What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether using a temporary heart pump (CorVad) during a procedure to open blocked arteries (PCI) can improve outcomes for people with complex coronary artery disease and a very weak heart (ejection fraction below 35%). Half of the 452 participants will receive the pump-assisted PCI plus standard medications, while the other half will receive medications alone. The main goal is to see if the pump reduces major heart and brain events like death, heart attack, stroke, or heart failure readmission over one year.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
CorVad micro-axial flow pump (device) and optimal medical therapy (drugs)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a safer way to open blocked arteries in people with severely weakened hearts, potentially reducing heart attacks, strokes, and hospitalizations.
What could go wrong
This is a mid-stage trial with 452 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The pump procedure carries risks like bleeding, hemolysis, or stent complications.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. The subject is aged ≥18 years; 2. The subject has been diagnosed with chronic or acute coronary syndrome and has a left ventricular ejection fraction \<35%; 3. After comprehensive evaluation by the cardiac team, it is considered that the subject may benefit from PCI treatment; 4. The subject has signed an informed consent form approved by the ethics committee, has good compliance after discharge, and is willing to undergo clinical follow-up. 5. At least two vascular occlusive lesions (with the diameter of the occluded vessel \>2.5mm) or unprotected left main coronary artery disease, and meeting one or more complex procedural criteria, or three-vessel disease, and meeting two or more complex procedural criteria; Exclusion Criteria: 1. Received mechanical circulatory assistance devices (including IABP, ECMO, Impella, etc.) before randomization; 2. Acute myocardial infarction within 7 days or undergoing thrombolytic therapy; 3. Combined with aortic dissection, pulmonary embolism, or severe pulmonary hypertension; 4. Patients with cardiogenic shock or hemodynamic instability; 5. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed before randomization; 6. Mechanical complications (including ventricular perforation, interventricular septal perforation, mitral valve chordae rupture, etc.) confirmed before randomization and subsequent to acute myocardial infarction; 7. The mechanical circulatory assist device cannot be implanted or there are contraindications (including but not limited to left ventricular mural thrombus, artificial aortic valve or cardiac contractile device, moderate or severe aortic stenosis, moderate or severe aortic regurgitation, presence of stents in peripheral vascular access, tortuosity, dissection, and other severe vascular lesions that hinder the implantation of the investigational device, aortic aneurysm or severe malformation abnormalities, blood cell fragility or hemolytic blood system diseases, hypertrophic or hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, etc.); 8. Severe abnormalities in platelets, with a count below 50×10\^9/L or above 600×10\^9/L; 9. Active visceral hemorrhage or hemorrhagic stroke occurs within 1 month; 10. Unable to use antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs; 11. Has a history of drug allergy and cannot tolerate conventional cardiovascular drug therapy and intraoperative medications; 12. Severe renal insufficiency, requiring or expected to require long-term dialysis treatment; 13. Severe active infection, puncture site infection, sepsis, or septicemia; 14. Life expectancy is less than or equal to 1 year; 15. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding; 16. Severe right heart failure or severe tricuspid regurgitation; 17. Participation in other clinical trials has not yet reached the primary endpoint; 18. Other situations that are unforeseen or deemed unsuitable by the researcher's comprehensive judgment.
