Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS)
Interventions
Device: Drug-coated balloon
Drug: Guideline-directed medical treatment
Registration Number
NCT06449274
Lead Sponsor
Harbin Medical University
Brief Summary

The objective of this imaging substudy of RESTORE trial is to demonstrate the superiority of drug-coated balloon (DCB) treatment on non-flow limited vulnerable plaque as compared to guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) in improving plaque stabilization in patients with acute coronary syndrome.

Detailed Description

The present study is an integrated imaging substudy of randomized, controlled and intervention trial of preventive drug-coated balloon angioplasty in vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque (RESTORE). The RESTORE Imaging trial will equally enroll from the DCB arm and GDMT arm to at least 180 consecutive individuals to validate the superiority of drug-coated balloon (DCB) treatment on non-flow limited vulnerable plaque as compared to guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) in enlarge luminal dimensions.

Exclusion Criteria
  1. Subject has known hypersensitivity or contraindication to any of the study drugs (including all asprin, P2Y12 inhibitors, one or more components of the study devices, including paclitaxel, etc) that cannot be adequately pre-medicated
  2. Subject is receiving immunosuppressant therapy or has known immunosuppressive or severe autoimmune disease that requires chronic immunosuppressive therapy (e.g., human immunodeficiency virus, systemic lupus erythematosus, etc.)

  7. Subject is currently participating in another investigational drug or device clinical study that has not yet completed its primary endpoint
  8. Presence of other anatomic or comorbid conditions, or other medical, social, or psychological conditions that, in the investigator's opinion, could limit the subject's ability to participate in the clinical investigation or to comply with follow-up requirements, or impact the scientific soundness of the clinical investigation results.
  9. The target lesion is located within 10 mm of the proximal or distal of stent
  10. The target lesion cannot be in the left main coronary artery

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Minimal lumen area (MLA)At 12 months

OCT-MLA

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Absolute change and percent change of MLA;At 12 months

Absolute change of MLA (mm2) is defined as the difference between baseline and follow-up MLA in OCT imaging. Percent change of MLA (%) is defined as absolute change of MLA divided by baseline MLA.

Absolute change and percent change of maximum plaque burden (PB);At 12 months

Absolute change of maximum PB (%) is defined as the difference between baseline and follow-up PB in IVUS imaging. Percent change of plaque burden (%) is defined as absolute change of PB divided by baseline PB.

Absolute change and percent change of fibrous cap thickness (FCT);At 12 months

Absolute change of FCT (μm) is defined as the difference between baseline and follow-up FCT in OCT imaging. Percent change of FCT (%) is defined as absolute change of FCT divided by baseline FCT.

Absolute change and percent change of maximum lipid arc;At 12 months

Absolute change of maximum lipid arc (°) is defined as the difference between baseline and follow-up maximum lipid arc in OCT imaging. Percent change of maximum lipid arc (%) is defined as absolute change of maximum lipid arc divided by baseline maximum lipid arc.
