About this study

Official title: TITAN-PARADISE Pilot: TicIn for the Treatment of Coronary Lesions - Plaque Regression and Stabilization With Sirolimus Elution (Pilot Study)

The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to evaluate the use of the Selution SLR sirolimus-eluting balloon, in addition to guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT), for the preventive treatment of non-flow-limiting vulnerable coronary lesions, compared to GDMT alone, in adult patients with multivessel coronary artery disease and a recent acute coronary syndrome (within 90 days).

The main research question is:

Participants will undergo

  • PCI procedure with baseline IVUS-NIRS assessment
  • Follow-up coronary angiography at 6 months with IVUS-NIRS assessment
  • Clinical follow-up at 3, 6, and 24 months after study enrollment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sirolimus drug eluting ballooon therapy and Optimal guidelines-directed medical therapies (GDMT) in people with Coronary Arterial Disease (CAD) and Vulnerable Coronary Plaques, run by Cardiocentro Ticino at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 5 inclusion and 10 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Apr 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Switzerland. 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?

Contact Marco Valgimigli Marco Valgimigli, MD, PhD (+41 (0) 91 811 51 11, marco.valgimigli@eoc.ch), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Absolute change in the IVUS-NIRS derived lipid core burden index (MAXLCBI4mm) between baseline and 6-months follow-up. (time frame: Between baseline and 6-months follow-up.). 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 15 Apr 2025.
