Surmodics, Inc. (NASDAQ:SRDX) announced promising results from the SWING Trial of its Sundance™ Sirolimus drug-coated balloon (DCB), a treatment for occlusive infra-popliteal disease. Presented at the VEITHsymposium in New York, 12-month data showed an 80% primary patency rate in the per protocol population. The trial, which followed 35 subjects, reported no perioperative deaths and only one major re-intervention. The efficacy endpoint of late lumen loss was measured at 1.0 mm at six months, indicating sustained results. The DCB is currently for investigational use only and not yet available for sale.

Sundance™ Sirolimus Drug-Coated Balloon exhibits excellent safety profile

Primary patency maintained at 12 months in 80% of per protocol analysis population

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Surmodics, Inc. (NASDAQ:SRDX) (the “Company”), a leading provider of medical device and in vitro diagnostic technologies to the health care industry, today announced that 12-month data from the SWING Trial, a first-in-human study of the Company’s Sundance™ Sirolimus drug-coated balloon (DCB) was presented at the 49th Annual Symposium on Vascular and Endovascular Issues (VEITHsymposium) in New York City.

The SWING Trial is a 35-subject prospective, multi-center, single-arm, feasibility study to evaluate the safety and performance of the Sundance Sirolimus DCB when used to treat occlusive disease of the infra-popliteal arteries. The Swing Trial enrolled subjects with stenotic or occluded lesions of the infrapopliteal arteries, a reference vessel diameter of 2 mm to 4 mm, and a total lesion length of ≤230 mm for treatment with the Sundance Sirolimus DCB at eight sites in Australia, New Zealand, and/or Europe. They will be followed for 36 months post index procedure.

The primary safety endpoint is defined as the number of subjects with a composite of freedom from Major Adverse Limb Event (MALE) and perioperative death at 30 days following the index procedure. The primary efficacy endpoint is the rate of late lumen loss at 6 months, as assessed by quantitative vascular angiography. Both primary endpoints of the SWING Trial were achieved.

Primary safety endpoint data showed no perioperative deaths or major amputations at 30 days, and just one major re-intervention was reported among the 35 trial subjects. The per protocol (PP) population reported an 8.0% rate of major adverse events (two clinically driven target limb revascularizations) at 6 months, with no additional adverse events reported for PP subjects in the 12-month data. Primary efficacy data show late lumen loss of 1.0 mm (±.79 mm) across 35 lesions at 6 months, indicating that the large luminal gain achieved immediately after the procedure was sustained post procedure.

Target lesion primary patency rate, defined as freedom from target vessel occlusion or target lesion revascularization associated with deterioration or Rutherford Clinical Classification and/or increase in size of pre-existing wounds (or occurrence of new wounds), and lesion restenosis >50%, was 80% at 12 months in the PP population. The Rutherford Clinical Classification describes 7 categories of peripheral artery disease, including both the patient's clinical symptoms as well as objective findings, and is used to assess disease progression.

“Patient-reported outcome measures have continued to improve from baseline throughout the first 12 months for our modified intent to treat subject population,” said SWING Trial co-lead investigator Professor Ramon Varcoe, MBBS, MS, FRACS, PHD, MMed (ClinEpi). “The SWING Trial demonstrates that the Sundance Sirolimus DCB has tremendous promise and warrants evaluation in a large-scale pivotal trial.”

“Improvement in Rutherford Clinical Classification increased between the 1-month, 6-month, and 12-month endpoints, with significant clinical improvement demonstrated in 76% of per protocol subjects at 12 months,” added SWING Trial co-lead investigator Professor Andrew Holden, MD, MBChB, FRANZCR, EBIR, ONZM.

About the Sundance™ Sirolimus Drug Coated Balloon

The Sundance Sirolimus Drug-Coated Balloon utilizes a next-generation coating technology consisting of microcrystalline sirolimus and a proprietary excipient to maximize drug transfer, enhancing sirolimus delivery and sustaining therapeutic levels in the artery. Sirolimus, a potent anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative compound, has been used successfully in coronary drug-eluting stents. The delivery of sirolimus to the vessel wall during mechanical dilatation provides an ancillary action of inhibiting the proliferation of cells, with the intended purpose of reducing restenosis. The Sundance Sirolimus Drug-Coated Balloon is not available for sale anywhere in the world, and currently is for investigational use only.
