New balloon aims to clear clogged heart stents
NCT ID NCT07159087
First seen Jun 26, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study compares a new drug-coated balloon (Genoss SCB) to an existing one (SeQuent Please NEO) for treating coronary arteries that have re-narrowed after stenting. About 94 adults with this condition will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two balloons during a standard heart procedure. The main goal is to see which balloon better keeps the artery open six months later, as measured by a special X-ray.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only โ not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Sirolimus-coated balloon catheter (Genoss SCB) compared to Paclitaxel-coated balloon catheter (SeQuent Please NEO)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a better option for treating re-narrowed heart arteries after stenting, potentially reducing the need for repeat procedures.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 94 patients. The new balloon may not prove superior or could have unexpected side effects. Results may not apply to all patients.
