About this study

Official title: A Prospective Randomized Multicenter Single Blinded Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of the SELUTION SLR™ 018 Drug Eluting Balloon in the Treatment of Subjects With Femoropopliteal Artery Lesions

This study aims to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the SELUTION SLR™ 018 DEB compared to plain (uncoated) balloon angioplasty in the treatment of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in the superficial femoral artery (SFA) and proximal popliteal artery (PPA).

Read the detailed description

Prospective, multi-center, single blinded, 2:1 randomized, controlled, superiority clinical trial.

This study will enroll up to 300 randomized subjects, and up to 20 subjects in a parallel pharmacokinetic (pK) sub study, at up to 60 clinical sites in the United Stated (US), Europe (EU) and Asia. A minimum of 50% of randomized subjects will be enrolled in the US. No more than 45 subjects (15% of the total randomized cohort) can be enrolled in the randomized cohort at any single investigational site.

Randomized Cohort:

Up to 300 subjects who meet all eligibility criteria will be randomized 2:1 by permuted block method (stratified by site and adjunctive lesion preparation) to one of two treatment arms:

  • Intervention - treatment with SELUTION SLR™ 018 DEB
  • Control - treatment with commercially available PTA (uncoated balloon)

Pharmacokinetic (pK) Sub-study:

The pK substudy is a parallel registry consisting of up to 20 additional consecutive subjects meeting all eligibility criteria treated with the SELUTION DEB recruited at select study sites. The separate PK substudy protocol details the schedule of evaluations and blood draws to characterize the pK plasma profile of sirolimus.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing SELUTION SLR™ 018 DEB and Plain (Uncoated) Balloon Angioplasty (PTA) in people with Peripheral Arterial Disease and Superficial Femoral Artery Stenosis, run by M.A. Med Alliance S.A. at 38 sites in 4 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jan 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 38 sites in United States, Germany, Hong Kong, Austria. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Primary Efficacy Endpoint (time frame: 12 months). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Jan 2026.
