Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial Must have
Target lesion length must be ≤ 36 mm (by visual estimate) and must be covered by only one balloon
Target lesion must have visually estimated stenosis > 50% and < 100% in symptomatic patients (>70% and <100% in asymptomatic patients) prior to lesion pre-dilation
Must not have
Subject with renal insufficiency (creatinine ≥2.0 mg/dl) or failure (dialysis dependent)
Target lesion is located within a saphenous vein or arterial graft
Timeline
Screening 3 weeks
Treatment Varies
Follow Up 12-month

Pivotal Trial
No Placebo-Only Group
Summary
This trial is testing a new medical device called the Agent Paclitaxel Coated PTCA Balloon Catheter in patients who have a blockage in a coronary artery that was previously treated.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients who have had a previous stent placed in their heart's arteries and are now experiencing re-narrowing within the same spot. The affected artery must be between 2.0 mm to 4.0 mm wide, and the blockage up to 36 mm long.
What is being tested?
The study is testing a special drug-coated balloon catheter called AGENT DCB 40 mm, designed to treat narrowed areas inside previously placed stents in heart arteries without needing another stent.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects may include bleeding at the catheter insertion site, blood vessel damage, allergic reactions to the drug on the balloon, or re-blockage of the artery.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: AGENT DCB 40 mmExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Agent DCB 40 mm is a Monorail Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) balloon catheter with a semi-compliant balloon coated with a formulation of paclitaxel (drug) and an excipient, Acetyl-Tri-n-butyl citrate (ATBC). The balloon catheter platform is based on the commercially available BSC Emerge™ PTCA balloon catheter system (K130391).
