What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study compares a new balloon coated with sirolimus to an existing balloon coated with paclitaxel for treating blocked heart arteries. About 250 adults with coronary artery disease will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two balloons during a procedure to open their arteries. The main goal is to see if the sirolimus balloon works as well as the paclitaxel balloon in keeping arteries open after 9 months.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
sirolimus-coated balloon catheter
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for blocked heart arteries that may be as effective as current options.
What could go wrong
This is a noninferiority trial, meaning it aims to show the new balloon is not worse than the existing one, not that it is better. The study is still recruiting and results are not yet available.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: Participants in this clinical trial must meet all of the following criteria: General Inclusion Criteria 1. Age ≥18 years and ≤80 years. 2. Evidence of asymptomatic myocardial ischemia, or stable/unstable angina, or myocardial infarction that occurred more than 7 days before enrollment and is now stable. 3. Suitable for any type of coronary artery revascularization, such as balloon angioplasty, stent implantation, and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). 4. Capable of understanding the purpose of the trial, willing to participate, and acknowledging the risks and benefits described in the informed consent document by signing the informed consent form, and willing to undergo invasive imaging follow-up. Angiographic Inclusion Criteria 1. A maximum of 2 vessels requiring treatment, with no more than 3 lesions in total. 2. If the non-target lesion and the target lesion are in the same vessel, the non-target lesion must be located distal to the target lesion. 3. Successful interventional treatment of the non-target lesion prior to the target lesion. 4. Only one true bifurcation lesion requiring treatment (Medina classification 1.1.1, 1.0.1, 0.1.1), with a diameter stenosis ≥70% (by visual estimation) at the ostium of the target lesion side branch. 5. Successful pre-dilation/kissing balloon of the target lesion side branch, no dissection grade C or higher, residual stenosis ≤30% (by visual estimation) in the side branch lesion, and TIMI 3 flow. 6. Suitable for PCI, with the main branch lesion of the target lesion planned for stent implantation without drug-coated balloon treatment, and the side branch lesion treated with a drug-coated balloon without stent implantation; it is recommended to perform kissing balloon dilation for both the main and side branches. 7. Reference diameter of the target lesion side branch 2.0-4.0 mm, and lesion length ≤38 mm. Exclusion Criteria: If a participant has any of the following conditions, they will be excluded from the study: General Exclusion Criteria 1. Unstable Arrhythmias: Such as high-risk ventricular premature beats or ventricular tachycardia. 2. Severe Heart Failure (New York Heart Association Functional Classification, NYHA Class IV). 3. Preoperative Renal Impairment: Or currently undergoing hemodialysis treatment. 4. Bleeding Tendencies or Contraindications to Antiplatelet Agents and Anticoagulants: Participants who cannot undergo antithrombotic therapy. 5. History of Peptic Ulcer or Gastrointestinal Bleeding within the Past 6 Months: Or history of cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, or other cerebrovascular accidents (stroke) within the past 6 months. 6. Known Allergies to Contrast Agents, Paclitaxel, Sirolimus, or Their Derivatives. 7. Life Expectancy Less Than 12 Months. 8. Poor Compliance: Participants who, in the investigator's judgment, are unlikely to adhere to the study requirements or are otherwise deemed unsuitable for inclusion. 9. Participation in Other Ongoing Clinical Trials: Participants who have not reached the primary endpoint in other ongoing clinical trials. 10. Pregnant or Lactating Women: Women who plan to conceive within 12 months or are unwilling to use effective contraception. Angiographic Exclusion Criteria 1. Left Main Trunk and Its Bifurcation Lesions Requiring Treatment. 2. Thrombus in the Target Lesion: Excessive tortuosity of the vessel, making it unlikely for the balloon to pass through the lesion. 3. Total Occlusion in the Side Branch Lesion of the Target Lesion. 4. Severe Calcification in the Side Branch Lesion of the Target Lesion: Lesions that cannot be pre-dilated or treated with double-balloon kissing dilation. 5. In-Stent Restenosis in the Target Vessel (Including Both Main and Side Branches). 6. Residual Stenosis \>30% (by Visual Estimation) or Dissection Grade C or Higher After Pre-Dilation or Double-Balloon Kissing Dilation of the Side Branch Lesion of the Target Lesion.
