Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Enrollment (Anticipated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Genders Eligible for Study

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient with a signed Informed Consent Form.
  • Patient's current and past medical condition and status be assessed using previous medical history, complete physical examination and the physicians (principle investigator's) medical opinion.
  • Patient is diagnosed with chronic angina pectoris for at least 6 weeks. Diagnosis is based on medical history, complete physical examination, and core labs.
  • Patients who no longer receive benefit from additional revascularization procedures (i.e. CABG or Angioplasty). Certification will be made by Heart Team.
  • Patient demonstrates Exercise Tolerance Time (ETT) duration < 10 minutes on Modified Bruce protocol.
  • Patient had at least one documented myocardial segment with reversible ischemia.
  • Patient is under optimum medical therapy for angina for at least 6 weeks. The optimal treatment plan is tailored to a person's age, the presence of other medical conditions, lifestyle, medication side effects, etc. Medical therapies for stable angina include ACE-inhibitors, Nitrates, Beta Blockers and Calcium Channel Blockers, trimetazidine, ivabradin. Combination of any of 3 above mentioned drugs will be considered as optimum medical therapy.
  • Patient has an echocardiographic acoustic window to the target area in the myocardium utilizing one of the following views: apical 2 chamber view (2CH), apical 4 chamber view (4CH), modified parasternal long axis view (LAX) and parasternal short axis view (SAX).

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient who will substantially benefit from additional revascularization procedures such as additional CABG or angioplasty therapies. This determination will be made and certified by the Heart Team.
  • Patient has active endocarditis, myocarditis or pericarditis.
  • Patient with moderately severe or severe valvular disease.
  • Patient with known intraventricular thrombus.
  • Patients who have active or non-active implantables, such as pacemakers, defibrillators, abandoned leads, or electrodes.
  • Patient for who shock waves applied over any implanted device that releases substances or medications to the periphery (such as insulin pumps).
  • Patient is pregnant.
  • Patient with severe chronic lung disease (emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis) with difficult access to ultrasonic acoustic window.
  • Patients for who shock waves applied over the area of healing fracture.
  • Patients for who shock waves applied over the area of bone growth.
  • Patients for who shock waves applied to the area of malignancy.
  • Prior invasive malignancy, except non-melanomatous skin cancer or other malignancies with a documented disease-free survival for a minimum of 5 years.
  • By the physician decision there is underlying concomitant disease or circumstance what may negatively influence the management of the patient.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure

Time Frame: baseline and 6 months
baseline and 6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure

Time Frame: baseline and 3, 6 months
