Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

To assess the angiographic performance of the Magic Touch Sirolimus-Coated Balloon (SCB) at 9 months follow-up after PCI for de novo CAD.

Primary end-points:

  • Late lumen loss (LLL) at the SCB-treated segment within 9 months after the index procedure;
  • Mean net lumen diameter gain at the SCB-treated segment at 9 months angiographic follow-up.

Secondary end-points:

  • Procedural success defined as both SCB delivery and inflation at the "target" lesion site with <30% diameter stenosis (DS) in the SCB-treated segment and distal Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) 3 flow;
  • Peri-procedural myocardial infarction (PMI) defined according to the EXCEL trial (creatinine kinase myocardial band) or Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions definitions (troponin);
  • Binary restenosis rate at the SCB-treated segment at 9 months angiographic follow-up;
  • A Device Oriented Composite End-point (DOCE) and its singular components (cardiac death, any target-vessel myocardial infarction excluding PMI, ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization) in-hospital, within 7 days after PCI; phone follow-up at 30-day (+/- 7 days) and 12 months (+/- 1 month) and a follow-up visit at 9 months (+/- 1 month). Any definite/probable SCB-treated segment thrombosis (in-hospital, within 7 days after PCI and at 30-day, 9-month, 1-year follow-up).

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria

  1. Age >18 years
