About this study
Official title: BIOTRONIK - Safety and Clinical Performance of the Drug Eluting Resorbable Coronary Magnesium Scaffold System (Freesolve®) in the Treatment of Subjects With de Novo Lesions in Native Coronary Arteries: BIOMAG-II: A Randomized Controlled Trial
The objective of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the Freesolve in the treatment of subjects with up to two de novo lesions in native coronary arteries compared to a contemporary drug eluting stent (DES).
Read the detailed description
The Biotronik BIOMAG-II clinical trial is a prospective, international, multi-center, randomized controlled, non-inferiority trial to compare the BIOTRONIK Sirolimus Eluting Resorbable Magnesium Scaffold System (Freesolve RMS) with the Xience Everolimus Eluting Stent System (Xience DES) with respect to Target Lesion Failure (TLF) rate at 12 months. A total of 1859 subjects will be enrolled at approximately 100 study sites Europe and APAC. Subjects will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to Freesolve or Xience.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Freesolve RMS and Xience DES in people with Coronary Artery Disease and Atherosclerosis, Coronary, run by Biotronik AG at 1 site in Germany.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Percentage of Participants With Target Lesion Failure (TLF) at 12 Months Post-Index Procedure (time frame: 12 Months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Jul 2026.
