Study summary

The study objective is the assessment of safety and clinical performance of Freesolve 35- and 40-mm in de novo coronary artery lesions up to 38 mm length.

Read the detailed description

In the study presented here, an extension of the Freesolve size range (35 and 40 mm scaffold length) will be investigated with the aim of assessment the safety and clinical performance of 35 and 40 mm Freesolve in de novo coronary artery lesions up to 38 mm in length to support CE certification of these sizes.

BIOMAG-LL is a pre-marketing study. It is a prospective, international, multi-center, single arm trial. The primary endpoint of the study will be Target Lesion Failure (TLF) rate at 12 months. Clinical follow-up will be conducted at 1, 6, 12, 36, and 60 months post-procedure.

The total duration of the study is approximately six and a half years, including the fifteen-month recruitment phase and the five-year follow-up period. A sample size of 100 patients is expected.

In addition, it is intended to conduct a pharmacokinetic substudy. The objective of this substudy is to describe the pharmacokinetics of sirolimus delivered by Freesolve. For this purpose, 15 patients will be prospectively enrolled in the substudy with a whole blood sample collected up to seven days after the procedure.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(10)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)

The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.

ECG (electrocardiogram)

A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Life expectancy

The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.

TIA (transient ischaemic attack)

A “mini-stroke”: temporary stroke-like symptoms caused by reduced blood flow to part of the brain, spinal cord or eye, without signs of a new stroke on a scan.

Stroke symptoms need emergency care at once, even if they go away.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Started Feb 2025 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jun 2027, 28 months after the start.

Of 177 industry-sponsored interventional studies with no phase under Coronary Artery Disease, half reached primary completion within 24 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 14 and three quarters within 40. This study's planned 28 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 930 studies reached it within 30 months; a quarter within 15 and three quarters within 50.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
