Prospective randomized single-blind multicenter study to assess the safety and effectiveness of the SELUTION SLR 014 drug eluting balloon in the treatment of subjects with in-stent restenosis: Rationale and design

Abstract

Background

Repeat drug-eluting stenting is superior to balloon angioplasty for prevention of recurrent in-stent restenosis (ISR), but carries a potential disadvantage of multiple layers of stent. The safety and effectiveness of a sirolimus drug-eluting balloon as an alternative has not been assessed.

Study Design and Methods

The SELUTION4ISR trial is a prospective, multicenter, single-blinded, randomized, controlled trial. A total of 418 subjects with bare metal or drug-eluting stent (DES) ISR with up to 2 previous stent procedures at the target lesion, lesion length <26 mm and reference diameter ≥2.0 mm - ≤4.5 mm will be randomized 1:1 to treatment with either the SELUTION SLR™ DEB (SLR DEB) or standard of care (SOC), which includes either repeat DES or balloon angioplasty without drug coating. A subset of subjects will undergo planned angiographic and optical coherence tomography follow-up. The primary endpoint will be target lesion failure, defined as cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, or clinically-driven target lesion revascularization at 12 months follow-up. The study will sequentially assess noninferiority of the SLR DEB to SOC in the overall cohort, followed by noninferiority then superiority of the SLR DEB to DES in the cohort with only 1 previous stent at the target lesion.

Trial Registration

The trial is registered at Clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04280029).

Current Status

The trial completed enrollment in July 2024.

Conclusion

The SELUTION4ISR study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of SLR DEB in a prospective, randomized, international, multicenter trial for treatment of coronary ISR.
