The SWING trial is a first-in-human feasibility study of the Company’s Sundance™ SCB.

Key Points: 
  • The SWING trial is a first-in-human feasibility study of the Company’s Sundance™ SCB.
  • At ISET, SWING co-lead investigator Professor Ramon Varcoe, MBBS, MS, FRACS, PHD, MMed (ClinEpi), reinforced key findings from the SWING trial.
  • Rather than using encapsulation, the Sundance™ SCB delivers drug to target tissue via a coating of stable crystalline sirolimus with a proprietary excipient on the balloon surface, a method the Company describes as Crystalline Drug Release, or CDR.
  • When inflated, the Sundance™ SCB transfers this crystalline drug form to the vessel wall, whereupon the crystalized drug itself serves as the drug depot in a process that eliminates the need for a polymer depot.
