The IN.PACT 018 paclitaxel-coated PTA balloon catheter is an over-the-wire (OTW) balloon catheter with a drug-coated balloon
at the distal tip. The drug component, referred to as the FreePac™ drug coating, consists of the drug paclitaxel and the
excipient urea. The device component physically dilates the vessel lumen by PTA, and the drug is intended to reduce the
proliferative response that is associated with restenosis. Product Component Description (Table 1) summarizes the
characteristics of the device, hereafter referred to as IN.PACT 018 DCB.
The catheter is compatible with a guidewire diameter of 0.018 in (0.46 mm).

2.1. Device Component Description
The OTW balloon catheter consists of a proximal hub, a coaxial 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 0.018 in (0.46 mm). The
balloon-inflation 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 018 Paclitaxel-coated PTA Balloon Catheter (Figure 1).
The FreePac™ drug coating on the balloon of the IN.PACT 018 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 018 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 018 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 018 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.

■
The use of this product carries the risks associated with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, including thrombosis,
vascular complications, and/or bleeding events.
6.2. Pre-procedure and Post-procedure Medication Regimen
It is recommended that dual antiplatelet therapy (aspirin with clopidogrel; use ticlopidine as an alternate to clopidogrel in case of
allergy) is administered before the procedure and for a minimum of one month after the intervention, and that aspirin is
continued for a minimum of six months after the procedure. Prolonged antiplatelet therapy can be given at the discretion of the
physician. See Recommended Pre-procedure and Post-procedure Medication Regimen (Table 3).
Table 3. Recommended Pre-procedure and Post-procedure Medication Regimen
For cases of provisional stenting, refer to the published patient management guidelines for dosing instruction.
b
ASA loading dose not required for subjects already on a chronic regimen, defined as at least 81 mg daily for at least 5 consecutive days pre-procedure, with the last dose given/taken within 24 hours prior to
procedure.
c
The safety and efficacy of this dose has not been prospectively studied. Please refer to current package inserts.
d
Subjects on a prasugrel or ticagrelor regimen for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) may continue that regimen as antiplatelet therapy. Please refer to the current package insert for information about risks and
benefits of these medications, as well as for information on concomitant use of ASA and other medications.
e
Clopidogrel loading dose not required for subjects who have been taking 75 mg/day for at least 3 consecutive days before the intervention, with the last dose being taken within 24 hours prior to procedure.
f
Recommended in subjects with allergies to clopidogrel.
g
It is recommended that a bolus of 3000 to 5000 units of heparin be given prior to the angioplasty procedure, and that anticoagulation is given as needed to maintain an activated clotting time (ACT) of
≥250 seconds, or ≥200 seconds where GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors are concomitantly administered.
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 018 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 018 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 Instructions for Use English
6.5. Drug Interaction
Formal drug interaction studies have not been conducted with the IN.PACT 018 DCB. In the clinical pharmacokinetic (PK) substudy, systemic levels of paclitaxel following treatment with DCB(s) were low and cleared rapidly, reducing possible impact of
drug-drug interactions due to concomitant medications (see Section 11.4). Consideration for both systemic and local drug
interactions should be given when deciding to use IN.PACT 018 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
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 peel-away balloon protector in place when purging the balloon catheter of air bubbles.
■
Do not use the peel-away balloon protector 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 018 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 018 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 018 DCB backward or forward.
■
Do not manipulate the IN.PACT 018 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 018 DCBs (Section 13.9).
■
Never advance the IN.PACT 018 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 018 DCB.
Note: Vessel preparation using only pre-dilatation was studied in the clinical study (see Section 11). Other methods of vessel
preparation, such as atherectomy, have not been studied clinically with IN.PACT 018 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 018 DCB relative to the introducer sheath when withdrawing, and use caution when removing the
IN.PACT 018 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 018 DCB is required prior to deployment and a repeat attempt is desired, use a new IN.PACT
018 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
IN.PACT 018 DCB has not been evaluated for use in special populations. The safety and effectiveness of drug-coated balloon
treatment using paclitaxel has been established based on clinical studies discussed in Section 11.
Instructions for Use English 7
7.1. Pregnancy and Lactation
The IN.PACT 018 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 (Section 11.2.7, Table 9). The results of an interaction analysis indicate that
the treatment differences between DCB and PTA groups in the pivotal clinical study are consistent between male and female
subjects.
7.3. Ethnicity
Clinical studies (refer to Section 11) 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 018 DCB in pediatric patients has not been established.
7.5. Geriatric Use
The pivotal clinical study (refer to Section 11.2) 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 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 018 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 paclitaxel 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 018 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).
ranged from 1.0 to 35.9 ng/mL and the AUC
max
ranged from
0-∞
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 (Section 11.4) 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
The safety and effectiveness of the IN.PACT Admiral DCB (.035 in guidewire compatible), as established in the clinical studies
described below that were performed primarily via femoral access, can be considered supportive for the IN.PACT 018 DCB.
The IN.PACT 018 DCB has not been evaluated in a clinical study.
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.

There were 218 males and 113 females enrolled in the pivotal study. Based on gender subgroup analyses, both female and
male subgroups showed improvement on the primary safety and effectiveness endpoints through 12 months. 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.
