About

The DynamX (Bioadaptor) study is a prospective, consecutive enrollment study designed to enroll up to 50 patients requiring treatment of a single, de novo lesion ≤ 24 mm in length located in a vessel ≥ 2.5 mm and ≤ 3.5 mm in diameter. All patients be followed clinically at 30 days, 6 and 9 months, and 1, 2 and 3 years.

All patients will undergo imaging (angiography and IVUS) follow-up with approximately one-half of the patients returning for follow up at 9 months and approximately one-half returning for follow up at 12 months.

Full description

The DynamX (Bioadaptor) study is a prospective, consecutive enrollment study designed to enroll up to 50 patients requiring treatment of a single, de novo lesion ≤ 24 mm in length located in a vessel ≥ 2.5 mm and ≤ 3.5 mm in diameter. All patients be followed clinically at 30 days, 6 and 9 months, and 1, 2 and 3 years.

All patients will undergo imaging (angiography and IVUS) follow-up with approximately one-half of the patients returning for follow up at 9 months and approximately one-half returning for follow up at 12 months.

At select centers, a subset of approximately 20 patients will undergo FFR pressure wire measurement at baseline and at follow-up (or at a minimum follow-up) in conjunction with the IVUS imaging, and will also undergo OCT imaging at 9 or 12 months.

The primary safety endpoint is Target Lesion Failure at 6 months. TLF is a composite endpoint defined as cardiac death, target vessel MI, and clinically-indicated target lesion revascularization.

The primary imaging/efficacy endpoints for those patients undergoing imaging follow-up is the change in mean in-device area and mean lumen area at 9 or 12 months compared to post-procedure as measured by IVUS.

Co-primary imaging/efficacy endpoints for those patients undergoing imaging follow-up is late lumen loss as measured by QCA and IVUS at 9 or 12 months.

Enrollment: 50 patients

Ages: 18+ years old

Inclusion and exclusion criteria

General Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patient must be at least 18 years of age.
2. Patient is able to verbally confirm understanding of risks, benefits and treatment alternatives of receiving the DynamX Novolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System (CSS) and he/she provides written informed consent, as approved by the appropriate Ethics Committee of the respective clinical site, prior to any clinical study related procedure.
3. Patient must have evidence of myocardial ischemia (e.g., stable or unstable angina, silent ischemia, positive functional study or electrocardiogram (ECG) changes consistent with ischemia)
4. Patient must be an acceptable candidate for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery
5. Patient must agree to undergo all clinical study required follow-up visits, angiograms, and IVUS testing
6. Patient must agree not to participate in any other clinical study for a period of one year following the index procedure.

Angiographic Inclusion Criteria - Target Lesion/Vessel

1. Target lesion must be located in a native coronary artery with a nominal vessel diameter of ≥ 2.5 and ≤3.5 mm assessed visually or by online QCA
2. Target lesion must measure ≤ 24 mm in length
3. Target lesion must be in a major artery or branch with a visually estimated stenosis of ≥ 50% and < 90% with a TIMI flow of ≥ 2
4. The lesion must be successfully pre-dilated (less than 35% DS) prior to enrollment

Angiographic Inclusion Criteria - non-Target Lesion/Vessel Treatment

1. Treatment of a single, non-target lesion located in a separate major epicardial vessel (defined as LAD with septal and diagonal branches, LCX with obtuse marginal and/or ramus intermedius branches and RCA and any of its branches) attempted during the index procedure must be completed first using an approved 'olimus drug eluting stent. The segment must be located such that any injury that might occur during intervention can be clearly attributable to the treated non-target vessel. If the procedure is deemed uncomplicated and optimal, treatment of the target lesion with the DynamX stent can be considered.

Optimal lesion/vessel treatment defined as:

• < 10% but no more than 15% residual diameter stenosis by visual assessment
• no evidence of dissection
• no evidence of thrombus in the treated lesion or vessel
• TIMI 3 flow
• Stent completely covers lesion and extends to healthy vessel on both sides (healthy to healthy)

General Exclusion Criteria

1. Patient has a known diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) within 72 hours preceding the index procedure and CK and CK-MB have not returned within normal limits at the time of procedure
2. Patient is currently experiencing clinical symptoms consistent with AMI
3. Patient requires the use of any rotablator intervention during the index procedure
4. Patient has current unstable arrhythmias
5. Patient presenting with heart failure, chronic arrhythmia, COPD or lung function impairment
6. Patient has a known left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 30%
7. Patient has received a heart transplant or any other organ transplant or is on a waiting list for any organ transplant
8. Patient is receiving or scheduled to receive chemotherapy for malignancy within 30 days prior to or after the procedure
9. Patient is receiving immunosuppression therapy and has known immunosuppressive or autoimmune disease (e.g. human immunodeficiency virus, systemic lupus erythematosus etc.)
10. Patient is receiving chronic anticoagulation therapy (e.g., heparin, coumadin) that cannot be stopped and restarted according to local hospital standard procedures.
11. Patient has a known hypersensitivity or contraindication to aspirin, both heparin and bivalirudin, clopidogrel, prasugrel or ticagrelor, Novolimus, CoCr alloys, PLLA polymers or contrast sensitivity that cannot be adequately pre-medicated
12. Elective surgery is planned within the first 6 months after the procedure that will require discontinuing either aspirin or clopidogrel or other P2Y12 inhibitors.
13. Patient has a platelet count < 100,000 cells/mm3 or > 700,000 cells/mm3, a WBC of < 3,000 cells/mm3, or documented or suspected liver disease.
14. Patient has known renal insufficiency (e.g., serum creatinine level of more than 2.5 mg/dL, or patient on dialysis)
15. Patient has a history of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy or will refuse blood transfusions
16. Patient has had a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or transient ischemic neurological attack (TIA) within the past six months

18. Patient has extensive peripheral vascular disease that precludes safe 6 French sheath insertion
19. Patient has other medical illness (e.g., cancer or congestive heart failure) or known history of substance abuse (alcohol, cocaine, heroin etc.) that may cause non-compliance with the clinical study plan, confound the data interpretation or is associated with a limited life expectancy (i.e., less than one year)
20. Patient is already participating in another clinical study which has not reached the primary endpoint (long-term follow-up is not an exclusion)

   2. Left main location
   3. Tapering within target segment of 0.5mm or greater

   9. Excessive tortuosity or angulation (≥ 45o) proximal to or within the lesion
   10. The proximal target vessel or target lesion is moderately or severely calcified by visual assessment, or lesion prevents full pre-dilatation balloon expansion

4. Patient has a high probability that a procedure other than pre-dilatation and stenting and (if necessary) post-dilatation will be required at the time of index procedure for treatment of the target vessel (e.g. atherectomy, cutting balloon)

6. Non-Target vessel was previously treated with any type of PCI < 30 days prior to the index procedure
