About this study

Official title: A Prospective Single-Arm Multicenter Study Evaluating Use of the CORA Catheters for the Crossing of Coronary Chronic Total Occlusions

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the coraFlex, coraForce, and coraCross catheters for crossing chronic total occlusions of the coronary arteries. The study will compare the rate of procedure success to success rates from previous trials.

Participants will undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for a chronic total occlusion and be followed for 30 days post-procedure.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this prospective, multicenter, single arm clinical study is to compare the rate of procedure success of the coraCross, coraForce, and coraFlex catheters in facilitating guidewire placement beyond coronary chronic total occlusions to a pre-defined performance goal based on literature. The study population will consist of those 18 years or older with symptomatic ischemic heart disease, undergoing clinically indicated percutaneous recanalization of an occlusive coronary lesion, and meeting all other eligibility criteria. Measures will be assessed through 30 days post-intervention.

What participants receive

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

  • coraFlex CatheterDevice

    The coraFlex catheter is intended to facilitate the intraluminal placement of conventional guidewires beyond occluded coronary lesions.

  • coraForce CatheterDevice

    The coraForce catheter is intended to facilitate the intraluminal placement of conventional guidewires beyond occluded coronary lesions.

  • coraCross CatheterDevice

    The coraCross catheter is intended to facilitate the intraluminal placement of conventional guidewires beyond occluded coronary lesions.

What is being measured

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

  1. Procedure success defined as technical success and the absence of in-hospital Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE)

    • Technical success is defined as angiographic confirmation of chronic total occlusion crossing with guidewire placement, facilitated by one or more of the Cora Catheters, in the target vessel true lumen either distal or proximal to the occlusion, depending on the route of access.
    • MACE includes cardiac death, myocardial infarction {Q-wave or non-Q-wave, with CK-MB >3 times upper limit of normal}, and target lesion revascularization

    Measured: Through hospital discharge or 24 hours post-procedure (whichever comes first)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing coraFlex Catheter, coraForce Catheter and coraCross Catheter in people with Coronary Occlusion, run by ReFlow Medical, Inc. at 1 site 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 7 inclusion and 30 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Sara Finton (616-633-9178, sfinton@reflowmedical.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Procedure success defined as technical success and the absence of in-hospital Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE) (time frame: Through hospital discharge or 24 hours post-procedure (whichever comes first)). 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 10 May 2024.
