About this study

500 Patients (minimum) will be enrolled following commercial implant. Will be treated by their physicians using the standard of care.

Standard of care for the Guardian includes an in-office initial programming visit 7-14 days following implant and every 6 months.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this prospective, non-randomized, single arm, event-based, multicenter trial is to assess: (1) the diagnostic accuracy of the device, (2) the compliance of the prescribing physician, (3) the experience of the implanting physician, (4) the experience of the emergency department physician and (5) the patient compliance for "Emergency" and "See Doctor" alerts. The adequacy of the training program for the prescribing physician, implanting physician, emergency department physician, and patients will be assessed.

A minimum of 500 patients who have had prior ACS events and who remain at high risk for recurrent ACS events will be enrolled in the PAS, for the purpose of accruing 314 adjudicated True Positive (TP) or False Positive (FP) ACS events. These ACS events will contribute to the Positive Predictive Value (PPV) and false positive rate (FPR) endpoints of the study. The PAS will be completed once the 314 ACS events have been collected and adjudicated.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • PMA P150009 AngelMed Guardian® SystemDevice

    The AngelMed Guardian® System is an implantable cardiac monitor with patient alerting capability and an additional external alarm device. The Guardian® System is indicated for use in patients who have had prior ACS events and who remain at high risk for recurrent ACS events. The Guardian® System is indicated as an adjunct to patient recognized symptoms. The Guardian® System detects potential ongoing ACS events, characterized by sustained ST segment changes, and alerts the patient to seek medical attention for those potential ACS events.

    A Guardian® System alert is a more accurate predictor of ACS events when compared to patient recognized symptoms alone and demonstrates a reduced rate over time of patient presentations without ACS events (false positives) when compared to patient recognized symptoms alone. In the absence of symptoms, the Guardian® System may identify asymptomatic ACS events and prompt the patient to seek medical attention.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Efficacy (PPV and FPR)

    This study is a post approval study aiming to gather data from FDA approved and standard of care implants using the proprietary medical device created by Angel Medical Systems, The Guardian. The study is collecting specific information from the subjects, devices and index procedure to demonstrate non-inferior performance of a now FDA approved product in a commercial setting. The diagnostic accuracy of the device will be assessed by comparing the Positive Predictive Value (PPV) and the False Positive Rate (FPR) results in the PAS to the results for the same endpoints in the ALARMS-ON group in the PMA-Amendment (i.e. including patients who both had the device implanted and alarms turned on). The hypotheses will be assessed with performance goals for both PPV and FPR.

    Measured: The PAS is a 3 year, event based study, looking to accumulate 314 ACS events. Patients will be seen for an in-office initial programming visit 7-14 days following implant and every 6 months thereafter until study exit or study completion.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Adequacy of Training Programs for Study Team and Patients

    Instances where the device is prescribed/implanted for patients that don't meet proper labeling criteria. Instances of system revisions, any system problem that requires invasive corrective procedures to resolve, required within 6mo. of implant. Instances of "Emergency" alarm non-compliance, failure to report to the ER within 72 hours of the alarm. Instances of "See Doctor" noncompliance, defined as failure to present to doctor within 2 weeks of alarm or reporting to ER instead of to doctor in response to alarm. Instances of patient non-success to reconfirm ability to distinguish between "Emergency" and "See Doctor," defined by being able to report the proper actions to take for each and what to do when only symptoms occur in the absence of an alarm. Instances of percutaneous intervention without at least one positive standard of care test reported on a site-based and visit-based basis.

    Measured: The PAS is a 3 year, event based study, looking to accumulate 314 ACS events. Patients will be seen for an in-office initial programming visit 7-14 days following implant and every 6 months thereafter until study exit or study completion.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by Angel Medical Systems at 18 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Sep 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jacqueline Finley, BS (732.542.5551 ext. 106, jfinley@avertix.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Efficacy (PPV and FPR) (time frame: The PAS is a 3 year, event based study, looking to accumulate 314 ACS events. Patients will be seen for an in-office initial programming visit 7-14 days following implant and every 6 months thereafter until study exit or study completion.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Sep 2025.
