EVERO Drug-coated Balloon (DCB) Randomized Trial

April 2, 2026 updated by: Cook Research Incorporated

Advance Evero™ 18 Everolimus-Coated Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) Balloon Catheter Versus Paclitaxel-coated Ballons in Patients With Femoropopliteal Disease (EVERO Trial)

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of the Advance Evero™ 18 Everolimus-coated Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty Balloon Catheter (hereafter referred to as the Evero drug-coated balloon [DCB]) in the treatment of the femoropopliteal artery lesions in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Specifically, the Randomized-Controlled Trial (RCT) is designed to demonstrate non-inferior safety and non-inferior effectiveness of the Evero DCB when compared to commercially available paclitaxel DCBs (pDCBs).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Primary safety endpoint
Time Frame: 30 days (death); 12 months (amputation and CD-TLR)
The primary safety endpoint is a composite assessment of freedom from device- or procedure-related death, freedom from target limb major amputation, and freedom from clinically-driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR)
30 days (death); 12 months (amputation and CD-TLR)
Primary effectiveness endpoint
Time Frame: 12 months
The primary effectiveness endpoint is primary patency defined as peak systolic velocity ratio ≤2.4 assessed by duplex ultrasound at 12 months and freedom from CD-TLR.
12 months
