Study Summary

A prospective, multi-center, single-blind, randomized (1:1), non-inferiority study comparing clinical outcomes of the Virtue® Sirolimus AngioInfusion™ Balloon (SAB) to the AGENT™ Paclitaxel Drug-Coated Balloon (DCB) in the treatment of coronary artery in-stent restenosis (ISR).

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • In-stent restenosis (one or two stent layers) in a lesion previously treated withdrug- eluting (DES) or bare metal stents (BMS) in a native coronary artery.

  • The target lesion is in a vessel with a reference vessel diameter ≥ 2.0 mm and ≤ 4.0mm by visual assessment.

  • The subject has only one critical ISR lesion.

  • The subject may have one other critical lesion in a non-target vessel that must betreated before the Target Lesion (TL).

  • Target lesion length must be ≤ 26 mm and must be completely coverable by only oneVirtue® or AGENT™ balloon. The balloon can extend up to 5 mm proximal or distalbeyond the edge of the target stented length.

  • The target lesion must have one of the following:

  • Visually estimated stenosis of ≥ 70% and <100% diameter stenosis, OR

  • Visually estimated stenosis ≥ 50% and < 70% with one of the following:

  • abnormal fractional flow reserve (FFR) including Angio based FFR ≤ 0.80, or;

  • abnormal instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) or resting full-cycle ratio (RFR) ≤ 0.89, or;

  • abnormal stress or imaging stress test, or;

  • ischemic symptoms referable to the target lesion

  • Involved in a NSTEMI or Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) event with decreasing enzymes

  • Target lesion must be successfully pre-treated according to standard of care with anachieved residual stenosis of ≤ 30% by visual estimate with TIMI grade flow of 3prior to randomization.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subject has a left ventricular ejection fraction < 30% within 6 months.

  • Subject was treated by PCI or another coronary intervention within the last 30 days.

  • Planned PCI or CABG after the index procedure.

  • Subjects with STEMI < 72 hours prior to index procedure and those with NSTEMI whohave increasing biomarkers within 12 hours of the index procedure.

  • If single-layer ISR, any previous treatment (other than balloon angioplasty alone)of the target vessel for restenosis. If double-layer ISR, any treatment (other thanballoon angioplasty alone) of the double-layer ISR restenosis.

  • Target lesion is located within a saphenous vein graft or an arterial graft.

  • Thrombus is present in the target vessel.

  • > 50% stenosis of an additional lesion proximal or clinically significant distal (>2.0mm RVD) to the target lesion.

  • A dissection in the target lesion requiring treatment with a stent postpre-dilatation.

  • The target ISR lesion has more than two layers of previously placed stents.

  • Subject has critical unprotected left main coronary artery disease.
