Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?Prospective, randomized controlled, single-blind, multicenter, clinical trial to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the SELUTION SLR 014 PTCA DEB for treatment of de novo lesions in small coronary vessels, defined as reference vessel diameter (RVD) of 2.00 mm to 2.75 mm, in support of a pre-market approval (PMA) application to the United States (US) FDA. The Study will enroll up to 910 randomized subjects, up to 30 subjects in a parallel angiographic substudy, and up to 20 subjects in a parallel pharmacokinetic (pK) substudy, at up to 80 sites in the US, Canada, Brazil, Japan and Europe. A minimum of 50% of the subjects will be enrolled in the US.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial requires that participants can tolerate dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and another medication like Clopidogrel, Prasugrel, or Ticagrelor. If you are taking strong CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers, you may need to stop them 14 days before the procedure and during the study period. The protocol does not specify other medication restrictions, so it's best to discuss your current medications with the study team.

What data supports the effectiveness of the SELUTION SLR treatment for coronary artery disease?

The Selution SLR drug-coated balloon (DCB) is a new treatment that releases a drug called sirolimus, which helps prevent the artery from narrowing again after a procedure. It has shown promise in treating complex coronary artery lesions, suggesting it could be effective for coronary artery disease.

Is the SELUTION SLR DCB and -limus DES safe for humans?

Research shows that various -limus drug-eluting stents, including sirolimus and zotarolimus types, have been studied for safety, with some concerns about issues like in-stent restenosis (narrowing of the stent) and very late stent thrombosis (blood clot formation). The SELUTION SLR drug-coated balloon has been evaluated for safety in treating certain artery diseases, indicating it is generally safe for human use.

12367
What makes the SELUTION SLR DCB drug unique for treating coronary artery disease?

The SELUTION SLR drug-coated balloon (DCB) is unique because it uses a biodegradable polymer to create micro-reservoirs that release sirolimus, an antiproliferative drug, in a controlled manner. This approach aims to reduce issues like in-stent restenosis and very late stent thrombosis, which are concerns with traditional drug-eluting stents.

[2022]In the ISAR-TEST-2 (Intracoronary Stenting and Angiographic Results: Test Efficacy of Three Limus-Eluting Stents) randomized trial, a new-generation sirolimus- and probucol-eluting stent (Dual-DES) demonstrated a 12-month efficacy that was comparable to sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) (Cypher, Cordis Corp., Warren, New Jersey) and superior to zotarolimus-eluting stents (ZES) (Endeavor, Medtronic CardioVascular, Santa Rosa, California). The aim of the current study was to investigate the comparative clinical and angiographic effectiveness of SES, Dual-DES, and ZES between 1 and 2 years.

The SELUTION SLR™ drug-eluting balloon system for the treatment of symptomatic femoropopliteal lesions. [2021]Endovascular treatment has become first line therapy for the treatment of femoropopliteal disease. Drug-coated devices play a key role in maintaining vessel patency. In the past antiproliferative coating of drug-coated balloons (DCBs) exclusively consisted of paclitaxel. Use of limus drugs was limited by a short residency time in the vessel wall. Besides the drug, the SELUTION SLR™ drug-eluting balloon system consists of a coating formulation of four excipients. The first excipient is a biodegradable polymer (poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)) that is intermixed with the sirolimus to form micro-reservoirs and regulates drug release via matrix degradation. This review summarizes the existing pre-clinical and clinical literature on treatment of femoropopliteal artery lesions with the SELUTION SLR DCB.
Six-Month Outcomes From the First-in-Human, Single-Arm SELUTION Sustained-Limus-Release Drug-Eluting Balloon Trial in Femoropopliteal Lesions. [2020]Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the novel SELUTION sustained-limus-release (SLR) drug-eluting balloon (DEB) in the treatment of femoropopliteal lesions. Materials and Methods: Between October 2016 and May 2017, 50 subjects (mean age 69.6±10.4 years; 29 men) with symptomatic moderate to severe lower limb ischemia (Rutherford categories 2 or 3) were enrolled at 4 German centers for the SELUTION SLR first-in-human trial (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02941224). The SELUTION SLR utilizes micro-reservoirs (biodegradable polymer spheres containing sirolimus) embedded within an amphipathic membrane coated onto an angioplasty balloon. The biodegradable reservoirs are transferred to the target vessel lumen during brief balloon inflation. The primary trial objective was comparison of angiographic late lumen loss at 6 months against an objective performance criterion (OPC) value of 1.04 mm for uncoated balloon angioplasty. Secondary endpoints included device, procedural, and clinical success; clinical and imaging assessments of primary patency and restenosis; functional assessments including Rutherford category and ankle-brachial index (ABI); and major adverse events [composite of cardiovascular mortality, index limb amputation, target limb thrombosis, and clinically-driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR)]. Results: At 6 months, median angiographic late lumen loss following SELUTION SLR treatment was 0.19 mm (range -1.16 to 3.07). Mean angiographic late lumen loss (n=34) was 0.29±0.84 mm (95% CI -0.01 to 0.58), significantly lower than the 1.04-mm OPC value (p<0.001). The rate of primary patency by duplex ultrasound was 88.4%, and freedom from angiographic binary restenosis was 91.2%. Through 6 months, there was significant improvement over baseline in Rutherford categories (p<0.001) and in ABI measurements (p<0.001). A single case (2%) of CD-TLR occurred at 5 months. There were no other major adverse events. Conclusion: Through 6 months, the SELUTION SLR DEB appears to inhibit restenosis effectively and safely, improving outcomes in subjects with symptomatic femoropopliteal disease.
