This is an investigator initiated randomized trial, performed under the auspices of the Spanish Society of Cardiology.
It is a multicenter, international, parallel, randomized 1:1 (amphilimus-eluting stents vs zotarolimus-eluting stents) clinical trial performed exclusively in patients with diabetes mellitus. The study has an "all-comers diabetics" design.
The primary-endpoint is target lesion failure at 1-year follow-up (non-inferiority design) and the co-primary end-point is target lesion failure at 2-years follow-up (superiority-design).

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years to 100 Years (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria(must meet all):
- Patients ≥18 years who understands the nature of the study and provides written informed consent.
- Diagnosis of diabetes according to the American Diabetes Association diagnostic criteria (*)
- Documented silent ischemia, stable angina, unstable angina, or myocardial infarction (with or without ST elevation).
- At least one de novo coronary lesion with stenosis of more than 50% in a vessel with a reference vessel diameter of 2.25 to 4.5 mm by visual estimation. Coronary anatomy is suitable for PCI (patients with potential CABG indication should be eligible for PCI after a multidisciplinary evaluation in a Heart Team).
Exclusion Criteria:
- Cardiogenic shock or resuscitation
- Comorbidity with anticipated life expectancy to 24 months
- Inability to consent due to mechanical ventilation
- Pregnant female patient
- Conditions that could preclude a minimal of 1 month of DAPT (such as, but not limited to: severe liver failure, platelet count <100,000 cells/mm3, recent gastrointestinal bleeding or history of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy)
- Contraindication or known allergy to aspirin, heparin, P2Y12 inhibitors, cobalt and/or chromium metal alloys, sirolimus or derivates, polyurethane, or contrast media (for contrast-media allergy, patients that might be safely and adequately pre-medicated should be allowed to enter the study).
- Currently enrolled in another clinical trial.
