The Chocolate Touch study is a randomized, multi-center, prospective, adaptive study, designed to show sufficient safety and effectiveness of the Chocolate Touch™ for use in superficial femoral or popliteal arteries with the intention of obtaining regulatory approval to market this device in the United States
The primary objective of the Chocolate Touch study is to demonstrate non-inferior safety and non-inferior effectiveness of the Chocolate Touch™ compared to the Lutonix® drug coated balloon catheter. These data are intended to show safety and effectiveness of the Chocolate Touch sufficient to support regulatory approval to market this device in the United States for use in superficial femoral or popliteal arteries. Study success is defined as statistical demonstration of the non-inferiority hypothesis tests for both the primary safety and effectiveness hypothesis. PMA P210039 approval has been granted on 11/04/2022. The study is now in the post-approval phase.

The Chocolate Touch™ Paclitaxel Coated Balloon Catheter is indicated for balloon dilatation, after appropriate vessel preparation as needed, of lesions in native superficial femoral or popliteal arteries up to 18 cm in length that are appropriate for angioplasty with balloon diameters from 3.5 mm to 6.0mm.
The Lutonix® 035 Drug Coated Balloon Catheter is indicated for improving luminal diameter for the treatment of obstructive de novo or non-stented restenotic lesions (≤ 18 cm in length) in native femoropopliteal arteries having reference vessel diameters of 4 mm to 6 mm.

True Drug Coated Balloon Success
A composite endpoint that requires patients to achieve Primary Patency (Peak systolic velocity ratio \<2.4 without the need for clinically driven target lesion revascularization) in the absence of a clinically driven bail-out stent (core lab adjudicated).
Time frame: 12 months
Freedom from Major Adverse Events
Composite of target-limb-related death, major amputation of the target limb, and clinically driven re-intervention of the target limb.
Time frame: 12 months
By Angiographic Core Lab Review (Acute)
Procedural Success: Defined as the success of the therapy to achieve \<30% diameter stenosis without a flow-limiting dissection or the need for a stent
Time frame: 1 hour
By Duplex Ultrasound Core Lab Review
Patency
Time frame: 6, 12, 24, & 36 months
By Clinical Assessment
Occurrence of relevant Adverse Events
Time frame: 6, 12, 24, & 36 months
