2.1. Device Component Description
The OTW balloon catheter consists of a proximal hub, dual-lumen shaft, and a distal dilatation balloon. The central lumen
extends to the distal tip and is used to pass the catheter over a guidewire with a diameter of 0.035 in (0.89 mm). The ballooninflation lumen is used to inflate and deflate the balloon with a mixture of contrast medium and saline solution. Two radiopaque
platinum-iridium markers indicate the working length of the balloon to position the balloon across the target lesion during
fluoroscopy. See IN.PACT Admiral Paclitaxel-coated PTA Balloon Catheter (Figure 1).
Note: The 2 center marker bands shown in the diagram of the balloon are only available in the 200 and 250 mm balloon
configurations.
The FreePac™ drug coating on the balloon of the IN.PACT Admiral DCB consists of the drug paclitaxel and the excipient urea.
The balloon surface has a nominal paclitaxel dose density of 3.5 μg/mm2.
2.2.1. Paclitaxel
The active pharmaceutical ingredient in the IN.PACT Admiral DCB is paclitaxel. The principal mechanism by which paclitaxel
inhibits neointimal growth is through the stabilization of microtubules by preventing their depolymerization during the final G2/M
phase of cell division.
The CAS Registry number of paclitaxel is 33069-62-4. The chemical name of paclitaxel is:
Benzenepropanoic acid, ß-(benzoylamino)-α-hydroxy-,6,12b-bis(acetyloxy)-12-(benzoyloxy) -2a,3,4,4a,5,6,9,10,11,12,12a,12b-
See Chemical Structure of Paclitaxel (Figure 2) below.
Figure 2. Chemical Structure of Paclitaxel
Paclitaxel is a diterpenoid with a characteristic taxane skeleton of 20 carbon atoms, a molecular weight of 853.91 g/mol, and a
molecular formula of C47H51NO14. It is a white powder, has extremely low water solubility, is highly lipophilic, and is freely soluble
in methanol, ethanol, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and dimethyl sulfoxide.
2.2.2. Urea
The coating utilizes the inactive ingredient urea as an excipient to facilitate the release and transfer of paclitaxel into the arterial
wall. See Chemical Structure of Urea (Figure 3) below.
The IN.PACT Admiral paclitaxel-coated PTA balloon catheter is indicated for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, after
appropriate vessel preparation, of de novo, restenotic, or in-stent restenotic lesions with lengths up to 360 mm in superficial
femoral or popliteal arteries with reference vessel diameters of 4-7 mm.
4. Contraindications
The IN.PACT Admiral DCB is contraindicated for use in:
■
coronary arteries, renal arteries, and supra-aortic/cerebrovascular arteries
■
patients who cannot receive recommended antiplatelet and/or anticoagulant therapy
■
patients judged to have a lesion that prevents complete inflation of an angioplasty balloon or proper placement of the
delivery system
■
patients with known allergies or sensitivities to paclitaxel
■
women who are breastfeeding, pregnant, or are intending to become pregnant, or men intending to father children. It is
unknown whether paclitaxel will be excreted in human milk and whether there is a potential for adverse reaction in nursing
infants from paclitaxel exposure.
5. Warnings
■
A signal for increased risk of late mortality has been identified following the use of paclitaxel-coated balloons and
paclitaxel-eluting stents for femoropopliteal arterial disease beginning approximately 2-3 years post-treatment
compared with the use of non-drug coated devices. There is uncertainty regarding the magnitude and mechanism
for the increased late mortality risk, including the impact of repeat paclitaxel-coated device exposure. Physicians
should discuss this late mortality signal and the benefits and risks of available treatment options with their
patients. See Section 11 for further information.
■
Use the product prior to the Use-by Date specified on the package.
■
Contents are supplied sterile. Do not use the product if the inner packaging is damaged or opened.

6 Instructions for Use English
6.3. Use of Multiple Balloons
The extent of the patient’s exposure to the drug coating is directly related to the number of balloons used. Refer to Using
Multiple IN.PACT Admiral DCBs (Section 13.9) and Product Matrix and Paclitaxel Content (Table 2) for details regarding the
use of multiple balloons and a product matrix containing the nominal paclitaxel content for each device size, respectively.
6.4. Use in Conjunction with Other Procedures
The safety and effectiveness of the IN.PACT Admiral DCB used in conjunction with other drug-eluting stents or drug-coated
balloons in the same procedure or following treatment failure has not been evaluated.
6.5. Drug Interaction
Formal drug interaction studies have not been conducted with the IN.PACT Admiral DCB. In the clinical pharmacokinetic (PK)
sub-study, systemic levels of paclitaxel following treatment with IN.PACT Admiral DCB(s) were low and cleared rapidly,
reducing possible impact of drug-drug interactions due to concomitant medications. Consideration for both systemic and local
drug interactions should be given when deciding to use IN.PACT Admiral DCB(s) in a patient who is taking a drug with known
interactions to paclitaxel or when deciding to initiate therapy with such a drug in a patient who has recently been treated with
IN.PACT Admiral DCB(s). Please refer to Drug Information (Section 8).
6.6. Balloon Handling and Preparation Precautions
■
Do not remove the device from the pouch until it is needed for immediate use.
■
Handle the device with caution to avoid any damage to the balloon coating or folded balloon.
■
Keep the protective sheath in place when purging the balloon catheter of air bubbles.
■
Carefully remove and discard the balloon’s protective sheath. If present, remove and discard the stylet.
■
Do not use the protective sheath or stylet (if present) as an introduction aid or a rewrapping tool.
■
Do not apply positive pressure to the balloon during preparation.
6.7. Balloon Placement Precautions
■
Manipulate the catheter under fluoroscopic observation when it is exposed to the vascular system. Do not advance or
retract the catheter unless the balloon is fully deflated under vacuum.
■
Do not move the guidewire during inflation of the balloon.
■
Do not manipulate the IN.PACT Admiral DCB while inflated.
■
Catheter applications vary. Select the technique on the basis of the patient’s condition and the experience of the
interventionalist.
■
Introducer sheaths used must have lumen sizes that are suitable to accommodate the IN.PACT Admiral DCB. See Product
Component Description (Table 1) for the introducer sheath compatibility and crossing profile of each device size.
■
If resistance occurs during manipulation, ascertain the cause via fluoroscopy, road mapping, or digital subtraction
angiography (DSA) before moving the IN.PACT Admiral DCB backward or forward.
■
Do not manipulate the IN.PACT Admiral DCB without sufficient fluoroscopy.
■
Use a pressure-monitoring device to prevent overpressurization. Refer to Product Component Description (Table 1).
■
To ensure full coverage of the entire lesion, the balloon diameter must match the reference vessel diameter distal to the
lesion and the balloon length must exceed the lesion length by approximately 1 cm on both ends. When using multiple
balloons, do so only as described in Using Multiple IN.PACT Admiral DCBs (Section 13.9).
■
Never advance the IN.PACT Admiral DCB without the guidewire extending from the tip.
■
Maintaining balloon inflation is strongly recommended for 180 seconds. Adequate drug transfer occurs in the first
60 seconds of inflation.
■
Appropriate vessel preparation is required prior to use of the IN.PACT Admiral DCB.
Note: Vessel preparation using only pre-dilatation was studied in the clinical study. Other methods of vessel preparation, such
as atherectomy, have not been studied clinically with IN.PACT Admiral DCB.
6.8. Balloon Catheter Removal Precautions
■
Prior to withdrawing the balloon catheter from the lesion, completely deflate the balloon under vacuum.
■
Center the IN.PACT Admiral DCB relative to the introducer sheath when withdrawing, and use caution when removing the
IN.PACT Admiral DCB.
■
Should unusual resistance be felt at any time when withdrawing the balloon catheter back into the introducer sheath,
remove the balloon catheter and the introducer sheath as a single unit to reduce the risk of vascular damage. This must be
done under direct visualization with fluoroscopy.
■
If removal of the IN.PACT Admiral DCB is required prior to deployment and a repeat attempt is desired, use a new IN.PACT
Admiral DCB.

6.9. Post-procedure Precautions
■
Administer post-procedure antiplatelet therapy as described in Pre-procedure and Post-procedure Medication Regimen
(Section 6.2).
7. Use in Special Populations
7.1. Pregnancy and Lactation
The IN.PACT Admiral DCB is contraindicated in women who are pregnant or breast-feeding. It is unknown whether paclitaxel
will be excreted in human milk or whether there is a potential for adverse reaction from paclitaxel exposure in nursing infants.
Pregnancy Category C: See Carcinogenicity, Genotoxicity, and Reproductive Toxicity (Section 8.4).
7.2. Gender
Gender was a predefined subgroup that was analyzed in the pivotal clinical study. The outcomes are shown in Primary Safety
Composite and Primary Effectiveness by Gender (Table 9). The results of an interaction analysis indicate that the treatment
differences between IN.PACT Admiral DCB and PTA groups are consistent between male and female subjects.
7.3. Ethnicity
Clinical studies of the IN.PACT Admiral DCB did not include a sufficient number of patients to assess for differences in safety or
effectiveness due to ethnicity, regardless of assessment by individual ethnicity categories or assessment by Caucasian or nonCaucasian categories.
7.4. Pediatric Use
The safety and effectiveness of the IN.PACT Admiral DCB in pediatric patients has not been established.
7.5. Geriatric Use
The pivotal clinical study for the IN.PACT Admiral DCB had an upper age limit of 85 years, and had a predefined study
subgroup of subjects 75 years or older (85 subjects). Within this subgroup, the IN.PACT Admiral DCB group showed
improvement on the primary safety and effectiveness endpoints.
8. Drug Information
8.1. Mechanism of Action
The mechanism(s) by which the IN.PACT Admiral DCB affects neointimal production has not been fully established. The
principal mechanism by which paclitaxel inhibits neointimal growth is through the stabilization of microtubules by preventing
their depolymerization during the final G2/M phase of cell division. Consequently, the microtubule network may not maintain the
dynamic rearrangement required for a normal mitotic process.
8.2. Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetic profile of paclitaxel following treatment with the IN.PACT Admiral DCB was evaluated in 25 patients
receiving 2,850 μg to 16,900 μg of paclitaxel. This evaluation was conducted as a sub-study of the randomized clinical trial and
is described in Summary of Clinical Studies (Section 11). Paclitaxel systemic exposure in the treated subjects was low and
cleared rapidly with a bi-phasic decline. The C
11.4 to 128.8 hr*ng/mL. These data indicate that treatment with the IN.PACT Admiral DCB provides low systemic exposure of
paclitaxel.
8.3. Metabolism
Metabolic transformation of paclitaxel occurs predominantly in the liver through cytochromes P450 2C8 (CYP2C8) and 3A4
(CYP3A4). Agents which could compete with or inhibit the activity of the CYP2C8 and CYP3A4 isoenzymes may increase
paclitaxel plasma levels. For more information on potential drug interactions, see Drug Interaction (Section 6.5).
8.4. Carcinogenicity, Genotoxicity, and Reproductive Toxicity
No long-term studies in animals have been published in peer-reviewed literature to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of
paclitaxel. Paclitaxel was not mutagenic in the Ames test or the CHO/HGPRT gene mutation assay. However, the mechanism
by which paclitaxel interferes with cellular proliferation may give rise to loss of chromosomes during cell division as a result of
microtubule stabilization during cell division. Paclitaxel is an established aneugenic drug in vitro on human normal cells and will
also produce a positive response in the mouse bone marrow micronucleus assay. It has not been established that paclitaxel
exerts any direct action on DNA to induce strand fragmentation.
Reproductive toxicity has been previously evaluated in vivo in both rabbits and rats. When administered during rabbit fetal
organogenesis, paclitaxel doses of 3.0 mg/kg/day caused embryo- and fetotoxicity; maternal toxicity was also observed. No
teratogenic effects were observed at 1.0 mg/kg/day; effects at higher doses could not be assessed due to fetal mortality. In rats,
fertility impairment was observed at doses ≥ 1 mg/kg/day. For comparison, the average dose of paclitaxel in the IN.PACT SFA
PK Sub-study was 7454 μg, with an average subject weight of 91 kg, for a theoretical normalized dose of 0.082 mg/kg
(assuming all the paclitaxel from the coating enters the systemic circulation).

11. Summary of Clinical Studies
11.1. Late Mortality Signal for Paclitaxel-Coated Devices
A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials published in December 2018 by Katsanos et. al. identified an increased risk of
late mortality at 2 years and beyond for paclitaxel-coated balloons and paclitaxel-eluting stents used to treat femoropopliteal
arterial disease. In response to these data, FDA performed a patient-level meta-analysis of long-term follow-up data from the
pivotal premarket randomized trials of paclitaxel-coated devices used to treat femoropopliteal disease using available clinical
data through May 2019. The meta-analysis also showed a late mortality signal in study subjects treated with paclitaxel-coated
devices compared to patients treated with uncoated devices. Specifically, in the 3 randomized trials with a total of 1090 patients
and available 5-year data, the crude mortality rate was 19.8% (range 15.9% - 23.4%) in patients treated with paclitaxel-coated
devices compared to 12.7% (range 11.2% - 14.0%) in subjects treated with uncoated devices. The relative risk for increased
mortality at 5 years was 1.57 (95% confidence interval 1.16 - 2.13), which corresponds to a 57% relative increase in mortality in
patients treated with paclitaxel-coated devices. As presented at the June 2019 FDA Advisory Committee Meeting, an
independent meta-analysis of similar patient-level data provided by VIVA Physicians, a vascular medicine organization,
reported similar findings with a hazard ratio of 1.38 (95% confidence interval 1.06 - 1.80). Additional analyses have been
conducted and are underway that are specifically designed to assess the relationship of mortality to paclitaxel-coated devices.
The presence and magnitude of the late mortality risk should be interpreted with caution because of multiple limitations in the
available data, including wide confidence intervals due to a small sample size, pooling of studies of different paclitaxel-coated
devices that were not intended to be combined, substantial amounts of missing study data, no clear evidence of a paclitaxel
dose effect on mortality, and no identified pathophysiologic mechanism for the late deaths.
Paclitaxel-coated balloons and stents improve blood flow to the legs and decrease the likelihood of repeat procedures to
reopen blocked blood vessels compared to uncoated devices. The benefits of paclitaxel-coated devices (e.g., reduced
reinterventions) should be considered in individual patients along with potential risks (e.g., late mortality).
In the IN.PACT SFA IDE Trial, based on the analysis completed for the June 2019 FDA Advisory Committee Meeting using AsTreated cohort and vital status update, the Kaplan Meier cumulative mortality estimates at 2, 3 and 5 years are 7.3% [3.8%,
10.8%], 10.5% [6.4%, 14.6%], 15.7% [10.8%, 20.6%], respectively, for the IN.PACT Admiral DCB treatment device and 0.9%
[0%, 2.7%], 2.8% [0%, 5.9%], 11.2% [5.3%, 17.1%], respectively, for the PTA control device. Additional information regarding
long-term outcomes can be found in Section 11.
11.2. IN.PACT SFA Trial
11.2.1. Primary Objective
The objective of the IN.PACT SFA Trial was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the IN.PACT Admiral DCB as compared
with PTA when used to treat atherosclerotic lesions of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) and/or proximal popliteal artery
(PPA).
11.2.2. Study Design
The IN.PACT SFA Trial was designed as a two-phase, multicenter, single-blind, randomized trial. Subjects in the IN.PACT SFA I
phase were enrolled in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland under ISO 14155:2003, Declaration of Helsinki, and
ICH GCP. The second phase, IN.PACT SFA II, was conducted in the United States under an investigational device exemption
(IDE). Subjects were randomized 2:1 to treatment with the IN.PACT Admiral DCB as compared to PTA. Provisional stenting
was used in cases of PTA failure. Follow-up was completed at 30 days, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 36 months,
48 months, and 60 months post-index procedure.
The data from the IN.PACT SFA Trial, with greater than 50% subjects coming from the U.S. population (150 subjects Europe
and 181 subjects U.S.), have been pooled and comprise the pivotal trial data. This aggregate data provides statistical power for
the 12-month primary safety and effectiveness endpoints.
The primary endpoints for the IN.PACT SFA Trial are listed below.

As the four primary endpoint tests passed (and in a superiority manner), each at a critical level of 0.024995, several pre-defined
secondary endpoints were compared on all ITT non-stented subjects between treatment groups sequentially. These secondary
endpoints were analyzed in the following order: (1) CD-TLR at 12 months, (2) primary sustained clinical improvement at
12 months, (3) walking distance at 12 months as assessed by the 6-minute walk test, and (4) duplex-defined binary restenosis
(PSVR >2.4) at 24 months or at the time of reintervention. This sequential approach keeps the family-wise error rate at the
0.024995 level across the set of four secondary endpoints.
The statistical analysis plan included planned primary analysis of all non-stented patients, as well as a secondary analysis of
the intent to treat (ITT) population. The demographics and results provided are for the ITT population, which demonstrated
similar results as the all non-stented patient population.

11.2.4. Primary Safety and Effectiveness Endpoints
The primary safety endpoint of the study, a composite of freedom from device- and procedure-related death through 30 days,
freedom from target limb major amputation within 12 months and freedom from clinically-driven target vessel revascularization
within 12 months, was 95.7% in the IN.PACT Admiral DCB group and 76.6% in the PTA group (p<0.001). The IN.PACT Admiral
DCB group met the predefined 10% non-inferiority margin and showed superiority in safety against the PTA group using a
sequential analysis approach. The primary effectiveness endpoint, primary patency at 12 months, was 82.2% in the IN.PACT
Admiral DCB group and 52.4% for the PTA group (p<0.001). The IN.PACT Admiral DCB group showed statistical superiority
against the PTA group.

11.2.5. Principal Safety and Effectiveness Results
A summary of the principal safety and effectiveness results through 12 months, including major secondary endpoints, have
been shown below in Principal Safety and Effectiveness Results (Table 8). Secondary safety endpoints were more favorable in
the IN.PACT Admiral DCB group. The 12-month major adverse event rate was 6.3% in the IN.PACT Admiral DCB group versus
24.3% in the PTA group (p<0.001). This statistical significance was primarily driven by a dramatic reduction in clinically-driven
target vessel revascularization (CD-TVR) rate. The IN.PACT Admiral DCB group also showed highly statistically significant
results of secondary effectiveness, such as clinically-driven TLR (CD-TLR) and primary sustained clinical improvement both of
which passed hierarchical testing.

Major Adverse Events (MAE) defined as all-cause death, clinically-driven TVR, major target limb amputation, thrombosis at the
target lesion site.
Clinically-driven TLR/TVR is defined as any re-intervention within the target vessel due to symptoms or drop of ABI/TBI of ≥
20% or >0.15 when compared to post-procedure baseline ABI/TBI.
Numbers are % (counts/sample size) unless otherwise stated.
11.3.6. Functional Endpoints
A summary of functional outcomes through 24 months and 36 months are presented in Table 13. These functional tests are
only assessed through the 36-month follow-up.
Primary sustained clinical improvement is defined as freedom from target limb amputation, TVR, and an increase in Rutherford
classification. Outcomes for this endpoint at 24 months in the IN.PACT Admiral DCB subjects were 76.9% (133/173) versus
59.2% (61/103) in the PTA group. Secondary sustained clinical improvement is defined as freedom from target limb amputation
and an increase in Rutherford classification. Outcomes for this endpoint at 24 months in the IN.PACT Admiral DCB subjects
were 86.9% (146/168) versus 86.2% (81/94) in the PTA group.
The QoL assessment uses the EQ-5D Index four-digit scoring algorithm to calculate an overall score, that was generated by
the five individual dimensions (mobility, self-care, activity, pain, and anxiety), where 0.109 represents the worst possible
outcome and 1.000 represents the best possible outcome. At 24 months, the mean change from baseline in the IN.PACT
Admiral DCB subjects was 0.0957 ± 0.2159 versus 0.0545 ± 0.2286 in the PTA group. The WIQ scoring (%) is expressed on a
scale of 0% to 100%, with 0% meaning the patient was unable to perform the assessment due to claudication, and 100%
meaning no impairment. The mean walking impairment score in the IN.PACT Admiral DCB group was 72.5% ± 34.1% versus
67.2% ± 33.6% in the PTA group.
At 36 months, primary sustained clinical improvement in the IN.PACT Admiral DCB subjects was 68.7% (114/166) versus
52.6% (51/97) in the PTA group and secondary sustained clinical improvement in the IN.PACT Admiral DCB subjects was
85.3% (133/156) versus 87.8% (79/90) in the PTA group.
At 36 months, the QoL mean change from baseline in the IN.PACT Admiral DCB subjects was 0.0832 ± 0.2293 versus
0.0662 ± 0.1977 in the PTA group. In the WIQ (%), the mean in the IN.PACT Admiral DCB group was 71.8% ± 34.2% versus
74.7% ± 29.2% in the PTA group.

11.3.7. Summary of Adverse Events
Serious Adverse Event Rates by SOC and Preferred Term through 1-year and through 5-year snapshot (Table 14) shows
serious adverse event rates by subject and stratified by system-organ class (SOC) and preferred term. Serious adverse events
were site-reported, and SOC was assigned via MedDRA version 13.0 coding.
A serious adverse event (SAE) was defined as an adverse event that led to a death or to a serious deterioration in the health of
the subject. A serious deterioration in the health of the subject is defined as one or more of the following:
■
a life-threatening illness or injury
■
a permanent impairment of a body structure or a body function
■
in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of an existing hospitalization
■
a medical or surgical intervention to prevent life-threatening illness or injury or permanent impairment to a body structure or
body function
■
fetal distress, fetal death, or a congenital abnormality or birth defect.
Table 14. Serious Adverse Event Rates by SOC and Preferred Term through 1-year and through 5-year snapshot
Event verbatim terms are reported by sites. The events listed in this table are then coded using MedDRA version 13.0 and then stratified by System-Organ Class (SOC) and Preferred Term. Patients may be
counted in this table more than once by Preferred Term, but are only counted once in the SOC summary line.
11.4. Pharmacokinetic Sub-study
Human pharmacokinetics was investigated as a sub-study of the IN.PACT SFA Trial. This sub-study was a prospective, multicenter, non-randomized study arm (IN.PACT Admiral DCB) conducted at multiple prespecified investigational sites, designed to
evaluate the levels of paclitaxel in the systemic circulation of subjects at multiple time points. Pharmacokinetic parameters were
determined for a total of 24 subjects (16 male and 8 female). A summary of the pharmacokinetic parameters is presented in
Summary of Pharmacokinetic Parameters (Table 15). The pharmacokinetic sub-study demonstrated low systemic exposure
with rapid clearance of paclitaxel.

11.5. IN.PACT Global Study
11.5.1. Study Overview
The IN.PACT Global Study is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm study designed to collect and assess global safety and
effectiveness data on the IN.PACT Admiral DCB in treatment of atherosclerotic disease of the superficial femoral and/or
popliteal arteries in a “real-world” population. The study is estimated to continue follow-up through 2019. The study will enroll
approximately 1500 subjects at more than 60 sites in Europe, Australia, Asia, Northern Africa, Canada, the Middle East, and
South America. Follow-up will be completed at 30 days, 6 months, and 12 months and 2, 3, 4, and 5 years. The interim data
from the IN.PACT Global Study that were available at the time were provided to FDA for consideration as part of the PMA
submission.
11.6. Summary of Rare Adverse Events
Medtronic has provided an evaluation of rare adverse events (RAE) in more than 800 subjects from the IN.PACT SFA Trial, the
IN.PACT SFA PK Sub-study, and the IN.PACT Global Study.
The following RAEs were adjudicated by the independent Clinical Events Committees (CEC): paclitaxel-related vessel
thrombosis within 30 days, paclitaxel-related distal embolic events within 360 days, paclitaxel-related neutropenia within
360 days, and paclitaxel-related drug hypersensitivity/reaction within 360 days. The rate of paclitaxel-related thrombosis within
30 days was 0.2% (2/890). There were no paclitaxel-related distal embolic events within 360 days (0/806), paclitaxel-related
neutropenia within 360 days (0/806), or paclitaxel-related drug hypersensitivity/reaction within 360 days (0/806).
The current RAE outcomes demonstrate no increased risk of adverse events due to the paclitaxel coating.
11.7. IN.PACT Admiral DCB ISR Clinical Evaluation
11.7.1. Primary Objective
The objective of this clinical evaluation was to assess the safety and effectiveness of the IN.PACT Admiral DCB as compared
with PTA when used to treat in-stent restenotic (ISR) lesions of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) or popliteal artery.
11.7.2. Design
This clinical evaluation was designed as an observational, propensity score-adjusted, comparative analysis of IN.PACT Admiral
DCB subjects selected from the real-world IN.PACT Global Study (“DCB ISR Cohort”) and PTA subjects provided from the
Society of Vascular Surgery (SVS) Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) Registry database (“PTA ISR Comparator”).
A total of 164 DCB subjects from the IN.PACT Global Study comprised the DCB ISR Cohort, and a total of 153 PTA subjects
from the SVS VQI Registry comprised the PTA ISR Comparator. Patients in the DCB ISR Cohort were treated at 31 sites in
Austria, Belgium, Canada, Egypt, Germany, Hungary, Italy, The Netherlands, Poland, Singapore, Slovakia, South Korea, and
Switzerland between June 6, 2012 and December 16, 2013, and patients in the PTA ISR Comparator were treated at 23 sites
in the United States between 2011 and 2014.
The objective of this analysis was to demonstrate that the primary endpoint of 12-month target lesion revascularization (TLR)
was significantly lower in the DCB ISR Cohort when compared to the PTA ISR Comparator group for the treatment of ISR.
For the primary effectiveness endpoint of 12-month TLR, the treatment (DCB ISR Cohort) and control (PTA ISR Comparator)
groups were compared in a superiority format. Formally, the hypothesis tested was:
38 Instructions for Use English
H0: 12-month TLR rate in subjects in DCB ISR Cohort (pT) is equal to or higher than that for subjects in PTA ISR Comparator
(pC).
H0: pT ≥ p
C
HA: 12-month TLR rate in subjects in DCB ISR Cohort (pT) is lower than that for subjects in PTA ISR Comparator (pC).
HA: pT < p
C
Due to the nature of this non-randomized retrospective comparison, it was necessary to adjust for expected baseline
differences between the subjects in the two groups to ensure objectivity of the clinical evaluation design and the validity of the
results. As pre-specified in the statistical analysis plan, propensity score analysis was performed using clinically relevant
baseline characteristics. The propensity score calculation was carried out by an independent statistician without access to the
outcomes of either group. The calculation results were submitted to the FDA for review and approval prior to performing the
primary endpoint analyses.
The primary endpoint of the powered statistical analysis comparing ISR outcomes in the DCB ISR Cohort and the PTA ISR
Comparator was the incidence of TLR through 12 months.
The clinically relevant secondary endpoints assessed included:
1. All-cause mortality at 30 days, 6 months, and 12 months.
2. Any TVR at 30 days, 6 months, and 12 months.
3. Major target limb amputation at 30 days, 6 months, and 12 months.
4. Time to first TLR through 12 months post-index procedure.
5. Time to all-cause mortality through 12 months post-index procedure.
With regard to success criteria, the study was deemed successful if it demonstrated superiority of the DCB ISR Cohort on the
12-month primary endpoint of target lesion revascularization compared to the PTA ISR Comparator.
11.7.3. Patient Population
Table 16 below presents the baseline demographics and clinical characteristics for the 164 DCB ISR Cohort subjects and the
153 PTA ISR Comparator subjects. These 20 baseline variables were pre-specified as the covariates in the propensity score
analysis, and all of the variables were included in the propensity score calculation except for the TASC lesion type due to a
missing data rate in the DCB ISR Cohort that exceeded the pre-specified cutoff of 20%.

To analyze the treatment differences between the DCB ISR Cohort and PTA ISR Comparator groups in the clinical/safety endpoints such as TLR, a propensity-quintile-stratified Cox proportional hazards model was employed, with
time to event as the dependent variable and treatment group as the independent variable.
The Kaplan-Meier analysis of this primary effectiveness endpoint, presented as freedom from target lesion revascularization, is
shown in Figure 11.

Secondary Safety and Effectiveness Endpoints
The results of the secondary endpoints for the IN.PACT Admiral DCB ISR Clinical Evaluation are shown in Table 19.
In both the DCB ISR Cohort and the PTA ISR Comparator, there were high rates of acute success. Since the acute success
definitions differed, these were not able to be directly compared, but the DCB ISR Cohort had high rates of device success
(99.5%), procedural success (99.4%), and clinical success (98.8%), while the PTA ISR Comparator had a high rate of technical
success (97.4%). The definitions of each of these endpoints are provided in the footnotes of Table 19.
Clinical safety and effectiveness outcomes were reported at 30 days, 6 months, and 12 months. All event rates were low in
both groups at 30 days, but lower event rates were observed at 6 months and at 12 months for both the TLR and the target
vessel revascularization (TVR) endpoints in the DCB ISR Cohort. The 12-month TVR rate was 11.41% in the DCB ISR Cohort
compared to 38.07% in the PTA ISR Comparator.
There were no major target limb amputations in the DCB ISR Cohort and three major target limb amputations in the PTA ISR
Comparator within 12 months. Lastly, there was one death in the DCB ISR Cohort and no deaths in the PTA ISR Comparator
within 12 months. One subject in the DCB ISR Cohort experienced a non-cardiac death at day 276 post-index procedure. The
independent clinical events committee determined that the event was not device-related and not procedure-related.

Summary of Adverse Events
A serious adverse event was defined in the IN.PACT Global Study protocol as an adverse event that led to death; led to serious
deterioration in the health of the subject that resulted in a life-threatening illness or injury, a permanent impairment of a body
structure or a body function, in-patient or prolonged hospitalization, or medical or surgical intervention to prevent lifethreatening illness or injury or permanent impairment to a body structure of a body function; or led to fetal distress, fetal death
or a congenital abnormality or birth defect.

11.8.9. Assigned Imaging Cohorts Analyses
The IN.PACT Global DCB Long Lesion Sub-Cohort was composed of subjects meeting the inclusion criteria specific to this
analysis from the three imaging cohorts (Long Lesion, CTO, and ISR) in the IN.PACT Global study. As such, a breakdown of
the subject outcomes for each of the imaging cohorts was conducted and the results of that analysis are presented in Table 29
below. Slight variability was seen in for the primary effectiveness outcome as the Long Lesion, CTO and ISR imaging groups
reported patency at 12 months of 66.2% (47/71), 68.8% (33/48), and 56.3% (18/32) respectively. The primary safety composite

endpoint amongst the three imaging cohorts was 94.2% (98/104) for Long Lesion, 92.2% (59/64) for CTO, and 90.5% (38/42)
for ISR. The cumulative MAE rate at 360 days was 10.6% (11/104), 10.9% (7/64), 9.5% (4/42) for the Long Lesion, CTO and
ISR imaging cohorts respectively. It is noted that the reintervention rates (TVR or TLR) were highest in the ISR group compared
to Long Lesions or CTO. Conversely, the ISR group had no reported cases of death or thrombosis compared to the Long
Lesion (2.9% and 4.8% respectively) and the CTO (3.1% and 3.1% respectively) imaging cohorts. Overall, binary restenosis in
the imaging cohorts was 33.8% (24/71) for Long Lesion, 28.3% (13/46) for CTO, and 43.8% (14/32) for ISR.

A serious adverse event was defined in the IN.PACT Global Study protocol as an adverse event that led to death; led to serious
deterioration in the health of the subject that resulted in a life-threatening illness or injury, a permanent impairment of a body
structure or a body function, in-patient or prolonged hospitalization, or medical or surgical intervention to prevent lifethreatening illness or injury or permanent impairment to a body structure of a body function; or led to fetal distress, fetal death
or a congenital abnormality or birth defect.
As shown in Table 30, there were a total of 246 serious adverse events reported in the IN.PACT Global DCB Long Lesion SubCohort within 360 days. In total, 52.0% of subjects experienced one or more serious adverse events.

a
Thrombosis is defined as an occlusion due to thrombus formation which is rapidly evolving as confirmed by sudden onset of
symptoms and documented by DUS and/or angiography at the index vessel within 14 days of symptom onset. Occlusions
occurring within 30 days of the index procedure are assumed to be thrombotic, irrespective of symptoms, providing the sheath
or guiding catheter has been removed and the patient has left the catheterization laboratory or angiography suite, and that
they are documented by imaging with DUS and/or angiography of the index vessel. Thrombosis may be categorized as acute
(occurring <1 day post- index), sub-acute (1-30 days) and late (>30 days). For rare adverse events reporting, CEC adjudication will occur through 30-days. Vessel thrombosis reported >30 days will be reported as MAE and CEC adjudicated through
60-months.
b
Distal Embolic Events are defined as embolism with concomitant suggestive clinical signs and symptoms, located separate
from and distal to the target lesion. Classified by probability:
■
Definite Angiographic evidence of distal embolization with a new intraluminal filling defect and/or abrupt occlusion of a runoff vessel distal to a lesion that is clearly not attributable to wire trauma or dissection, irrespective of the time from the
index procedure.
■
Probable: Suggestive clinical signs and symptoms of distal embolization occurring <= 30 days after the index procedure, in
the absence of Angiographic evidence.
■
Possible: Suggestive clinical signs and symptoms of distal embolization occurring >30 days after the index procedure in
the absence of Angiographic evidence.
c
Neutropenia is defined as ANC <1500/mm
■
If no ANC is available, the white blood cell count will be used.
■
If any WBC count is <3,000 cells/mm^super 3 and is a decrease of >50% of the baseline, the event will be adjudicated as
3
neutropenia.
■
If no baseline WBC count is available and site-reported concurrent fever and infection, then any WBC count
<3,000 cells/mm^super 3 will be adjudicated as neutropenia.
d
Drug Hypersensitivity/Reactions is defined as events reported with signs and symptoms which include, but are not limited to
the following: GI upset, Hair loss, Rash, Urticaria (Hives), Erythyroderma, Itchy skin, Pruritus, Vasculitis, Edema, Anaphylaxis /
shock, Asthma / Asthmatic Attack / Bronchospasm, Dyspnea, Chest tightness, Tachycardia, and Eosinophilia. All events were
adjudicated by the independent Clinical Events Committee.
11.8.12. Long Term data (24 month)
The results of the secondary endpoints of the IN.PACT Global DCB Long Lesion Sub-Cohort Clinical Evaluation through
24 months are shown in Table 32 below. The primary sustained clinical improvement was 71.0% (125/176) at 24-months postprocedure. Freedom from CD-TLR by Kaplan Meier estimate was 80.3% through 24-months and can be found below
in Figure 13.
The MAE composite for the long lesion sub-cohort at 720-days was 24.7% (49/198). Reported MAEs within 720-days included
4.5% death (9/198), 5.1% thrombosis (10/198) and one subject had a major target limb amputation (0.5%, 1/198).
Reintervention rates were reported as 20.2% (40/198) clinically-driven TVR and 20.2% (40/198) clinically-driven TLR. The
average time to first clinically-driven TLR was 377.4 days.

13.2. Balloon Catheter Size Selection
■
The nominal balloon diameter must match the diameter of the vessel distal to the lesion. The balloon length must exceed
the lesion length by about 1 cm on the proximal and distal ends.
■
If the lesion is longer than the longest available IN.PACT Admiral DCB, use multiple IN.PACT Admiral DCBs to treat the
lesion, using the recommended overlap, as described in Using Multiple IN.PACT Admiral DCBs (Section 13.9),
Recommended Overlap When Using Multiple IN.PACT Admiral DCBs (Figure 16), and Treatment of a Tandem Lesion with
Multiple IN.PACT Admiral DCBs (Figure 18).
13.3. Recommendations for Optimal Treatment
■
Appropriate vessel preparation is required prior to the use of the IN.PACT Admiral DCB.
Note: Vessel preparation using only pre-dilatation was studied in the clinical study. Other methods of vessel preparation,
such as atherectomy, have not been studied clinically with IN.PACT Admiral DCB.
■
When using a PTA balloon for vessel preparation, use a PTA balloon with a diameter 1 mm smaller than the reference
vessel diameter to facilitate the passage of the appropriately sized IN.PACT Admiral DCB.
Note: Following vessel preparation, if the lesion cannot be crossed with the first inserted IN.PACT Admiral DCB, the second
attempt must be made with a new IN.PACT Admiral DCB in order to ensure effective drug delivery.
■
When using a device other than a PTA balloon for vessel preparation, use the device per its Instructions for Use.
■
As noted in Delivery and Dilatation Procedure (Section 13.7), for optimal mechanical dilatation of the vessel, an inflation
time of 180 seconds is strongly recommended for the IN.PACT Admiral DCB. Adequate drug transfer occurs in the first
60 seconds of inflation.
■
Post-dilatation should be completed according to the physician’s discretion. If adequate PTA results are not obtained after
the IN.PACT Admiral DCB(s) balloon inflation, post-dilatation using a non–drug-coated PTA balloon of shorter length than
the previously used IN.PACT Admiral DCB is recommended.
Note: In the randomized trial, provisional stenting with bare-metal stents was completed in cases where adequate results
could not be obtained after using post-dilatation balloons, such as in the case of remaining residual stenosis [≥ 50%] or
major [≥ Grade D] flow-limiting dissection after post-dilatation.
■
It is important to provide drug delivery to the entire length of the treated artery prior to post-dilatation or provisional stenting.
64 Instructions for Use English
13.4. PTA Preparation
1. Prepare the inflation device, introducer sheath, and guidewire according to the manufacturer's instructions. See Minimum
Introducer Sheath Compatibility (Table 33) for help selecting the appropriately sized introducer sheath.
6.0 mm (120 mm length)6.3 Fr (2.10 mm) or 7.0 Fr (2.33 mm)
Consult device label
7.0 mm7.0 Fr (2.33 mm)7 Fr
Note: Use of a long introducer sheath extending beyond the iliac bifurcation is recommended if a contralateral approach is
used.
2. Administer the appropriate medication to the patient prior to treatment as described in Pre-procedure and Post-procedure
Medication Regimen (Section 6.2).
3. Prepare the vascular access site according to standard practice.
4. Insert a guidewire through the hemostatic valve following the manufacturer's instructions or standard practice. Advance the
guidewire carefully into the introducer sheath.
5. Attach a torque device to the wire, if desired. Under fluoroscopy, advance the guidewire to the desired vessel, then across
the stenosis. Remove the torque device once the guidewire is positioned.
Note: If treating an in-stent restenosis, ensure the guidewire has traversed the lesion intraluminally.
13.5. IN.PACT Admiral DCB Preparation
1. The catheter is packaged in a protective blister. Verify that the catheter and sterile packaging have not been damaged in
shipment. After all preparation has been completed, carefully remove the catheter from the package. Do not remove the
IN.PACT Admiral DCB from the packaging until it is ready for insertion.
Note: Avoid exposing the balloon drug coating to excessive handling or contact with liquids prior to preparation and
delivery as the coating may be susceptible to damage or premature drug release.
2. The folded balloon catheter may contain air that should be purged prior to use. Connect a stopcock to the balloon port of
the catheter hub. Connect a luer-lock syringe partially filled with saline solution to the stopcock. Open the stopcock.
Keeping the syringe in a downward vertical position, draw back the plunger of the syringe and create a vacuum for
30 seconds in the balloon inflation line until air is completely evacuated.
Caution: If the air bubbles cannot be completely evacuated, there may be a leak in the catheter. Discard the device and
select a new IN.PACT Admiral DCB.
Note: It is important to maintain the vacuum seal in order to keep the balloon profile tight before insertion into the
introducer sheath.
Note: Keep the protective sheath in place during the purging procedure.
3. After air is completely evacuated, close the stopcock and remove the syringe.
4. Remove the stylet (if present) and the protective sheath from the balloon and discard. Do not use the protective sheath as
an introduction aid or rewrapping tool.
5. Connect the filled syringe to the guidewire port. Flush the guidewire lumen through the guidewire port with heparinized
normal saline until the fluid exits the distal tip.
Note: Drops of saline must emerge from the device tip.
Note: To minimize the introduction of air, aspirate and flush the system and keep a tight catheter connection throughout the
procedure.
Consult device label

6 Fr or 7 Fr
13.6. Inflation Device Connection to the IN.PACT Admiral DCB
1. Fill the inflation device with 15 mL of saline-contrast mixture. Do not use air or any gaseous medium to inflate the balloon.
Use only the recommended inflation medium (equal parts contrast medium and saline solution). Do not apply positive
pressure to the balloon during preparation.
2. Evacuate all air present in the inflation device.
Note: The inflation device should have no air bubbles present, either in the tube or in the cylinder; to remove any air
lodged, keeping the tip upward, purge approximately 1cc of saline-contrast mixture.
Instructions for Use English 65
3. With the stopcock connected to the balloon port in the closed position, securely couple the inflation device to the stopcock.
Verify that no air is evident in both the stopcock and the inflation device's connection.
13.7. Delivery and Dilatation Procedure
1. Load the distal tip of the balloon catheter over the prepositioned guidewire, which has been placed through the lesion.
2. Advance the catheter under direct fluoroscopic visualization. To avoid kinking, advance the catheter through the hemostatic
valve slowly and in small increments while the stopcock is closed. Open the hemostatic valve to allow for easy passage of
the balloon and to prevent damage to the balloon coating. Once the balloon has passed through, the hemostatic valve
should be closed as much as is needed to prevent blood return while still permitting easy movements of the catheter.
Note: If significant resistance is encountered, do not advance the catheter through the introducer sheath.
3. Under fluoroscopy, use the balloon radiopaque markers to position the balloon within the lesion to be dilated. If the inflation
device has not already been connected, connect the inflation device according to instructions in Inflation Device
Connection to the IN.PACT Admiral DCB (Section 13.6).
4. Open the stopcock and inflate the balloon to the appropriate pressure as described in the Compliance Chart included in the
device packaging, then close the stopcock to maintain pressure. For optimal mechanical dilatation of the vessel, balloon
inflation time of 180 seconds is strongly recommended. Adequate drug transfer occurs in the first 60 seconds of inflation. If
the IN.PACT Admiral DCB was inflated for at least 60 seconds but the vessel requires additional dilatation due to
suboptimal PTA results, a plain PTA balloon of the operator's choice can be used (PTA balloon should be of shorter length
compared to the IN.PACT Admiral DCB).
Warning: Do not exceed rated burst pressure as indicated on the device label. Use of pressures higher than those
specified on the device label may result in a ruptured balloon with possible intimal damage and dissection.
Note: The IN.PACT Admiral DCB is intended for single inflation only.
13.8. Removal Procedure
1. Open the stopcock and deflate the balloon by applying negative pressure to the inflation device. For all balloon lengths
except for 200 and 250 mm, allow approximately 60 seconds for full balloon deflation. For the 200 and 250 mm balloon
lengths, allow approximately 120 seconds for full balloon deflation. Larger balloons may require more time for deflation.
Deflation of the balloon should be confirmed by absence of contrast medium within the balloon.
Note: The balloon must be completely deflated before removal.
2. Upon confirmation of full deflation, disconnect the inflation device, then open the hemostatic valve and withdraw the
deflated balloon catheter from the introducer sheath, through the hemostatic valve. Tighten the knurled knob on the
hemostatic valve.
3. If necessary, the balloon catheter can be exchanged for different balloon types or sizes using the guidewire/ introducer that
remains in the vessel.
Note: If further dilatation is required, post-dilatation should be performed with a non–drug-coated PTA balloon of shorter
length than the IN.PACT Admiral DCB.
4. When complete, withdraw the guidewire/introducer, and close the hemostatic valve.
Note: After use, this device may be a biohazard. Handle and dispose of all such devices in accordance with accepted
medical practice and applicable hospital, administrative, and government regulations.
13.9. Using Multiple IN.PACT Admiral DCBs
Warning: The safety and effectiveness of using multiple IN.PACT Admiral DCBs with a total drug dosage exceeding 34,854 μg
paclitaxel in a patient has not been clinically evaluated.
Additional IN.PACT Admiral DCBs should be used to treat a lesion only under either of the following circumstances:
■
The first IN.PACT Admiral DCB bursts prior to 60 seconds of inflation time.
■
The lesion length requires more than 1 IN.PACT Admiral DCB to fully cover the lesion and extend about 1 cm at both the
proximal and distal edges.
If multiple IN.PACT Admiral DCBs are required due to a lesion length greater than the longest available DCB, the balloons must
overlap by at least 1 cm. The size of additional DCBs should not be longer than required to allow for this overlap and complete
the lesion coverage with about 1 cm extended beyond the lesion both proximally and distally. Proper size selection is important
to avoid excessive overlap. Refer to Figure 15 through Figure 18 for further guidance.
Note: In order to reduce procedure-related complications, use only the minimum number of devices needed to cover the
lesion(s).
