This trial aim to compare the clinical efficacy of 2 novel second-generation DES in patients with DM. Methods and results The Second-Generation Drug-Eluting Stents in Diabetes (SUGAR) trial ( ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03321032) is an investigator-initiated, prospective, randomized, controlled, multicenter study conducted exclusively in patients with DM. This study allows inclusion of the entire spectrum of patients with DM undergoing PCI, and the only exclusion criteria are shock at presentation, inability to consent or a life expectancy Conclusions SUGAR is the first randomized head-to head trial comparing second-generation DES in an all-comer diabetic population undergoing PCI.
