A Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of the Passeo-18 Lux Drug-coated Balloon of Biotronik in the Treatment of the Femoropopliteal Artery Compared to the Medtronic IN.PACT Admiral Drug-coated Balloon.

The BIOPACT RCT tiral investigates the efficacy and safety of stenosis, restenosis or occlusions in the femoropopliteal artery of patients presenting a rutherford classification 2,3 or 4 with a Passeo-18 Lux drug-coated balloon of Biotronik. The Paclitaxel eluting balloons are designed for percutaneous transluminal angioplasties in which the balloon will dilate the artery upon inflation and deliver the paclitaxel locally. An expected total of 151 patients will be treated with the Passeo-18 Lux and compared to a control group of another 151 patients that will be treated with the IN.PACT Admiral drug-coated balloon of Medtronic. Assignment to the treatment groups will be at random. The study will be conducted in two phases. A first pilot study phase of 120 patients distributed evenly over both treatment groups and a second phase to formally test the non-inferiority hypothesis. The balloon is coated with Paclitaxel intended to avoid cellular proliferation. The drug is released by means of rapid inflation as to release a high dose in a short amount of time. Patients will be invited for a follow-up visit at 1, 6 and 12 months post-procedure. The primary efficacy endpoints are defined as follows. Freedom from clinically-driven target lesion revascularization at 12 months. Freedom from device- and procedure-related death through 30 days post-index procedure, major target limb amputation through 12 months post-procedure and clinically-driven target vessel revascularization through 12 months post-index procedure. The secondary endpoints are defined as acute device success, acute procedural success , freedom from all cause of death, major target limb amputation and clinically driven target vessel revascularisation through 30 days post-procedure, sustained clinical improvement, no major adverse events through 6 and 12 months post-procedure, primary patency, target lesion revascularisation, target vessel revascularisation, binary restenosis, major target limb amputation, thrombosis at target lesion, change of walking impairment questionnaire score from baseline, change in target limb rutherford classification or ABI.
