Drug-coated balloon for heart disease with diabetes
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a drug-coated balloon (a balloon with medicine) to open blocked heart arteries in people who also have type 2 diabetes. It may help improve blood flow without permanent stents.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have coronary artery disease (blocked heart arteries) with at least 70% narrowing in one or more arteries, confirmed by an angiogram.
- You have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
- The blocked area(s) can be treated with a drug-coated balloon—the artery is 2.0 to 4.0 mm wide and the blockage is 40 mm or shorter.
- You have not had prior heart bypass surgery or a stent procedure with complications.
- You are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding, and you do not have severe liver or kidney problems, active bleeding, or an allergy to balloon components.

This trial studies a balloon treatment coated with medicine (to help keep the artery open) for people with coronary artery disease. You may be a candidate if you are planned to receive this type of procedure and do not have certain key safety risks.
This trial tests how the way a drug-coated balloon is used during a heart procedure affects outcomes for people with stable heart disease or unstable angina. It may help doctors find the best technique to keep arteries open.
This trial tests a special balloon coated with medicine to open blocked coronary arteries (blood vessels to the heart). The procedure uses ultrasound and imaging guidance to help doctors decide whether to use the drug-coated balloon alone, which may reduce the need for stents and future complications.
This trial is looking at how well a special balloon that releases medicine works to open blocked heart arteries. It may help people who have not had a stent placed in the same spot before.
This study compares two treatments for new blockages in large heart arteries: a drug-coated balloon (a balloon that releases medicine) versus a drug-coated stent (a small mesh tube). The goal is to see which one better helps the artery stay open and function normally.
This study tracks outcomes in adults who receive a special balloon catheter (coated with medication) to open blocked heart arteries. Researchers collect data to understand how well this treatment works and any side effects that occur.
