Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Refractory Angina

• Registration Number: NCT05102019
• Lead Sponsor: Shockwave Medical, Inc.

Brief Summary

To demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Shockwave Reducer for treatment of patients with refractory angina pectoris treated with maximally tolerated guideline-directed medical therapy who demonstrate objective evidence of reversible myocardial ischemia in the distribution of the left coronary artery and who are deemed unsuitable for revascularization. A non-randomized single-arm registry will further assess the safety and effectiveness of the Shockwave Reducer in selected subjects with reversible myocardial ischemia in the distribution of the right coronary artery and who are deemed unsuitable for revascularization, subjects without documented obstructive coronary disease and abnormal coronary flow reserve (ANOCA), and subjects who cannot complete an exercise tolerance test due to lower limb amputation (above the ankle) or other physiologic condition with documented chronic mobility or balance issues that require the use of a walking aid.

Detailed Description

The COSIRA-II study is a multicenter, randomized (1:1 ratio), double-blinded, sham-controlled clinical trial.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Subject is older than 18 years of age
2. Symptomatic coronary artery disease (CAD) with greater than or equal to 90 days of persistent refractory angina pectoris classified as CCS Grade III or IV despite maximally tolerated guideline directed medical therapy as determined by the local heart team and confirmed by a Central Screening Eligibility Committee Note: subjects may also have exertional dyspnea, but the symptoms that limit activity must be anginal in nature (including chest pain, pressure, heaviness, discomfort, with or without radiation to the neck, jaw, shoulders, arms, or other location) and not dyspnea
3. Must have attempted treatment with the maximally tolerated dose of at least three of the four (preferably all four) approved classes of anti-anginal agents: long-acting nitrates, calcium channel blockers (either a dihydropyridine or a non-dihydropyridine), beta blockers, and ranolazine. The regimen must be stable for at least 30 days prior to enrollment, must remain stable from enrollment to randomization, and there must be no intent to change the medical regimen for at least 12 months after randomization Note: If the dose of a medication was increased or decreased for a temporary period and then returned to the original dose, which will then be continued for at least 12 months after randomization, the subject may be immediately enrolled without needing to otherwise requalify
4. Subject has either no treatment options for revascularization by coronary artery bypass grafting or by percutaneous coronary intervention, or is otherwise unsuitable or high risk for revascularization as determined by the local heart team, and confirmed by a Central Screening Eligibility Committee
5. Evidence of either exercise or pharmacologically induced reversible ischemia severity by stress echo, nuclear study, PET, perfusion MRI, CT perfusion, FFR-CT, FFR, iFR, or other non-hyperemic FDA approved tests (such as diastolic hyperaemia free ratio [DRF] or resting full-cycle ratio [RFR] in the distribution of the left coronary artery (LCA), performed within 12 months prior to enrollment and while the patient is maintained on their stable regimen of maximally tolerated doses of anti-anginal medications Note: If the subject has evidence of ischemia in both the LCA and RCA distributions, the extent of ischemia must be greater in the LCA distribution Note: The qualifying assessment must be performed after any myocardial infarction, CABG, or successful PCI within the prior 12 months. If the anti-anginal medication regimen is permanently changed after the assessment of ischemia, the test must be repeated. For subjects with multiple assessments, the one performed closest to enrollment will serve as the qualifying study
6. Functional limitation due to refractory angina as defined by a modified Bruce exercise tolerance test duration of greater than or equal to 2 minutes but less than or equal to 10 minutes, performed while the subject is maintained on their stable regimen of maximally tolerated doses of anti-anginal medications Note: The ETT variability must be less than 20% between last two ETTs performed.

Single-arm Registry (Unblinded, Non-Randomized Treatment Arm) Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria:

Subject can be included in the single-arm registry if they fall into one of the three categories with inclusions and exclusion criteria as described below.

Predominant right coronary disease subjects (RCA):

1. Reversible ischemia: Subjects with evidence of either exercise or pharmacologically induced reversible ischemia by stress echo, nuclear study, PET, perfusion MRI, CT perfusion, FFR-CT, FFR, iFR, or other non-hyperemic FDA approved or cleared tests (such as DFR or RFR) in the distribution of the right coronary artery (RCA), performed within 12 months prior to enrollment.

   Note: If the subject has evidence of ischemia in both the LCA and RCA distributions, the extent of ischemia must be greater in the RCA distribution

   Note: The qualifying assessment must be performed after any myocardial infarction, CABG, or successful PCI within the prior 12 months. If the anti-anginal medication regimen is permanently changed after the assessment of ischemia, the test must be repeated. For subjects with multiple assessments, the one performed closest to enrollment will serve as the qualifying study

2. Obstructive CAD: Three-vessel coronary angiography performed within the 12 months prior to enrollment demonstrating obstructive CAD (visually assessed diameter stenosis of ≥70% or ≥50% - <70% with fractional flow reserve (FFR) value of ≤0.80 or an iFR or other FDA-approved/cleared non-hyperemic physiological assessment (such as DFR or RFR) of ≤0.89 in one or more lesions) in the RCA (main epicardial vessels or branches) that is not suitable for and will not be treated with PCI or CABG as determined by the local heart team.

   Note: The qualifying assessment must be performed after any myocardial infarction, PCI or CABG within the prior 12 months. For subjects with multiple assessments, the one performed closest to enrollment will serve as the qualifying study

3. In addition to the above inclusion criteria, subjects must meet all inclusion criteria (except clinical inclusion #5 and angiographic inclusion #1) and none of the exclusion criteria of the main randomized trial

Non-obstructive coronary artery disease subjects (ANOCA)

1. Abnormal Coronary Flow Reserve (CFR): subjects must have either abnormal PET CFR (< 2.0) or abnormal invasive CFR (<2.5) in at least one main epicardial coronary artery performed within 12 months prior to enrollment

   Note: Subjects may or may not have evidence of either exercise or pharmacologically induced reversible ischemia by stress echo, nuclear study, PET, perfusion MRI, or CT perfusion

2. Non-obstructive CAD: subjects have non-obstructive coronary disease (estimated diameter stenosis in all coronary lesions is <50% and (if performed) FFR ≥0.81 or a non-hyperemic test is ≥0.90) demonstrated on three-vessel coronary angiography performed within the 12 months prior to enrollment. If an estimated diameter stenosis is ≥50% to <70%, the patient may still qualify if FFR ≥0.81 or a non-hyperemic test is ≥0.90 in that vessel. If both FFR and a non-hyperemic test are performed, both must be negative.

   Note: The qualifying 3-vessel angiogram must be performed after any myocardial infarction, PCI or CABG within the 12 months prior to enrollment. For patients with multiple 3-vessel angiograms, the one performed closest to enrollment will serve as the qualifying study

3. In addition to the above inclusion criteria, subjects must meet all inclusion criteria (except clinical inclusion #5 and angiographic inclusion #1) and none of the exclusion criteria of the main randomized trial

Subjects unable to complete ETT

1. Subjects must be unable to complete the required COSIRA-II exercise tolerance test due to lower limb amputation (above the ankle) or other physiologic condition with documented chronic mobility or balance issues that require the use of a walking aid (e.g., wheelchair, cane, rollator, crutches, or knee walker).
2. In addition to the above inclusion criteria, subjects must meet all inclusion criteria (except clinical inclusion #6) and none of the exclusion criteria of the main randomized trial

Prior to inclusion in single-arm registry, all subjects will be reviewed by the Central Screening Eligibility Committee to ensure that they meet registry inclusion criteria and are not eligible for enrollment into the randomized study.

Study & Design

• Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Design: PARALLEL

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Effectiveness	6 months	Change in total exercise duration in a modified Bruce treadmill exercise tolerance testing evaluation in the Treatment arm compared to Sham-control arm.
Safety Events	6 months	The rate of occurrence of a composite of death, myocardial infarction (MI), pericardial effusion requiring surgical or percutaneous intervention, device embolization, or BARC 3 or 5 bleeding evaluation in the Treatment arm compared to the Sham-control arm.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) Score	6 months	Change in Angina Stability domain score from the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ). The Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) is a disease-specific questionnaire used to quantify patients' symptoms of angina and the extent to which their angina affects their functioning and quality of life. Possible scores range from 0 (daily angina) to 100 (no angina). Lower scores indicate worse angina symptoms.
Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) Angina Score	6 months	Improvement by greater than or equal to 2 CCS angina grades. The CCS grading system for angina is a clinical tool used by doctors to assess the degree of severity of a patient's angina. Possible scores range from Class 0 (asymptomatic angina) to Class IV (angina at rest).
