Randomised Trial of Dual Device Treatment Involving Drug-coated Balloon Angioplasty and Drug-eluting Stent Implantation Compared to Single Device Treatments in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus

Summary

Purpose of this study:

The purpose of the study is to find out whether using a drug coated balloon in combination with a drug-eluting stent is better than the standard practice of using either device on its own. This study is specifically looking at patients with diabetes who have coronary artery disease. This means that their arteries become restricted or blocked, and these restrictions or blockages are called lesions. The study will look at diabetic patients undergoing treatment for lesions in segments of their coronary arteries that have not previously been treated with stents. These are called 'de novo' lesions.

The treatment being investigated:

In this study, we are comparing two devices, either used together or on their own to treat coronary artery disease. These devices are commercially available in Europe and carry the mark. This study is being carried out to compare the effectiveness of combining the two devices or using them individually:

* Pantera® Lux® Paclitaxel Drug Coated Balloon, abbreviated Pantera® Lux® (DCB) A drug coated balloon is a balloon which is covered by an anti-proliferative drug.
* Orsiro® biodegradable polymer Sirolimus Eluting Stent Orsiro® (DES) A stent is a short, wire mesh tube that acts like a scaffold to keep your artery open. A drug eluting stent is coated with medication that reduces the risk of the artery becoming blocked again.

Both drug-eluting stents and drug-coated balloons are used routinely for the treatment of 'de novo' coronary artery disease in Europe.

How will the study be carried out?

This study is being conducted in 4 hospitals across Ireland. We aim to recruit 120 participants s in this study. If you agree to participate in this study and sign the informed consent form, you will be asked to participate in the screening process, which will determine if you meet the conditions to participate in the study.

You will be "randomised" into one of the 3 study groups. Randomisation means that you are put into a group by chance (similarly to the roll of a dice). Neither you nor your doctor can choose the group you will be in. You will not know which group you were placed in until the end of the study. However, your doctor will know which study group you were placed in.

* 40 patients will be treated with Pantera® Lux® (Drug Coated Balloon) only
* 40 patients will be treated with Orsiro® (Drug Eluting Stent) only
* 40 patients will be treated with a combination of both Pantera® Lux® (Drug Coated Balloon) and Orsiro® (Drug Eluting Stent).

If you agree to participate in the study you will be invited to come back for a check-up angiogram 6 months after your procedure to make sure that the treatment has been a success. This is sometimes done in normal clinical practice, but it is not done routinely. You will not be charged for this additional test.
