Coated balloon for non-cancerous airway narrowing
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a special balloon coated with a medicine (paclitaxel) to open narrowed windpipes. It is for people whose windpipe is blocked by scar tissue from a ventilator, transplant, or other non-cancer causes, not from cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 22 years or older.
- You have a narrowing in your windpipe or main breathing tubes that is at least 50% blocked, and it is not caused by cancer.
- Your doctor believes a balloon procedure using a breathing scope and general anesthesia is safe and likely to work for you.
- You are willing to have follow-up visits as the study requires.
- You can understand and sign a consent form.

This study tests a drug-coated balloon (DCB) that releases two medicines (sirolimus and paclitaxel) to open blocked small heart arteries. It may help people with stable chest pain or recent, controlled heart events who have a narrowed small vessel.
This study compares two kinds of drug-coated balloons used during angioplasty to open narrowed heart arteries in people with acute coronary syndrome. Both balloons slowly release medicine to help keep the artery open, and the trial aims to see if one works better than the other.
This trial tests a special balloon that releases medication to open narrowed heart arteries and keep them open. It is for people who have had a stent that narrowed again or who have a small new narrowing in their heart arteries.
This trial is studying a special balloon coated with a drug that helps keep heart arteries open after they are cleared. It might be an option for people with narrowed heart arteries who need a less invasive treatment.
This trial is studying how well drug-coated balloons work for people with coronary artery disease. It looks at their use in many different situations, including new blockages, re-narrowed stents, and complex cases. The goal is to see if they are a good option for opening blocked 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.
