Evaluating a new drug-coated balloon for coronary artery disease

A Randomized Controlled Study of the Prevail Drug-Coated Balloon in Subjects With In-stent Restenosis and a Single Arm Prospectively Enrolled Study of the Prevail Drug-Coated Balloon for de Novo Lesions in Small Vessel Disease (Prevail Global).

Not applicable Interventional Medtronic Vascular · NCT06535854

This study is testing a new drug-coated balloon to see if it can help people with coronary artery disease, including those with previous stent issues and those with new small vessel problems.

What this trial studies

The Prevail Global study is a prospective, multi-center clinical evaluation of the Prevail Drug-Coated Balloon (DCB) for treating coronary artery disease. It includes two cohorts: one for patients with in-stent restenosis (ISR) who will be randomized to receive either the Prevail DCB or an Agent DCB, and another for patients with de novo lesions in small vessel disease (DNSV) who will receive the Prevail DCB in a single-arm study. The study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of the Prevail DCB compared to historical controls and will follow participants for up to five years. Approximately 65 study sites will be involved in the enrollment process over a 12-month period.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with stable or unstable angina or positive functional tests.

Not a fit: Patients with known hypersensitivity to antiplatelet medications or those with acute myocardial infarction will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a new effective treatment option for patients with coronary artery disease.

How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown promise with drug-coated balloons in similar contexts, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
