SINOMED, a leading international medical device company, today announced results from the HT Supreme(TM) Healing-Targeted Drug-Eluting Stent (DES), in complex patients compared to the Xience or Promus family of DES. One-year results were presented at last week's 2021 EuroPCR annual congress showing that the two devices have similar clinical safety and effectiveness. The PIONEER III study enrolled 1,629 patients (randomized 2:1 experimental to control) from North America, Europe and Japan, where the complex patient subgroup showed similar rates of target lesion failure (TLF) at one-year. Patients were considered complex based on AHA/ACC B2/C-criteria. HT Supreme had a TLF of 5.8% compared to 5.9% in the control arm, with no statistical difference. Additionally, long lesions, severe calcification and severe tortuosity showed no difference between the two arms. "The one-year target lesion failure rates of the HT Supreme are very low and compared favourably to current best-in-class devices," said Prof. Andreas Baumbach from Queen Mary University of London, United Kingdom, and European co-primary investigator of the PIONEER III trial. "It is important for clinicians to understand how new devices perform in more complex lesion; as this is a reflection of the patients we treat day-to-day." "As we progress our clinical program and continue to see the same, safe and consistent data from trial to trial, we are convinced that our healing-targeted stent is the right approach," said Dr. Jianhua Sun, PhD., chairman and chief executive officer of SINOMED. "Ensuing that all patient types have another safe option is a true benefit." More information on the PIONEER III study is available at www.clinicaltrials.gov, identifier: NCT03168776. About the HT Supreme Drug-Eluting Stent: The HT Supreme represents a novel class of stents that highlights the importance of early, timely healing. Through patented designs and proprietary processes, the HT Supreme is tailored to help patients accelerate their wound-healing process and restore their naturally protective vessel function. This healing-targeted mechanism may help overcome the long-standing problem of tradition-DES implantation, allowing for safer long-term results.
