COMPARE randomized controlled trial results
COMPARE is the World’s First Head-to-Head Prospective, RCT (1:1) directly comparing SFA DCBs – low dose Ranger DCB vs higher dose IN.PACT DCB.1
Ranger DCB demonstrated similar primary patency as IN.PACT at 2-Years¹ with half the total drug dose².

*Log-rank p-value compares the entire K-M curves from time zero to full 2-Year follow-up window.

Primary safety endpoint: composite of freedom from device and procedure-related death through 30 days and freedom from major target limb amputation and CD-TLR through 1-Year post index-procedure.
Primary efficacy endpoint: primary patency at 1-Year defined as absence of clinically driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR) or binary restenosis determined as a peak systolic velocity ratio > 2.4 evaluated by duplex ultrasound core laboratory analysis.
CD-TLR: a reintervention performed for ≥ 50% diameter stenosis (confirmed by angiography) within ± 5 mm proximal and/or distal to the target lesion after documentation of recurrent clinical symptoms of PAD (increase of 1 Rutherford class or more) and/or drop of ABI (≥20% or >0.15 when compared to maximum early post-procedural level).
