Brief Summary

The FORWARD CAD IDE Study is a Prospective, Multicenter, Single-Arm, Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) Study conducted to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Shockwave Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) System with the Javelin Coronary IVL Catheter for the treatment of calcified, stenotic de novo coronary artery lesions prior to stenting.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Primary Safety Endpoint - Freedom from MACE within 30 days

    Freedom from major adverse cardiac events (MACE) within 30 days of the index procedure. MACE (Clinical Events Committee \[CEC\] adjudicated) is defined as: * Cardiac death; or * Myocardial infarction (MI) defined as CK-MB level \> 3 times the upper limit of lab normal (ULN) value with or without new pathologic Q wave at discharge (periprocedural MI) and using the Fourth Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction beyond discharge (spontaneous MI); or * Target vessel revascularization (TVR) defined as revascularization at the target vessel (inclusive of the target lesion) after the completion of the index procedure

    30 Days

  • Primary Performance Endpoint - Technical Success

    Technical Success defined as successful Shockwave Javelin Coronary IVL-enabled lesion crossing without serious angiographic complications determined by angiographic core lab

    Peri-procedural

Study Arms (1)

Shockwave Javelin Coronary IVL Catheter

EXPERIMENTAL

The Shockwave Javelin Coronary IVL Catheter will be used to treat subjects with moderate-to-severely calcified, stenotic de novo coronary artery lesions presenting with stable angina or following stabilization after acute coronary syndrome (ACS) that are suitable for non-emergent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Device: Intravascular Lithotripsy

Interventions

The Shockwave Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) System with the Shockwave Javelin Coronary Catheter is intended to treat calcified stenosis, including calcified stenoses that are anticipated to exhibit resistance to balloon crossing, full dilatation or subsequent uniform coronary stent expansion.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Subject is ≥18 years of age
  • Subject is able and willing to comply with all assessments in the study.
  • Subjects with native coronary artery disease including stable angina or following stabilization after acute coronary syndromes (ACS) for non-emergent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)
  • Biomarkers (troponin) must be:
  • less than or equal to the upper limit of lab normal within 24 hours prior to the procedure or may be drawn from the side port of the sheath at the time of index if the PCI is a non-emergent procedure and has stable angina (result will not be known prior to procedure); OR
  • if above the upper limit of lab normal, biomarker result must be less than 5 times the upper limit of lab normal within 24 hours prior to the procedure and the following criteria must be met: • The procedure must not be emergent and the subject cannot have angina at rest.
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \>30% within 6 months (note: in the case of an event (MI or Revascularization) the LVEF must be taken post-event and in the case of multiple assessments of LVEF, the measurement closest to enrollment will be used for this criterion; may be assessed at time of index procedure).
  • Subject, or legally authorized representative, signs a written Informed Consent form to participate in the study, prior to any study-mandated procedures.
  • Estimated life expectancy \>1 year.
  • Lesions in non-target vessels requiring PCI may be treated either:
  • \>30 days prior to the study procedure if the procedure was unsuccessful or complicated; OR
  • \>24 hours prior to the study procedure if the procedure was successful and uncomplicated (defined as a final lesion angiographic diameter stenosis \<30% and TIMI 3 flow (visually assessed) for all non-target lesions and vessels without perforation, cardiac arrest or need for defibrillation or cardioversion or hypotension/heart failure requiring mechanical or intravenous hemodynamic support or intubation, and no evidence of elevated biomarkers post-procedure; OR
  • \>30 days after the study procedure
  • The target lesion must be a de novo coronary lesion that has not been previously treated successfully with any interventional procedure
  • Single de novo target lesion stenosis of protected LMCA, or LAD, RCA or LCX (or of their branches)
  • +5 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Any comorbidity or condition which may prevent compliance with this protocol, including follow-up visits
  • Subject is participating in another research study involving an investigational agent including pharmaceutical, biologic, or medical device that has not reached the primary endpoint
  • Subject is pregnant or nursing (a negative pregnancy test is required for women of child-bearing potential within 7 days prior to enrollment)
  • Unable to tolerate antiplatelet/anticoagulation therapy per society guidelines
  • Subject has an allergy to imaging contrast media which cannot be adequately pre-medicated
  • Subject experienced an acute STEMI within 30 days prior to index procedure
  • New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or IV heart failure
  • Subject has acute or chronic renal disease with eGFR \<30 ml/min/1.73m2 (using institutional formula)
  • History of a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) within 60 days, or any prior intracranial hemorrhage or permanent neurologic deficit
  • Active peptic ulcer or upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding within 3 months
  • Untreated pre-procedural hemoglobin \<10 g/dL or intention to refuse blood transfusions if one should become necessary
  • Coagulopathy, including but not limited to platelet count \<100,000 or International Normalized ratio (INR) \>1.7 (INR is only required in subjects who have taken warfarin within 2 weeks of enrollment)
  • Subject has a hypercoagulable disorder such as polycythemia vera, platelet count \>750,000 or other disorders
  • Subject has an active systemic infection on the day of the index procedure with either fever, leukocytosis or requiring intravenous antibiotics
  • Subjects with clinical evidence of cardiogenic shock
  • +16 more criteria
