About this study

Official title: Analysis of Prognostic Factors for Drug-Coated Balloon Angioplasty in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease: An Ambiprospective Cohort Study

This ambiprospective observational study evaluates the long-term safety and efficacy of Paclitaxel Drug-Coated Balloon (DCB) angioplasty in approximately 20,000 patients withcoronary artery lesions in large vessels. By combining retrospective historical data with a prospective registry involving biological specimen collection, the study aims to identify key predictors of outcomes, including intravascular imaging findings, hemodynamic parameters, and biological markers. Patients will be followed longitudinally for up to 10 years to assess the durability of the treatment and the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).

Read the detailed description

This is a large-scale, ambiprospective (bi-directional), observational cohort study designed to evaluate the efficacy and prognostic factors of Drug-Coated Balloon (DCB) angioplasty in patients withcoronary artery lesions in large vessels. The study aims to enroll approximately 20,000 patients, comprising both a retrospective cohort (historical data) and a prospective cohort (ongoing recruitment).

The primary objective is to investigate the impact of various determinants on clinical and angiographic outcomes. Specifically, the study will analyze differences in:

Baseline Characteristics: Demographics, comorbidities, and medication history. Lesion Features: Angiographic morphology, calcification, and lesion length. Intravascular Imaging: Quantitative and qualitative analysis using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS).

Hemodynamic Parameters: Functional assessment indices such as Quantitative Flow Ratio (QFR) or Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR).

Procedural Approaches: Pre-dilation techniques, balloon sizing ratios, and inflation duration.

Biological Specimen Collection:

For the prospective cohort, biological samples (including peripheral venous blood) will be collected at baseline. These samples will be processed to isolate serum, plasma, and DNA/RNA for biobanking. The aim is to identify potential biomarkers (e.g., inflammatory markers, genetic polymorphisms, or metabolic profiles) associated with vascular remodeling, neointimal hyperplasia, and late lumen loss following DCB treatment.

Endpoints and Follow-up:

The study is designed to assess clinical and angiographic outcomes longitudinally. Follow-up assessments will be conducted at scheduled intervals (e.g., 1 year) and will extend to very long-term follow-up (up to 10 years). This extended observation period aims to evaluate the durability of the procedure and the long-term safety profile.

Clinical Endpoints: Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE), defined as a composite of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, and target lesion revascularization.

Angiographic Endpoints: Late Lumen Loss (LLL) and Binary Restenosis Rate assessed by Quantitative Coronary Angiography (QCA) at designated angiographic follow-up windows.

What is being measured

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

  1. Target Vessel Failure (TVF)

    Composite of cardiovascular death, target vessel myocardial infarction, or clinically driven target vessel revascularization, defined according to the Academic Research Consortium (ARC) criteria.

    Measured: From the index procedure through up to 10 years of follow-up

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Target Lesion Revascularization (TLR)

    Repeat percutaneous intervention or surgical bypass of the target lesion due to restenosis or other complications.

    Measured: From the index procedure through up to 10 years of follow-up

  2. Target Vessel Revascularization (TVR)

    Any repeat revascularization of the target vessel

    Measured: From the index procedure through up to 10 years of follow-up

  3. Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE)

    Composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, stroke, or any revascularization.

    Measured: From the index procedure through up to 10 years of follow-up

  4. All-cause mortality

    Death from any cause.

    Measured: From the index procedure through up to 10 years of follow-up

  5. Late lumen loss (LLL)

    Difference between post-procedural and follow-up minimal lumen diameter assessed by quantitative coronary angiography.

    Measured: At the first available follow-up coronary angiography, up to 10 years

  6. Binary restenosis

    Diameter stenosis ≥50% at follow-up angiography.

    Measured: At the first available follow-up coronary angiography, up to 10 years

  7. Quantitative Flow Ratio (QFR)

    Functional assessment of coronary physiology derived from angiography.

    Measured: Immediately after the index DCB procedure and at the first available follow-up coronary angiography, up to 10 years

  8. Bleeding Events

    Classified by BARC (Type 1-5) at 12 months.

    Measured: 12 months after the index procedure

  9. cardiovascular death

    Death due to cardiovascular causes, including death caused by acute myocardial infarction, sudden cardiac death (including unwitnessed death), heart failure, stroke, cardiovascular procedures, or cardiovascular hemorrhage, according to the Drug-Coated Balloon Academic Research Consortium (DCB-ARC) criteria.

    Measured: Up to 5 years after the index DCB procedure

  10. Myocardial Infarction (MI)

    Occurrence of myocardial infarction according to the Fourth Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction. Both target-vessel and non-target-vessel myocardial infarctions will be recorded.

    Measured: From the index procedure through up to 10 years of follow-up.

  11. Target Vessel Myocardial Infarction (TV-MI)

    Myocardial infarction attributable to the target vessel. This includes myocardial infarction related to the DCB-treated target lesion and myocardial infarction arising from a non-target lesion within the same target vessel.

    Measured: From the index procedure through up to 10 years of follow-up.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease, run by Henan Institute of Cardiovascular Epidemiology at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. 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: enrolling by invitation, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Oct 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 China. 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?

What does the primary outcome measure?

Target Vessel Failure (TVF) (time frame: From the index procedure through up to 10 years of follow-up). 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?
