Conventional drug-eluting stents achieve good safety and performance outcomes, but the stents permanently cage the vessel, leading to a non-plateauing rate of clinical events. The DynamX Bioadaptor is designed to reduce these long-term events through unique design features that permit restoring vessel function and physiology through the disengagement of uncaging elements after the resorption of a biodegradable polymer over six months. Promising initial results have been obtained in the DynamX mechanistic study, with excellent safety and effectiveness, positive arterial remodeling, improved vasomotion, compliance, and cyclic pulsatility. We now aim to confirm these findings randomizing the DynamX Bioadaptor against the Resolute Onyx stent. This multi-center, international, randomized single-blinded study is conducted in 34 sites across Europe, Japan, and New Zealand and is divided into the European/New Zealand cohort and the Japanese cohort (which includes an imaging subset). It is designed to randomly assign 444 patients (222 per region) in a 1:1 ratio to either the DynamX Bioadaptor or the Resolute Onyx stent. Furthermore, a pharmacokinetic substudy is conducted in 9 patients enrolled in Japan to assess the pharmacokinetics of sirolimus after implantation of the DynamX Bioadaptor. Study follow-up is scheduled at one, six, and 12 months, and annually thereafter for five years; imaging follow-up includes angiographic, intravascular ultrasound, and optical coherence tomography assessments at 12 months in a subset of patients. The primary endpoint is 12-month target lesion failure. This trial will provide valuable insights into the safety and efficacy of this novel bioadaptor when compared to a contemporary drug-eluting stent. The DynamX Sirolimus-Eluting Bioadaptor has unique design features aiming to reduce long-term events after percutaneous coronary intervention by permitting the restoration of vessel function through the freeing of uncaging elements. Promising initial results have been obtained in the DynamX mechanistic study. This trial aims to confirm these findings in a randomized setting. The European/ New Zealand and Japanese cohorts were designed to randomly assign 444 subjects in a 1:1 ratio to either the DynamX Bioadaptor or the Resolute Onyx stent. Furthermore, a pharmacokinetic substudy is conducted in 9 patients enrolled in Japan to assess the pharmacokinetics of sirolimus. • The DynamX Bioadaptor is a novel device with a unique uncaging mechanism. • The uncaging mechanism permits vessel motion in the treated segment. • This shall ultimately lead to a reduction of long-term adverse events. • This is the first trial to compare the bioadaptor against a drug-eluting stent (DES). • This will be the first trial to also thoroughly assesses vessel motion in DES.
