About this study

Official title: Randomized Controlled Trial of Drug Coated Balloon Compared to Bare Metal Stent Using FFR-guidance for the Treatment of de Novo Coronary Artery Lesions

This randomized trial will assess the efficacy of Drug Coated Balloon (DCB) compared to Bare Metal Stent (BMS) using Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) guidance for de novo coronary artery lesions in patients unable to tolerate dual antiplatelet therapy and at high risk of bleeding. Patients will be randomized after balloon angioplasty to receive either DCB or BMS. Endpoints are late luminal loss at 9 months, and major adverse cardiac events including arterial thrombosis at 1, 9 and 12 months.

Read the detailed description

Although the use of drug-eluting stents (DES) has reduced in-stent restenosis when compared to bare metal stents (BMS) and decreased the incidence of adverse clinical events (1-2), DES therapy is limited by delayed arterial healing, late acquired malapposition and neo-atherosclerosis leading to an increased risk of late stent thrombosis and late restenosis (3-4). Conceptually, a permanent stent inhibits advantageous vascular remodeling and durable polymer provokes excessive inflammation (5). Non-stent based local drug delivery using paclitaxel-coated balloon has emerged as a new clinical treatment alternative by maintaining the anti-proliferative properties of DES (6). There is limited data on the efficacy of Drug Coated Balloon (DCB) treatment for de novo coronary lesions when compared to BMS. To avoid the risk of abrupt closure of target lesion after balloon angioplasty, a reliable predictor of coronary flow is necessary especially in de novo lesions of major coronary arteries. Therefore, using fractional flow reserve (FFR) after angioplasty as a good indicator of immediate functional improvement and reduced restenosis (7), the aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of DCB treatment compared to BMS in patients with de novo coronary artery lesions.

Patients with de novo coronary artery lesions with > 50% stenosis in a single vessel and at high risk of bleeding with the inability to tolerate dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) will be included in this trial. Patients will undergo balloon angioplasty and if the FFR post balloon angioplasty is > 0.80, they will be randomized to receive either DCB or BMS. Patients will receive Quantitative Coronary Angiography (QCA) analysis at 9 months follow-up. Endpoints are late luminal loss at 9 months and major adverse events including arterial thrombosis at 1, 9 and 12 months and these endpoints will be compared between DCB and BMS groups.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Drug Coated BalloonDevice

    If post balloon angioplasty FFR is more than 0.80, either DCB treatment or BMS implantation will be carried out based on randomization of 1:1. DCB (SeQuent Please paclitaxel-coated balloon catheter, B. Braun, Melsungen, Germany) will be applied at the predilated lesions. PCB will be delivered rapidly and inflated for 60 seconds with nominal pressure.

  • Bare Metal StentDevice

    BMS (Vision®) will be applied at the predilated lesions after angiographic confirmation of the target lesion.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Late luminal loss

    Measured: 9 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (death, myocardial infarction, repeat revascularization, recurrent ischemic symptoms)

    Measured: Post procedure (up to 1 hour), 1 month, 9 months and 12 months

  2. Arterial thrombosis

    Any stent thrombosis - acute, subacute/late stent thrombosis

    Measured: Post procedure (up to 1 hour), 1 month, 9 months and 12 months

  3. Fractional Flow Reserve

    FFR is the ratio of the pressure measured at the distal portion of the target lesion and the aortic ostium at maximal hyperemia

    Measured: Post procedure (up to 1 hour) and 9 months
