The drug-coated balloon, also known as a drug-eluting balloon, is an alternative therapy to the market-dominating drug-coated stents. SurVeil, currently in clinical trials, would be the first PAD-targeted drug-coated balloon in Abbott\u2019s portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>SurVeil\u2019s developer, medical device company Surmodics Inc. (NASDAQ: SRDX), has been conducting a pivotal clinical trial that tests the new device against the In.PACT Admiral drug-coated balloon, the current U.S. market-leading product manufactured by Minnesota-based Medtronic, one of the major rivals of Abbott in vascular care.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>SurVeil needs to yield strong clinical profile in order to help Abbott wrestle with Medtronic, RBC Capital Markets analyst Glenn Novarro said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing so late to the game, the clinical data [of SurVeil] would have to be very competitive,\u201d Novarro said, citing the at-least-three-year process of getting approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.<\/p>\n<p>The prospect of drug-coated balloon technology in the field of peripheral interventions means that Abbott also has to race with other major biotech players.<\/p>\n<p>Massachusetts-based Boston Scientific Corp. (NYSE: BSX) announced in early February its intention to roll out its Ranger paclitaxel-coated balloon to the U.S. market in 2020. The company claimed in its first-quarter earnings report that Ranger has demonstrated in a recent trial similar performance to Medtronic\u2019s In.PACT Admiral in reducing vessel blockage.<\/p>\n<p>International capital also has added fuel to the competition. Netherlands-based Koninklijke Philips N.V. (NYSE: PHG) closed a $2.2 billion deal in August to buy Spectranetics Corp. (NASDAQ: SPNC), shortly after the Colorado-based vascular intervention device manufacturer announced receipt of FDA pre-market approval of its Stellarex drug-coated balloon.<\/p>\n<p>The Dutch company\u2019s primary objective of the acquisition was to get control of Spectranetics\u2019 drug-coated balloon, Lake Street Capital Markets analyst Brooks O&#8217;Neil said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPhilips paid $2.2 billion for a drug-eluting balloon that hasn\u2019t been tested against the market-leading product,\u201d O&#8217;Neil said. \u201cThe implication of Surmodics testing their product against Medtronic\u2019s product is, pretty clear we believe, Surmodics\u2019 product is superior.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Abbott said in a press release that SurVeil\u2019s &#8220;Pre-clinical data showed a three- to five-times higher target tissue drug concentration, a more evenly distributed and durable drug effect, and lower incidence of downstream drug particles compared to the control drug-coated balloon.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Abbott agreed to an initial payment to Surmodics of $25 million and additions of as much as $67 million for product development milestones, the company said in a press release.<\/p>\n<p>Abbott also received options to negotiate pacts for Surmodics&#8217; pipeline products, including below-the-knee and arteriovenous fistula drug-coated balloon devices that are in pre-clinical development, Abbott said.<\/p>\n<p>Shares of Surmodics jumped 9.74 percent to $29.85 on Tuesday, up $2.65.<\/p>\n<div class=\"featurecaption\">Photo at top: The logo of Abbott Laboratories, Illinois-based broad range healthcare corporation.
