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 group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| JAVELIN Study Catheter | Experimental | The 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.
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
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)
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
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
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
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
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
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
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

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?

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.
