About this study
Official title: Safety and Efficacy of Medeliver Intracranial Drug Coated Balloon Catheter for Symptomatic Intracranial Atherosclerotic Stenosis(Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized Controlled, Superiority Trial)
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Medeliver® Intracranial Drug-Coated Balloon Catheter (developed by Beijing Jiu Shi Shen Kang Medical Technology Co., Ltd.) in the endovascular treatment of symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis.
- Being tested
- Intracranial Drug-Coated Balloon Catheter (Medeliver®), Intracranial Balloon Dilatation Catheter (Diveroad®)
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Intracranial Drug-Coated Balloon Catheter (Medeliver®)Device
The Medeliver® intracranial drug-coated balloon dilatation catheter is indicated for interventional treatment of symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis lesions. It restores the original vascular lumen through balloon dilatation of the stenotic segment while simultaneously delivering an anti-proliferative agent (sirolimus/rapamycin) coated on the balloon surface to the lesion site.
Intracranial Balloon Dilatation Catheter (Diveroad®)Device
The Diveroad® intracranial balloon dilatation catheter is indicated for interventional treatment of symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis lesions. It restores the original vascular lumen through balloon dilatation of the stenotic segment.

| Control Group | Active comparator | Intervention: Diveroad® Intracranial Balloon Dilatation Catheter Manufacturer: Beijing JSSK Neuro Medical Co., Ltd. Receives: Device: Intracranial Balloon Dilatation Catheter (Diveroad®) |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
The 12-month post-procedural rates of target lesion restenosis, stroke recurrence or mortality in the territory of the target vessel.
Measured: From enrollment to the end of follow-up at 12 months

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?
Contact Zhen Li Beijing Highland Med-Tech Development Co.,Ltd (18611537116, jason.lee@hld-cro.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
The 12-month post-procedural rates of target lesion restenosis, stroke recurrence or mortality in the territory of the target vessel. (time frame: From enrollment to the end of follow-up at 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?
