Article Abstract
Background: The use of drug-coated balloons is a well-established strategy for the management of coronary vessels. However, head-to-head comparisons of sirolimus-coated balloons (SCBs) and paclitaxel-coated balloons (PCBs) for treating in-stent restenosis (ISR) are currently limited.
Objectives: The aim of this randomized, controlled trial (SIBLINT-ISR [Sirolimus-Coated Balloon Versus Paclitaxel-Coated Balloon for the Treatment of Coronary In-Stent Restenosis]) was to compare a novel SCB with a PCB for the treatment of ISR.
Methods: In this prospective, assessor-blinded, controlled trial, patients with eligible ISR lesions were randomized 1:1 to treatment with either an SCB (SeQuent SCB, B. Braun Melsungen; 4 μg/mm) or a PCB (SeQuent Please NEO, B. Braun Melsungen; 3 μg/mm). The primary endpoint was noninferiority for 9-month angiographic in-segment late lumen loss (LLL). The main secondary endpoints were procedural success, target lesion restenosis rate, and target lesion failure (cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, or revascularization) at 12 months.
Results: A total of 258 patients with 285 lesions at 16 sites were randomly assigned to the SCB (n = 130) and PCB (n = 128) groups. At 9 months, the difference in the primary endpoint of in-segment LLL between the SCB group (0.37 ± 0.48 mm) and the PCB group (0.30 ± 0.38 mm) was 0.07 mm (95% CI: -0.05 to 0.19 mm), demonstrating noninferiority of the SCB to the PCB in terms of in-segment LLL, with a noninferiority margin of 0.20 mm (P for noninferiority < 0.0001). There were no significant differences in 12-month clinical outcomes between the SCB and PCB groups.
Conclusions: In this study, a novel SCB was found to be noninferior to a PCB in terms of in-segment LLL at 9 months in treating patients with ISR. (Sirolimus-Coated Balloon Versus Paclitaxel-Coated Balloon for the Treatment of Coronary In-Stent Restenosis [SIBLINT ISR]; NCT04240444).

Effects of a Dialogic Book-sharing Intervention for Female Caregivers in Rural Tanzania (EDBiT): Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Children in low- and middle-income countries face obstacles to optimal language and cognitive development due to a variety of factors related to adverse socioeconomic conditions. One of these factors is compromised caregiver-child interactions and associated pressures on parenting. Early development interventions, such as dialogic book-sharing (DBS), address this variable, with evidence from both high-income countries and urban areas of low- and middle-income countries showing that such interventions enhance caregiver-child interaction and the associated benefits for child cognitive and socioemotional development.

Background: Various media are used to enhance public understanding about diseases. While mobile health apps are widely used, there is little proof for using such apps to raise awareness of skin diseases.
Objective: We intend to develop an app, called DEDIKASI-app, to raise awareness of skin diseases, including leprosy.
Elinzanetant for the Treatment of Vasomotor Symptoms Associated With Menopause: A Phase 3 Randomized Clinical Trial.
JAMA Intern Med
September 2025
Bayer CC AG, Basel, Switzerland.
Importance: There is an unmet need for long-term, safe, effective, and hormone-free treatments for menopausal symptoms, including vasomotor symptoms (VMS) and sleep disturbances.
Objective: To evaluate the 52-week efficacy and safety of elinzanetant, a dual neurokinin-targeted therapy, for treating moderate to severe VMS associated with menopause.
Design, Setting, And Participants: OASIS-3 was a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized phase 3 clinical trial that was conducted at 83 sites in North America and Europe from August 27, 2021, to February 12, 2024, and included postmenopausal women aged 40 to 65 years who were seeking treatment for moderate to severe VMS (no requirement for a minimum number of VMS events per week).

Importance: Pregnant individuals with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) present with a higher risk of pregnancy complications, including gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and preterm birth. Myo-inositol supplementation may reduce these risks.
Objective: To determine whether daily supplementation with myo-inositol during pregnancy among individuals with PCOS reduces the risk of a composite outcome of gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and preterm birth.

Importance: The cost-effectiveness of adding early in-bed cycling to usual physiotherapy among adults receiving mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU) compared with usual physiotherapy alone is unknown.
Objective: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of in-bed cycling plus usual physiotherapy compared with usual therapy alone in the Critical Care Cycling to Improve Lower Extremity Strength (CYCLE) randomized clinical trial.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This trial-based economic evaluation with a 90-day time horizon compared early cycling plus usual physiotherapy vs usual physiotherapy alone from a societal perspective.
