Drug-coated balloon for heart artery blockages in people with diabetes
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a treatment called a drug-coated balloon (DCB) to open narrowed heart arteries in people with type 2 diabetes. The balloon releases medicine to help keep the artery open, which may improve blood flow to the heart.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with coronary artery disease (CAD) — a condition where the heart arteries are narrowed or blocked.
- You have a blockage of at least 70% in at least one heart artery, confirmed by an angiogram (a special X-ray of your heart arteries).
- You have type 2 diabetes, as defined by standard World Health Organization (WHO) criteria.
- The blockage is suitable for a drug-coated balloon (a small, medicine-releasing balloon used to open narrowed arteries).

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 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 study looks at how well a drug-coated balloon opens blocked heart arteries without leaving a permanent stent. It may help people who had a successful balloon procedure and want to avoid stents.
This study looks at how well a drug-coated balloon (a balloon with medicine that opens blocked heart arteries) works, either alone or with a stent, to treat coronary artery disease. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective over time.
This trial tests a special balloon that releases medicine to open blocked heart arteries. It may help people with chest pain or silent ischemia by keeping arteries open longer.
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.
