SirPlux Duo dual-API drug-coated balloon to treat new and in‑stent coronary blockages

Official title: ADVANCEd NanoTherapies SirPlux Duo™ Dual API-Coated PTCA Balloon Catheter to Treat Coronary In-stent Restenosis (ISR) and de Novo Lesions

Run by Advanced NanoTherapies · NCT07368933 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests the SirPlux Duo drug‑coated balloon in adults with symptomatic coronary artery disease who have either new (de novo) small vessel blockages or in‑stent restenosis to see if it is safe and works well.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18 years) with symptomatic coronary artery disease (stable/unstable angina or NSTEMI with improving enzymes) who have a single target lesion meeting the study size limits and are suitable candidates for PCI are ideal.

Probably not a fit

Patients with larger lesions outside the specified size ranges, multi‑lesion procedures beyond the allowed treatments, rising cardiac enzymes in NSTEMI, or who are not candidates for PCI are unlikely to benefit from this device in the study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is an interventional, device study of the SirPlux Duo dual‑API‑coated PTCA balloon catheter used during percutaneous coronary intervention to treat symptomatic coronary artery disease. It enrolls adults with either in‑stent restenosis lesions 2.00–4.00 mm in diameter or de novo lesions under 3.00 mm, treating only one target lesion per patient. The study focuses on procedural safety and device performance outcomes following use of the drug‑coated balloon. Procedures occur at participating hospitals in Spain and follow standard PCI practice with device‑specific follow‑up.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the SirPlux Duo balloon could reduce restenosis and the need for repeat procedures by delivering anti‑proliferative drugs directly to small or in‑stent coronary lesions.

How similar studies have gone: Drug‑coated balloons have shown benefit for in‑stent restenosis and small vessel disease in prior studies, but a dual‑API coated balloon like SirPlux Duo represents a newer approach with limited published data to date.

Who can join: the full rules

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

1. ≥18 years or minimum legal age as required by local regulations.
2. Documented stable or unstable angina, positive functional test, or non -ST elevation myocardial infarction which, in the judgment of the operator, is attributable to disease in coronary vessel or in-stent restenosis, and the patient is deemed an appropriate candidate for PCI in accordance with the applicable guidelines on percutaneous coronary intervention.

   Note: participants with NSTEMI must have enzymes that are trending down or are within normal limits prior to enrollment.
3. Life expectancy \>1 year in the Investigator's opinion.
4. Participant is willing and able to cooperate with study procedures and follow-up evaluations.
5. Treatment of only one target lesion required

   1. Tandem lesions treated by a single DCB will be considered one target lesion.
   2. Up to one de novo lesion in a separate vessel may be treated per standard of care at the procedure. Non-target lesions must be successfully treated under the same criteria of the target lesion, before treating the target lesion.
6. Target lesion must be ≤36 mm in length.
7. Target lesion must have a stenosis ≥ 50% and \< 100%.
8. Target lesion must have a visually estimated reference vessel diameter of:

   1. ISR lesions: 2.0 to 4.0 mm in diameter (inclusive)
   2. de novo lesions: 2.0 to \<3.0 mm in diameter
9. ISR lesions only: target lesion must be within a previous BMS or DES that does not extend \>5.0 mm beyond the proximal or distal edge.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Participant is pregnant, or breastfeeding. Note: Participant of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days before procedure.
2. Known hypersensitivity or contraindication to antiplatelet medications (e.g., aspirin; heparin; prasugrel); or a sensitivity to contrast media which cannot be adequately pre-medicated.
3. History of an allergic reaction or significant sensitivity to paclitaxel, sirolimus, or any other analogue or derivative.
4. Platelet count \< 100,000 cells/mm³ (i.e., 100 x 109 /L) or \> 700,000 cells/mm³ (i.e., 700 x 10 9 /L), or a white blood cell (WBC) count \< 3,000 cells/mm³ within 7 days prior to procedure.
5. Renal insufficiency (Serum creatinine level \> 2.5 mg/dl (i.e., 221 μmol/L) within 7 days prior to procedure) or failure (dialysis dependent).
6. Evidence of an acute MI within 72 hours of the procedure Note: participants with NSTEMI are allowed, provided enzymes are trending down or are within normal limits prior to enrollment.
7. Previous PCI of the target vessel within 6 months prior to procedure.
8. History of a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) within the prior 3 months to procedure (any prior stroke or TIA, if prasugrel is used).
9. Planned PCI of any vessel within 30 days post-procedure and/or planned PCI of the target vessel within 12 months post-procedure.
10. Active peptic ulcer or upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding within the prior 6 months to procedure.
11. History of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy or will refuse blood transfusions.
12. Documented left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \<30% at the most recent evaluation, within the prior 3 months to procedure.
13. Planned surgery that would cause interruption in recommended DAPT duration per current guidelines.
14. Currently participating in an investigational drug or another device study that has not completed the primary endpoint or that clinically interferes with the current study endpoints; or requires additional coronary angiography, IVUS, or other coronary artery imaging procedures.
15. The following criteria related to previous treatments applies based on the type of lesion treated. The participant is excluded in the following circumstances:

    1. ISR lesions: If single-layer ISR, any previous treatment of the target vessel for restenosis. If double- layer ISR, any treatment of the double-layer ISR.
    2. de novo lesions: any previous treatment of the target lesion.
16. Planned PCI of three vessel disease during procedure.
17. Planned treatment of more than one target vessel. Tandem lesions that can be treated by a single DCB are permissible.
18. Target lesion requires treatment with atherectomy, laser, or thrombectomy procedure.
19. Target vessel has other lesions with greater than 50% diameter stenosis based on visual estimate.
20. Target vessel has evidence of thrombus.
21. Target vessel is excessively tortuous, defined as more than one bend \>90° to reach target lesion.
22. Target lesion has any of following characteristics:

    1. Lesion location is unprotected in left main coronary artery, internal mammary artery, aorto-ostial, bypass grafts, ostial lesions or within 5 mm of the origin of the left anterior descending or left circumflex.
    2. Involves a side branch \>2.0 mm in diameter.
    3. Is severely calcified.
23. The following criteria based on number and type of lesions:

    1. ISR and de novo lesions: target lesion is in the same vessel with a de novo lesion requiring treatment.
    2. ISR lesions: planned treatment of a ≥3 layer ISR lesion.
