Orchestra BioMed (Nasdaq:OBIO) announced the first patient enrollments in a study of its Virtue Sirolimus AngioInfusion Balloon (SAB).
The FDA investigational device exemption (IDE) trial compares the Virtue SAB to the Boston Scientific Agent paclitaxel-coated balloon, currently the only FDA-approved drug-coated balloon (DCB) for coronary indication.
Orchestra BioMed won FDA IDE in April and continues to advance its atrioventricular interval modulation (AVIM) therapy.
