About this trial

Patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) often present with diffuse, complex lesions and a higher risk of in-stent restenosis after PCI. While drug-eluting stents (DES) remain the standard treatment, their long-term efficacy in diabetic patients is suboptimal. Drug-coated balloons (DCBs) offer a "leave nothing behind" strategy by delivering anti-proliferative drugs without permanent implants, potentially reducing restenosis and adverse events. Although DCBs have shown promise in selected lesion types, evidence in T2DM patients is limited, particularly from prospective, randomized trials. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of DCB angioplasty compared to conventional strategies in patients with CAD and T2DM, focusing on angiographic outcomes, symptom relief, and major adverse cardiovascular events.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age ≥18 years

Diagnosed CAD with ≥70% stenosis in ≥1 coronary artery confirmed by coronary angiography

Diagnosed type 2 diabetes (per WHO criteria)

Target lesion suitable for DCB (diameter 2.0-4.0 mm, length ≤40 mm)

Disqualifiers

Prior coronary artery bypass surgery or PCI with complications

STEMI within 24 hours

Severe hepatic/renal dysfunction

Active bleeding or uncontrolled anticoagulation

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Drug-Coated Balloon (DCB)

    Device

    Following lesion preparation (usually with a standard balloon), a drug-coated balloon is advanced to the target lesion. The balloon is inflated and maintained to allow effective drug transfer to the vessel wall.

  • Drug-Eluting Stent (DES) implantation

    Device

    After coronary angiography identifies the target lesion, a DES is selected based on the vessel size. Post-deployment angiography is performed to confirm the result and check for complications.

Treatment groups

1,000 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Percutaneous coronary intervention using Drug-Coated Balloon (DCB)Experimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: Either Drug-Eluting Stent (DES) implantation groupActive comparator 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Target Lesion Diameter Stenosis Rate

Target Lesion Diameter Stenosis Rate refers to the percentage of narrowing at the target coronary lesion, calculated by comparing the minimal lumen diameter (MLD) at the lesion site with the reference vessel diameter (RVD), which was measured based on coronary angiography.

Time frame
At 12 months after intervention

Secondary outcomes

1

Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE)

A composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization, or stent thrombosis)

Time frame
At 12 months after intervention
2

Angina Symptom Improvement

Measured by Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) at baseline, 1, 3, and 6 months.

Time frame
At baseline, 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after intervention
3

Changes in glycemic indices including glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c)

Changes in glycemic indices including glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c)

Time frame
At 3, 6 and 12 months after intervention
4

Glycemic indices

Changes in fasting blood glucose, and 2-hour postprandial blood glucose levels

Time frame
At 3, 6 and 12 months after intervention
