An interventional study of Drug Eluting Balloon and Drug eluting stent in Coronary Arterial Disease (CAD) and de Novo Lesions in Native Coronary Arteries, sponsored by Boston Scientific Corporation. Recruiting at 69 sites in 9 countries. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-09-29.
Sponsored by Boston Scientific Corporation · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
AGENT DCB STANCE is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, 1:1 randomized controlled study designed to assess the safety and effectiveness of a treatment strategy with the AGENT Drug-Coated Balloon compared to standard of care percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) treatment with drug eluting stent (DES) and/or balloon angioplasty in patients with de novo coronary lesions.
Subjects must have a de novo target lesion located in a native coronary artery.
The study will also contain a PK sub study and an IVUS sub study.

Target Lesion Failure (TLF) rate
Target Lesion Failure (TLF) rate - defined as any ischemia-driven revascularization of the target lesion (TLR), myocardial infarction (MI, Q-wave and non-Q-wave) related to the target vessel, or cardiac death. The MI events include the Peri-Procedural MI (PPMI) according to the SCAI MI definition and the spontaneous MI according to the 4th Universal MI definition.
