Japan-USA Harmonized Assessment by Randomized, Multi-Center Study of OrbusNEich's Combo StEnt (Japan-USA HARMONEE): Assessment of a Novel DES Platform For Percutaneous Coronary Revascularization in Patients With Ischemic Coronary Disease and NSTEMI Acute Coronary Syndrome

This is a multi-center, single-blind, randomized, active-controlled, clinical trial in
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) subjects. Subjects will be randomized to receive the
Combo stent as the investigational treatment arm or an Everolimus Eluting Stent (EES) as the
active-control arm.

Up to 50 sites are proposed in Japan and the United States to enroll 286 subjects (271
evaluable) in each of 2 arms, for a total sample size of 572 subjects (542 evaluable) who are
admitted to the hospital for a planned (elective and urgent) percutaneous coronary artery
intervention procedure.

After stent implantation, subjects will be contacted for follow-up at 30 days; 6 months; and
1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years. At 12 months a clinical evaluation will be completed before cardiac
catheterization and angiographic assessment.

Rationale: This study is intended to demonstrate that the Combo stent platform shows
superiority to an imputed Bare Metal Stent (BMS) performance goal, noninferior effectiveness
and safety vs best-in-class second-generation everolimus-eluting stent (EES) (Xience V,
Xience Prime, Xience Xpedition stents; [Abbott Vascular/Abbott Vascular Japan]), and evidence
of mechanistic activity of the anti-CD34-Ab endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) capture
technology with healthy level of intimal tissue coverage superior to that of the
best-in-class EES.

To ensure the robustness and interpretability of results, the current proposal includes a
number of unique design features:

- Largest randomized Drug-Eluting Stent (DES) study ever performed in Japan

- Enriched population, including stabilized Non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction
(NSTEMI) subjects with greater likelihood of plaque rupture associated with their
clinical syndromes

- Collaboration between with Japan and the United States as a "Proof of Concept" program
under the auspices of the Harmonization by Doing Initiative, Working Group 1 (WG 1),
including concomitant enrollment in U.S.A. sites as an FDA-approved Investigational
Device Exemption (IDE) study

- Head-to-head randomization against state-of-the-art EES platform control, analyzed for
clinical noninferiority

- Statistical analysis vs imputed BMS analyzed for clinical superiority

- Fractional flow reserve (FFR) follow-up of 100% of subjects enrolled, providing
clinically relevant physiologic assessment of all subjects for 1 year ischemia-driven
Target Vessel Revascularization (TVR) analysis

- Mechanistic Optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging observations in 140 subjects
using 6 French catheters as follows:

- Cohort A (30 subjects, 1:1 Combo and EES): Mechanistic imaging observations to
provide serial 6 month and 1 year OCT evaluation of healthy intimal tissue
coverage, intracoronary thrombosis, and stent malapposition and quantitative
coronary angiographic (QCA) analysis to assess 1 year late loss.

- Cohort B (110 subjects, 1:1 Combo and EES): Mechanistic imaging observations to
assess 1 year OCT evaluation of healthy intimal tissue coverage, intracoronary
thrombosis, and stent malapposition, and QCA analysis to assess 1 year late loss.
Combined with the 12 month imaging of Cohort A, this study will provide OCT and QCA
observations at 1 year in 140 patients, half with Combo and half with EES.

- Cohort C: 432 subjects (216 subjects per arm) will undergo all clinical follow-up
assessments with FFR and angiographic assessments at 12 months. Cohort C will be
the last cohort to enroll.

- In the 110 subjects in Cohort B, 30 day and 1 year human antimurine antibody (HAMA)
titers will also be collected.

treated, with a maximum of 2 de novo target lesions per epicardial vessel, with a
maximum of 2 target vessels.

8. Target lesions should be treatable with a single stent, and must measure 28 mm or less
in length by visual estimation (2 mm or more of nondiseased tissue on either side of
the target lesion should be covered by the study stent).

9. If more than 1 target lesion will be treated, the reference vessel diameter and lesion
length of each target lesion must meet the above criteria.
