Indications for Use
The AGENT™ Paclitaxel-Coated Balloon Catheter is intended to be used after appropriate vessel preparation in adult patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in coronary arteries 2.0 mm to 4.0 mm in diameter and lesions up to 26 mm in length for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion when treating in-stent restenosis (ISR).
Device Story
The AGENT Paclitaxel-Coated Balloon Catheter is a monorail, semi-compliant PTCA catheter used in coronary interventions. It features a balloon coated with TransPax™ (paclitaxel and acetyl tributyl citrate) to inhibit neointimal proliferation. The device is advanced over a guidewire (≤0.014 in) to the target lesion. Upon inflation, the balloon mechanically expands the vessel while transferring paclitaxel to the arterial wall. It is operated by physicians in a cardiac catheterization lab. The output is the mechanical dilation of the stenosis and localized drug delivery, which reduces the rate of target lesion failure and restenosis compared to plain old balloon angioplasty (POBA). The device benefits patients by improving myocardial perfusion and reducing the need for repeat revascularization.
Clinical Evidence
PMA approval based on the AGENT IDE Study, a prospective, multicenter, 2:1 randomized controlled superiority trial (N=600). Primary endpoint: 1-year target lesion failure (TLF). Results: AGENT DCB demonstrated superiority to POBA with 1-year TLF rates of 18.2% vs 29.0% (p=0.0051). Safety endpoints (death, MI, stent thrombosis) were comparable or favored AGENT. Supplemental data from the AGENT Japan SV Study (non-inferiority) and ISR Substudy supported these findings.
Technological Characteristics
Monorail, semi-compliant PTCA catheter; stainless steel hypotube; dual-lumen distal section. Balloon coated with paclitaxel (active) and acetyl tributyl citrate (excipient) at 2 µg/mm² density. Hydrophilic ZGlide™ shaft coating. Radiopaque marker bands for fluoroscopic positioning. Sterilized via 100% ethylene oxide (EO) cycle per ISO 11135:2014. Compatible with ≤0.014 in guidewires.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult patients undergoing PCI for in-stent restenosis in native coronary arteries (2.0-4.0 mm diameter, lesions ≤26 mm). Contraindicated in supra-aortic/cerebrovascular arteries, unprotected left main disease, coronary spasm without stenosis, paclitaxel hypersensitivity, inability to receive antiplatelet/anticoagulant therapy, and pregnancy/breastfeeding.

V. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The AGENT™ Paclitaxel-Coated Balloon Catheter (hereafter referred to as AGENT Drug-Coated Balloon (DCB), AGENT Balloon Catheter, or AGENT DCB) is a monorail, semi-compliant percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) catheter; the balloon portion of the device is coated with a TransPax™ coating (paclitaxel as the active pharmaceutical ingredient and acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC) as the excipient). The AGENT Drug-Coated Balloon, see Figure 1, is designed to inhibit restenosis by delivering drug to the diseased arterial tissue. The distal section of the catheter is dual lumen and coaxial.
The outer lumen is used for inflation of the balloon to conform to the vessel wall, and the inner lumen permits the use of guidewires ≤0.014 in (0.36 mm) to facilitate advancement of the catheter. The proximal section of the catheter is a single-lumen, stainless steel hypotube with a single luer port hub for inflation/deflation of the balloon during drug delivery. The semi-compliant balloon is designed to provide an inflatable segment of known diameter and length at recommended pressures. The balloon is available in diameters of 2.0-4.0 mm and in lengths of 12-30 mm. A balloon protector is placed over the drug-coated balloon to maintain a low profile and to protect the balloon and drug coating. A mandrel is placed into the inner lumen to protect the patency of the catheter during storage. The catheter tip is tapered to facilitate advancement of the catheter to the treatment area and through the stenosis. The shaft is coated with a hydrophilic coating (ZGlide™), which is present from the guidewire port to just proximal to the balloon. The

effective length of the catheter is $144~\mathrm{cm}$ . Marks on the proximal portion of the catheter shaft indicate the exit of the balloon catheter tip out of the guide catheter (one mark at 90 cm and two marks at $100~\mathrm{cm}$ ). Two radiopaque marker bands, in conjunction with fluoroscopy, aid in positioning the AGENT Drug-Coated Balloon.

Figure 1: AGENT Paclitaxel-Coated Balloon Catheter
The AGENT DCB's catheter is identical to the cleared Emerge™ PTCA Balloon Catheter System (K163174). The coating used on the AGENT DCB's balloon, including its drug dose density, is the identical TransPax drug coating as used on the Ranger™ DCB (P190019).
# Mechanism of Action
AGENT DCB provides mechanical expansion of a diseased vessel (primary mode of action) while transferring a pharmacological agent (i.e., paclitaxel) to inhibit neointimal proliferation of the vessel wall.
# DRUG COATING DESCRIPTION
The drug coating for the AGENT balloon catheter consists of paclitaxel (the active pharmaceutical ingredient) and acetyl tributyl citrate (the inactive ingredient).
# Drug Substance - Paclitaxel (PTx)
The active pharmaceutical ingredient in the proprietary AGENT balloon coating is paclitaxel [CAS no. 33069-62-4]. Paclitaxel as an active substance is well described in scientific literature and is used in both medicinal products (drug products) and combination products (device/drug products). The principal mechanism by which paclitaxel inhibits neointimal growth is through the stabilization of microtubules by preventing depolymerization during the final G2/M phase of cell division.
The chemical name of paclitaxel is: Benzenepropanoic acid, $\beta$ -(benzoylamino) - $\alpha$ -hydroxy -, 6, 12b - bis (acetyloxy) - 12-(benzoyloxy) - 2a,3,4,4a,5,6,9,10,11,12,12a,12b-

dodecahydro-4,11-dihydroxy-4a,8,13,13-tetramethyl-5-oxo-7,11 methano-1H-cyclodeca[3,4]benz[1,2-b]oxet-9-yl ester, [2aR-[2aa,4β,4aβ,6β,9α (αR*,βS*), 11α,12α,12aα,12bα]].
Paclitaxel is a diterpenoid with a characteristic taxane skeleton of 20 carbon atoms, a molecular weight of $853.91\mathrm{g / mol}$ and a molecular formula of $\mathrm{C_{47}H_{51}NO_{14}}$ (Figure 2). It is highly lipophilic and insoluble in water, but freely soluble in polar solvents such as methanol, ethanol, chloroform, ethyl acetate and dimethyl sulfoxide.

Figure 2: Paclitaxel Chemical Structure
# Excipient - Acetyl Tributyl Citrate
The inactive ingredient in the AGENT DCB coating is acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC), which constitutes $20\%$ of the coating formulation by weight. ATBC has no pharmacological effect and serves as an excipient in the DCB coating, designed to enhance coating integrity and facilitate drug coating transfer to the treated lesion vessel.
ATBC is a carboxylic acid ester with a molecular weight of $402.48\mathrm{g / mol}$ . It is a colorless, slightly viscous, liquid. ATBC is an excipient used for various commercially available products, including oral tablets (up to $18\mathrm{mg}$ per tablet / capsule) and in aqueous pharmaceutical coatings, controlled release systems, transdermal patches, and drug coated balloons for peripheral indications (e.g., BSC's Ranger™ device). The chemical structure of acetyl tributyl citrate is shown in Figure 3.

- The histological morphometric assessments of the treated iliofemoral arteries were generally comparable across treatment arms (1X, 3X, and Uncoated Balloon) including external elastic lamina, internal elastic lamina, lumen, medial, and neointimal areas, neointimal thickness and percent stenosis. There were no incidences of thrombotic occlusion or aneurysmal formation out to 180 days.
- Comparable histological indicators of vessel wall healing such as: injury, inflammation, and fibrosis with the test articles (1X, 3X) when compared to control tissue sections. The extent of endothelial coverage as determined by light microscopy in tissue sections were comparable between arms with endothelization nearly complete by 30 days and no abnormal findings on any endothelial surface.
- Downstream non-target tissues, including myocardium and organs, showed no clinically relevant evidence of adverse effects such as embolization-associated ischemia, thrombosis, or systemic organ toxicity.
- Acute performance data demonstrated acceptable clinical safety (including no thrombus formation) and device performance.
The preclinical pharmacokinetic studies (19-020G and 19-026N) demonstrated effective drug delivery and uptake into the arterial tissues at the therapeutic dose density (2.0 $\mu \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{mm}^2$ ) with no evidence of drug toxicity demonstrated as follows:
- Arterial paclitaxel concentrations were highest at the early time points, notably at day 1 post-procedure, and decreased to low but detectable levels through 144 days in the GLP de novo PK study. Pharmacokinetic parameters of arterial tissue demonstrated a $C_{\mathrm{max}}$ of $162.8~\mathrm{ng / mg}$ (19-020G model).
- Blood paclitaxel concentrations reached their maximum at the earliest time points, within hours post-device deployment, followed by a rapid elimination profile,

{15}
reaching levels below quantification by 3 days post-procedure in the GLP de novo PK study.
- Paclitaxel was detected at low levels in distal tissues and organs, including the distal myocardium, sub-adjacent myocardium, and lungs, out to 90 days. Detectable levels out to 14 days were also present in the spleen and liver. The presence of paclitaxel in major organs or muscles was not associated with any clinically relevant adverse clinical reactions. Systemic concentrations in non-target tissues exhibited much lower paclitaxel concentrations relative to the treated arteries at the earlier time points and further decreased to non-detectable or almost non-detectable levels over 144 days. Results indicate limited systemic and non-target tissue drug exposure to paclitaxel with treatment using AGENT DCB.
- The PK profiles of AGENT DCB in treated vessel, blood, and downstream tissues and organs were similar between the de novo and in-stent restenosis animal models. Based on this data, the de novo model was found to be sufficient to represent and predict the paclitaxel PK profiles and arterial concentrations in an in-stent restenosis model.
Pharmacokinetic data demonstrated localization of paclitaxel with limited systemic and non-target tissue exposure. Histopathology data demonstrated an acceptable drug dose and embolic load safety margin for the intended therapeutic dose of 2.0 μg/mm² and range of allowable balloon sizes.
## X. SUMMARY OF PRIMARY CLINICAL STUDY
The applicant performed a clinical study, AGENT IDE Study, to establish a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of the AGENT Paclitaxel-Coated Balloon Catheter in patients with in-stent restenosis (ISR) of a previously treated lesion of up to 26 mm in length (by visual estimate) in a native coronary artery 2.0 mm to 4.0 mm in diameter. The study was conducted in the US under IDE # G200100. Data from this clinical study were the basis for the PMA approval decision. A summary of the clinical study is presented below.
## A. STUDY DESIGN
Patients were treated between May 2021 and August 2022. The database for this PMA reflected data collected through October 18, 2023 and included 600 patients. There were 40 investigational sites, all in the United States (US).
The AGENT IDE clinical study was a prospective, multicenter, 2:1 randomized (AGENT DCB to "plain old balloon angioplasty" (POBA)), controlled, single-blind,
AGENT™ Paclitaxel-Coated Balloon Catheter
P230035: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data
Page 16 of 49
{16}
superiority trial to assess the safety and effectiveness of the AGENT DCB as compared to POBA in patients with ISR.
The AGENT IDE Study used an adaptive group-sequential design with an initial planned enrollment of 480 patients, and one formal interim analysis on the 1-year data after randomization of the first 90% of subjects, with the expectation that the first 40% of randomized patients would have 1-year follow up at that time. The interim analysis was prespecified to be performed by the Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) for potential sample size re-estimation of up to 600 patients. Due to rapid enrollment in the trial, no subjects had completed 1-year follow-up for the interim analysis at the time of the planned interim analysis; therefore, the DMC recommended to continue enrollment to the maximum of 600 patients. To determine final sample size for the primary endpoint analysis, the sponsor and FDA agreed the DMC would perform an interim analysis on the first 40% of patients (n=192) with 1-year data when those data were available using the prespecified adaptive design strategy. Based on this interim analysis, the DMC's recommendation was to evaluate the primary endpoint on the first 480 patients, which was consistent with the initial planned sample for the trial.
The primary endpoint of 1-year target lesion failure (TLF) was analyzed based on the primary endpoint cohort (N=480). The primary endpoint analysis was also performed on the total enrollment cohort (N=600). Results for both are presented within this SSED. All other data, including the additional clinical endpoints presented below, are based on the total enrollment cohort (N=600).

# 2. Follow-up Schedule
All patients were scheduled to return for follow-up examinations at hospital discharge, 30 days, 6 months, 1 year, and then annually between 2 and 5 years post-procedure. Adverse events and complications were recorded at all visits. Patients who were enrolled but who did not receive treatment were to be followed through 12 months only.
Pre-procedure, patients were assessed for quality of life (using the EQ-5D questionnaire), medical history, angina, cardiac enzymes, cardiac rhythm (using ECG), kidney function (using serum creatinine), use of antiplatelet medications, and complete blood count including platelets. Post-procedure, the objective parameters measured during the study included quality of life, angina, cardiac enzymes (pre-discharge only), cardiac rhythm, and use of antiplatelet medications. Adverse events and clinical endpoints were recorded at all visits. The schedule of pre-procedure and post-procedure evaluations is included in Table 10 below.

a: Baseline/ Screening assessments must take place ≤ 14 Days before procedure unless otherwise noted.
b: If the study Informed Consent Form is modified during the course of the trial, study subjects will be re-consented, if necessary.
c: All follow-up dates will be calculated from the date of the index procedure. The protocol-required follow-ups may be performed via telephone interview and/or an office visit within the applicable follow-up window as noted in the protocol. Beyond the 12-month follow-up, follow-up will be limited to the Safety Population (e.g., those study subjects who received a study/control device). Subjects who are enrolled but who do not receive a study / control device will be followed for 12 months only.
d: Height and weight should be documented in the eCRF if available in the subject medical record.
e: Preprocedure cardiac enzymes can be drawn from the sheath at the time of sheath insertion. If cardiac enzymes are drawn preprocedure, the two results drawn closest to the procedure time should be recorded in the eCRF.
f: Two cardiac enzyme draws must be obtained at intervals per standard of care within 24 hours after the index procedure. The first draw should be performed 6-12 hours postprocedure and the second draw should be performed 18-24 hours postprocedure. If the subject is discharged prior to 18 hours postprocedure, the second draw should be obtained at the time of discharge (it is recommended that in these cases the second draw occur no earlier than 16 hours postprocedure).
g: SAEs, SADEs, UADEs, CEC events, and device deficiencies will be monitored and reported to BSC from the time of enrollment through the 12-month follow-up for all subjects enrolled (regardless of whether a study/ control device was received) and beyond the 12-month follow-up through the 3-year follow-up for the Safety Population (e.g., those study subjects who received a study/ control device). AEs and ADEs will only be collected through the 12-month follow up.
Abbreviations: AE = Adverse event, ADE=adverse device effect; BSC=Boston Scientific Corporation; PCI=percutaneous coronary intervention; SADE=serious adverse device effect; SAE=serious adverse events; UADE=unanticipated adverse device effect
The key timepoints are shown below in the tables summarizing safety and effectiveness.
## 3. Clinical Endpoints
The primary endpoint, which included components for both safety and effectiveness, is the 1-year rate of target lesion failure (TLF) defined as a composite of:
- Any ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization (TLR).
- Myocardial infarction (MI; Q-wave and non-Q-wave) related to the target vessel.
- Cardiac death.
Myocardial infarction included both peri-procedural MI and spontaneous MI. Peri-procedural MI (within 48 hours of the index procedure) was defined per the SCAI definition Error! Bookmark not defined. and spontaneous MI (more than 48 hours after the index procedure) per 4th Universal definition Error! Bookmark not defined.
As agreed upon with FDA prior to unblinding, in order to account for potential heterogeneity in outcomes related to the use of multiple enzymes and ULNs, a unified ULN for cTn-I (ULN = 0.045 ng/ml) and a unified ULN for cTn-T (ULN = 0.022 ng/ml) were used to identify potential PPMI events.
With regards to safety, additional endpoints were measured, including all cause death, cardiac death, MI, and stent thrombosis per Academic Research Consortium (ARC) definitions.
With regards to effectiveness, additional endpoints included clinical procedural success rate, technical success rate, target lesion revascularization (TLR), target vessel revascularization (TVR), and change in quality of life.

With regard to success/failure criteria, the study was considered a success if the AGENT DCB was shown to be superior to the POBA control for the primary endpoint of TLF at one year.
A z-test with unpooled variance for the difference of two proportions was to be used to test the hypothesis of superiority of the AGENT DCB over POBA in the 12-month clinical endpoint:
$\mathrm{H_0}$ : $\mathrm{TLF_{DCB}}\geq \mathrm{TLF_{POBA}}$
$\mathrm{H}_{1}$ : $\mathrm{TLF_{DCB}} < \mathrm{TLF_{POBA}}$
where $\mathrm{TLF_{DCB}}$ and $\mathrm{TLF_{POBA}}$ are the TLF rates through 12 months for the DCB and POBA arms, respectively.
The primary analysis set for the primary endpoint was the intent to treat (ITT) analysis set.
# B. ACCOUNTABILITY OF FULL COHORT
At the time of database lock, of 600 patients enrolled in the PMA study, $95.8\%$ (389/406) of AGENT DCB and $95.9\%$ (186/194) of POBA subjects were eligible for analysis at the completion of the primary endpoint, the 12 month post-procedure visit (Table 11).

# C. STUDY POPULATION DEMOGRAPHICS AND BASELINE PARAMETERS
The demographics of the study population are typical for an interventional cardiovascular study performed in the US. Table 12 presents demographics for the ITT analysis set. AGENT and POBA treatment arms were well-balanced with no significant differences in any demographic parameters. Combining both treatment arms, patient mean age was 68.3 years, $26.2\%$ of patients were female, and $75.3\%$ of patients were white.
Given lower enrollment of racial and ethnic minorities and female patients as compared to the general coronary artery disease population in the US, a post approval surveillance study will be initiated for an all-comers patient population with specific focus and analyses for these underrepresented groups. See Section XIV below for details on the post-approval surveillance study.

Table 13 and 14 show the baseline clinical characteristics and cardiac history of the patient population. Approximately $50\%$ of patients had diabetes, $50\%$ had a history of MI, and $37\%$ presented with unstable angina or recent MI. In general, baseline clinical characteristics were comparable between the Agent DCB and POBA control groups.

Table 15 presents baseline lesion characteristics as determined by core laboratory quantitative coronary angiography (QCA). Most characteristics were similar between arms, including the presence of multiple-layer in-stent restenosis (AGENT 43.3% versus POBA 42.3%), mean reference vessel diameter (2.7 ± 0.5 mm in both arms), and lesion length (AGENT 12.8 ± 6.3 mm vs. POBA 11.8 ± 6.6 mm). Some differences are noted for various lesion characteristics, including certain ISR patterns and ulceration, but the sample sizes are low and these differences were not likely to influence the outcome of the study.

Table 16 presents procedural characteristics. AGENT and POBA treatment groups were well-balanced with no significant differences in procedural characteristics. Mean procedure time was 55.2 minutes, $87.2\%$ of patients had only the target lesion treated and $12.8\%$ had both target plus one non-target lesion treated. Only one study device was allowed for the AGENT DCB arm, hence the slight difference in number of study devices used (3.6% of subjects in the POBA arm had 2 study devices used). Similarly, one target lesion was allowable in the study, though one patient had 2 target lesions treated, which was considered a protocol deviation. The use of cutting balloons was similar in lesions treated with AGENT DCB as compared to lesions treated

## D. SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS RESULTS
The primary analysis of safety and effectiveness was based on the ITT cohort of the initial 480 patients available for the 12-month evaluation of target lesion failure.
The study primary endpoint was met. AGENT DCB was superior to POBA as the one-sided upper 97.5% confidence bound for the difference in 1-year TLF was less than zero in the ITT population. Specifically, 18.2% subjects treated with AGENT and 29.3% of the POBA treated subjects in the ITT population experienced TLF by 1 year. Per-protocol analysis was also performed, and the result was identical. Table 18 shows the primary endpoint of 1-year TLF for the primary endpoint analysis cohort (N=480).

## Primary Endpoint Analysis: Full Cohort (N=600): 12-Month TLF
The primary endpoint analysis was also performed on the total enrollment cohort (N=600) after that data became available. As shown in Table 19, the rate of 1-year TLF was 18.2% in patients treated with AGENT and 29.0% of patients treated with POBA in the ITT population. These data demonstrate very similar outcomes to the initial 480-patient analysis presented above. Per-protocol analysis was also performed, and the result was again identical.

Safety endpoints adjudicated by the CEC included death (all-cause and cardiac death), MI, and ISR stent thrombosis. Rates of death were comparable across treatment groups. Rates of MI at 12 months numerically favored the AGENT DCB over POBA (7.4% AGENT vs 12.2% POBA). None of the subjects in the AGENT arm experienced definite/probable ISR stent thrombosis compared to 6 subjects in the POBA arm (0.0% versus 3.2%). Table 20 below presents a summary of the safety-related endpoints adjudicated by the CEC at all currently available timepoints.

*Rates presented include definite, probable, and possible stent thrombosis events
There were a total of 623 serious adverse events reported in 226 patients in the AGENT DCB group, compared to a total of 306 serious adverse events reported in 113 patients in the POBA control group through 12 months of follow up. The frequency and nature of adverse events observed in the AGENT DCB group were similar to those observed for the POBA control group.

When evaluating all adverse events, including non-serious adverse events, a numerical increase was observed for Acute Kidney Injury in the DCB arm as compared to POBA (6.7% vs 3.1%). However, most observations were non-serious, the event rates in both arms were low compared to known rates of acute kidney injury after PCI procedures, and the observed difference was likely due to chance.
Serious adverse events that occurred in the AGENT IDE Study with an event rate $>1\%$ are presented in Table 21. A serious adverse event either resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or caused prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or required intervention to prevent permanent impairment of damage. Adverse events were reported by sites and coded using MedDRA preferred terms. Only categories of adverse events occurring at a rate of $>1\%$ in either treatment group are reported. Thus, the listed events may not add up to the total amount in each group or overall.
