES TECHNOLOGY, which incorporates hundreds of small reservoirs, each acting as a depot into which drug-polymer compositions are loaded. The patients in this study will represent a variety of coronary artery disease cases including those considered `complex` due to multi-vessel disease.
