NCT ID NCT07510438

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 first-in-human study tests a new device called Pulse IVL that uses sound waves to break up calcium buildup in heart arteries. Up to 15 people with coronary artery disease will receive the treatment before getting a stent. The goal is to see if the device is safe and helps open the artery enough for successful stenting.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Pulse Intravascular Lithotripsy (Pulse IVL) device
What this could lead to
If successful, this device could offer a safer way to prepare hardened arteries for stenting, potentially improving blood flow and reducing complications.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small study with only 15 people. The device may not work as expected or could cause vessel damage. More research is needed before it becomes widely available.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 15 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

May 2026

Expected to finish

Dec 2027

Lead sponsor

A company

The lead sponsor is a pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical-device company.

Key Inclusion Criteria: * ≥ 18 years of age * Subjects with native coronary artery disease * Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 35% within 6 months * The target lesion must be a single de novo coronary lesion * The target lesion stenosis of left anterior descending artery (LAD), right coronary artery (RCA), left circumflex artery (LCX), or ramus intermedius (RI), or of their branches with Stenosis of ≥70% and \<100% or Stenosis ≥50% and \<70% with evidence of ischemia * Lesion length must not exceed 44 mm Key Exclusion Criteria: * Subject experienced an acute Myocardial Infarction (MI), either ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) within 30 days prior to index procedure. * Subject has New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or IV heart failure. * Subject has renal failure with serum creatinine \>2.5 mg/dL, or chronic dialysis. * Subject has a previous stent in the target vessel implanted within last six months. * Unprotected LMCA diameter stenosis \>30%. * Target lesion has a myocardial bridge. * Target vessel is excessively tortuous, defined as the presence of 2 or more bends \>90 degrees or 3 or more bends \>75 degrees. * Evidence of aneurysm in target vessel within 10 mm of the target lesion. * Target lesion in ostial location (LAD, RCA, LCX, or RI, within 5 mm of ostium) or in an unprotected LMCA. * Target lesion is a bifurcation with ostial diameter stenosis ≥30%. * Any previous stent within 10 mm of the target lesion.
