Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults 21 years and older with symptomatic ischemic heart disease eligible for PCI and meeting arm-specific lesion criteria.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with non-qualifying lesion characteristics or intolerance to dual antiplatelet therapy may not benefit.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This is a prospective, multicenter, open-label study evaluating a sirolimus-coated balloon catheter (SiroMax) in adults with coronary artery disease involving in-stent restenosis or de novo small-vessel lesions. Up to 60 participants across up to 8 sites outside the United States will be treated, with 30 in the ISR arm and 30 in the de novo small-vessel arm. A PK sub-study will enroll at least 15 ISR participants to characterize drug elimination. Primary safety is major adverse cardiac events through 12 months; primary efficacy is target lesion failure at 6 months. Angiographic assessment is performed per standard care, and only one target lesion is treated with the study device during the index procedure.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience fewer re-narrowings and better long-term vessel patency after procedure with this drug-coated balloon.
How similar studies have gone: Prior studies of sirolimus-coated balloons have shown safety signals and potential effectiveness in similar settings, but this first-in-human trial for this device in DNSV/ISR contexts is novel.
