About this study

Official title: Forward-Shifted Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) Technology in a Prospective, Multi-center, Single-arm Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) Study

The FORWARD PAD IDE Study is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm investigational device exemption study, conducted to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Shockwave Medical Mini S Peripheral IVL System for the treatment of heavily calcified, stenotic peripheral arteries.

What participants receive

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

  • Intravascular LithotripsyDevice

    The Shockwave Medical IVL System is intended for lithotripsy-enhanced treatment of lesions, including calcified lesions, to increase luminal diameter, allowing for further treatment (e.g. post-dilatation) in the peripheral arterial vasculature. Not for use in the coronary or cerebral vasculature.

Study groups in NCT05858905
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
JAVELIN Study CatheterExperimentalThe JAVELIN catheter will be used to treat subjects with moderate to severely calcified peripheral artery disease (PAD) with target lesion located in a native, de novo superficial femoral, popliteal or infrapopliteal artery.
Receives: Device: Intravascular Lithotripsy

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary Safety Endpoint - Major Adverse Events (MAE) at 30 Days

    Major Adverse Events (MAE) at 30 days defined as a composite of:

    • Cardiovascular death
    • Clinically-Driven Target Lesion Revascularization (CD-TLR)
    • Unplanned Target Limb Major Amputation (Above the Ankle)

    Measured: 30 Days

  2. Primary Effectiveness Endpoint - Technical Success

    Technical Success defined as final residual stenosis ≤50% without flow-limiting dissection (≥ Grade D) of the target lesion as assessed by angiographic core lab.

    Measured: Peri-Procedural, immediately after all therapy of the target lesion was completed.

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Serious Angiographic Complications

    Defined as flow-limiting dissection (≥ Grade D), perforation, distal embolization, or acute vessel closure as assessed by the angiographic core laboratory

    Measured: Peri-Procedural

  2. IVL Technical Success (Post- Dilatation)

    Defined as post-dilatation residual stenosis ≤50% without flow-limiting dissection (≥ Grade D) of the target lesion, as assessed by angiographic core laboratory (measured immediately following mandatory post-dilatation).

    Measured: Peri-Procedural

  3. IVL Device Success

    Defined as the ability to deliver, advance across the target lesion, pressurize, pulse, flush, and retrieve the Javelin IVL Catheter.

    Measured: Peri-Procedural

  4. Technical Success (Final)

    Defined as final residual stenosis of ≤30% without flow-limiting dissection (≥ Grade D) of the target lesion by angiographic core laboratory

    Measured: Peri-Procedural

  5. MAEs at 6-months Post Procedure

    Major Adverse Events (MAEs) at 6 months defined as a composite of:

    • Cardiovascular Death
    • Clinically-driven Target Lesion Revascularization
    • Unplanned Target Limb Amputation (Above the Ankle)

    Measured: 6 Months Post-Procedure

  6. MAEs at 12-months Post Procedure

    Major Adverse Events (MAEs) at 12 months defined as a composite of:

    • Cardiovascular Death
    • Clinically-driven Target Lesion Revascularization
    • Unplanned Target Limb Amputation (Above the Ankle)

    Measured: 12 Months Post-Procedure

  7. Primary Patency at 12-Months

    • Above the knee lesions: freedom from ≥50% restenosis as determined by Duplex Ultrasound (DUS) and freedom from Clinically-Driven Target Lesion Revascularization (CD-TLR)
    • Below the knee lesions: freedom from both total occlusion (100% diameter stenosis by DUS) in all of the target lesions in a flow pathway, as well as a CD-TLR

    Measured: 12-Months Post Procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intravascular Lithotripsy in people with Peripheral Arterial Disease, run by Shockwave Medical, Inc. at 21 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?

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 21 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Jun 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Primary Safety Endpoint - Major Adverse Events (MAE) at 30 Days (time frame: 30 Days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 14 Jul 2026.
