A Prospective, Randomized, Multi-center Trial Comparing the MagicTouch PTA Sirolimus-coated Balloon to Paclitaxel-coated Balloons for the Treatment of Stenotic or Occluded Femoropopliteal Arteries in Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) Patients.
Sponsor: Concept Medical Inc.
Summary
Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA), in which a balloon is advanced and inflated in the obstructed artery for several seconds to minutes, has become the standard endovascular treatment for peripheral arteries. The long-term success of bare balloon PTA in the femoropopliteal segment is hampered by the occurrence of restenosis, which can be reduced by local antiproliferative drug delivery via the PTA balloon catheter. The rationale of this trial is based on the hypothesis that the usage of the MagicTouch drug-coated balloon (DCB) is at least equal (non-inferior) with regard to efficacy and safety in comparison with a clinically well-established paclitaxel drug-coated balloon (PTX DCB). The objective of this prospective, randomized, multi-center trial is to compare the Magic Touch® DCB with PTX DCBs for treatment of high-grade stenotic or occluded lesions in supeficial femoral artery (SFA) and/or P1 segment of the popliteal artery in PAD patients.

Interventions
Sirolimus (RAPAMUNE) drug-coated balloon angioplasty catheter
Sirolimus is used outside the United States to block cell growth, cell proliferation (especially T-cells), and angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation). This experimental device uses proprietary technology to adhere sirolimus to the balloon catheter, deliver it to the affected vessel, and ultimately be absorbed by the surrounding tissue.
Paclitaxel drug-coated balloon angioplasty
Paclitaxel, which is used in cancer chemotherapy for various indications, is a drug that disrupts normal microtubule function and prevents neointimal hyperplasia by inhibiting smooth muscle cell migration, proliferation, and extracellular matrix secretion and is currently used in the United States.
