About this study

Official title: AnGiographic Performance Following PCI With A Sirolimus-elutiNG Balloon in the TrEatment of De Novo CoronaRy Artery Disease: GINGER Study

Evaluate angiographic performance in long lesions of Sirolimus Eluting Balloon Magic Touch by Concept Medical

Read the detailed description

To assess the angiographic performance of the Magic Touch Sirolimus-Coated Balloon (SCB) at 9 months follow-up after PCI for de novo CAD.

Primary end-points:

  • Late lumen loss (LLL) at the SCB-treated segment within 9 months after the index procedure;
  • Mean net lumen diameter gain at the SCB-treated segment at 9 months angiographic follow-up.

Secondary end-points:

  • Procedural success defined as both SCB delivery and inflation at the "target" lesion site with <30% diameter stenosis (DS) in the SCB-treated segment and distal Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) 3 flow;
  • Peri-procedural myocardial infarction (PMI) defined according to the EXCEL trial (creatinine kinase myocardial band) or Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions definitions (troponin);
  • Binary restenosis rate at the SCB-treated segment at 9 months angiographic follow-up;
  • A Device Oriented Composite End-point (DOCE) and its singular components (cardiac death, any target-vessel myocardial infarction excluding PMI, ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization) in-hospital, within 7 days after PCI; phone follow-up at 30-day (+/- 7 days) and 12 months (+/- 1 month) and a follow-up visit at 9 months (+/- 1 month). Any definite/probable SCB-treated segment thrombosis (in-hospital, within 7 days after PCI and at 30-day, 9-month, 1-year follow-up).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Magic Touch SCB by Concept Medical Inc. in people with Coronary Restenosis, run by Fondazione Evidence per Attività e Ricerche Cardiovascolari ONLUS at 7 sites in Italy.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Dec 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in Italy. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

late lumen loss at 9 months measured by quantitative coronary angiography (time frame: 18 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05471245, which also lists 12 linked publications.

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 3 Dec 2025; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
