Mercator Moves To New Studies Following DANCE Success
Executive Summary
Results of DANCE, the first large-scale trial of Mercator’s Bullfrog micro-infusion catheter device, showed local dexamethasone-delivery with Bullfrog yields patient outcomes that compare favorably to that of drug-coated balloons in patients with peripheral artery disease. The company is pursuing more trials of Bullfrog in peripheral artery disease patients even though the device already has a CE mark and 510(k) clearance.
