An interventional study of Arm 1: treatment with Shockwave Reducer and Arm 2 (control): Implantation procedure with no device implanted in Refractory Angina, sponsored by Shockwave Medical, Inc.. Recruiting at 97 sites in 3 countries. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-09-30.
Sponsored by Shockwave Medical, Inc. (part of Johnson & Johnson) · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
To demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Shockwave Reducer for treatment of patients with refractory angina pectoris treated with maximally tolerated guideline-directed medical therapy who demonstrate objective evidence of reversible myocardial ischemia in the distribution of the left coronary artery and who are deemed unsuitable for revascularization. A non-randomized single-arm registry will further assess the safety and effectiveness of the Shockwave Reducer in selected subjects with reversible myocardial ischemia in the distribution of the right coronary artery and who are deemed unsuitable for revascularization, subjects without documented obstructive coronary disease and abnormal coronary flow reserve (ANOCA), and subjects who cannot complete an exercise tolerance test due to lower limb amputation (above the ankle) or other physiologic condition with documented chronic mobility or balance issues that require the use of a walking aid.
The COSIRA-II study is a multicenter, randomized (1:1 ratio), double-blinded, sham-controlled clinical trial.
453 studies on the registry are indexed under Angina Pectoris; 67 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 380 is above the median of 100 across 273 interventional studies indexed under Angina Pectoris.

Angiographic Inclusion Criteria:
1) Three-vessel coronary angiography performed within 12 months prior to enrollment demonstrating obstructive CAD (visually estimated diameter stenosis of ≥70% or ≥50% - \<70% with fractional flow reserve (FFR) value of ≤0.80 or an iFR or other FDA-approved/cleared non-hyperemic physiological assessment (such as DFR or RFR) of ≤0.89 in one or more lesions) in the left coronary artery (main epicardial vessels or branches) that is not suitable for and will not be treated with PCI or CABG as determined by the local heart team Note: The qualifying 3-vessel angiogram must be performed after any myocardial infarction, PCI, or CABG within the 12 months prior to enrollment. For patients with multiple 3-vessel angiograms, the one performed closest to enrollment will serve as the qualifying study
Exclusion Criteria:
Recent successful revascularization by either CABG or PCI within six months prior to enrollment
Note: Successful revascularization is defined as any CABG procedure, or any PCI procedure with a reduction of one or more lesions to \<50% diameter stenosis
Note: Subjects with successful revascularization by either CABG or PCI that occurred less than six months prior to enrollment may still be approved for participation in the trial if revascularization was completed six months prior to procedure and CSEC approves subject participation
Recent unsuccessful PCI (e.g., failed attempt to open a chronic total occlusion) within 30 days prior to enrollment
Note: Subjects with unsuccessful PCI that occurred less than 30 days prior to enrollment may still be approved for participation in the trial if PCI was completed 30 days prior to procedure and CSEC approves subject participation
The predominant manifestation of angina is dyspnea
Note: some dyspnea may be present with exertion, but the predominant symptom that limits activity must be angina (i.e., chest pain, pressure, tightness, heaviness, or discomfort, with or without radiation to the neck, jaw, shoulders, arms, or other location)
Angiographic/Hemodynamic Exclusion Criteria:
1) Coronary anatomy amenable to revascularization of ischemic myocardial territory by either PCI or CABG with at least moderate likelihood of long-term alleviation of angina or angina equivalent symptoms, as per the assessment of the local heart team.
Note: If a pathway to coronary revascularization is present which, in the opinion of the local heart team, is reasonably low risk and reasonably likely to provide long-term symptom relief and the subject refuses the revascularization procedure, the patient is ineligible for randomization
Procedural Angiographic/Hemodynamic Randomization Exclusion Criteria:
Single-arm Registry (Unblinded, Non-Randomized Treatment Arm) Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria:
Subject can be included in the single-arm registry if they fall into one of the three categories with inclusions and exclusion criteria as described below.
Predominant right coronary disease subjects (RCA):
Reversible ischemia: Subjects with evidence of either exercise or pharmacologically induced reversible ischemia by stress echo, nuclear study, PET, perfusion MRI, CT perfusion, FFR-CT, FFR, iFR, or other non-hyperemic FDA approved or cleared tests (such as DFR or RFR) in the distribution of the right coronary artery (RCA), performed within 12 months prior to enrollment.
Note: If the subject has evidence of ischemia in both the LCA and RCA distributions, the extent of ischemia must be greater in the RCA distribution
Note: The qualifying assessment must be performed after any myocardial infarction, CABG, or successful PCI within the prior 12 months. If the anti-anginal medication regimen is permanently changed after the assessment of ischemia, the test must be repeated. For subjects with multiple assessments, the one performed closest to enrollment will serve as the qualifying study
Obstructive CAD: Three-vessel coronary angiography performed within the 12 months prior to enrollment demonstrating obstructive CAD (visually assessed diameter stenosis of ≥70% or ≥50% - \<70% with fractional flow reserve (FFR) value of ≤0.80 or an iFR or other FDA-approved/cleared non-hyperemic physiological assessment (such as DFR or RFR) of ≤0.89 in one or more lesions) in the RCA (main epicardial vessels or branches) that is not suitable for and will not be treated with PCI or CABG as determined by the local heart team.
Note: The qualifying assessment must be performed after any myocardial infarction, PCI or CABG within the prior 12 months. For subjects with multiple assessments, the one performed closest to enrollment will serve as the qualifying study
Non-obstructive coronary artery disease subjects (ANOCA)
Abnormal Coronary Flow Reserve (CFR): subjects must have either abnormal PET CFR (\< 2.0), abnormal perfusion CMR (cardiac MRI) CFR (\<1.85), or abnormal invasive CFR (\<2.5) in at least one main epicardial coronary artery performed within 12 months prior to enrollment
Note: Subjects may or may not have evidence of either exercise or pharmacologically induced reversible ischemia by stress echo, nuclear study, PET, perfusion MRI, or CT perfusion
Non-obstructive CAD: subjects have non-obstructive coronary disease (estimated diameter stenosis in all coronary lesions is \<50% and (if performed) FFR ≥0.81 or a non-hyperemic test is ≥0.90) demonstrated on three-vessel coronary angiography performed within the 12 months prior to enrollment. If an estimated diameter stenosis is ≥50% to \<70%, the patient may still qualify if FFR ≥0.81 or a non-hyperemic test is ≥0.90 in that vessel. If both FFR and a non-hyperemic test are performed, both must be negative.
Note: The qualifying 3-vessel angiogram must be performed after any myocardial infarction, PCI or CABG within the 12 months prior to enrollment. For patients with multiple 3-vessel angiograms, the one performed closest to enrollment will serve as the qualifying study
Subjects unable to complete ETT
Prior to inclusion in single-arm registry, all subjects will be reviewed by the Central Screening Eligibility Committee to ensure that they meet registry inclusion criteria and are not eligible for enrollment into the randomized study.
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.
The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Started Jan 2022 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jul 2027, 66 months after the start.
Of 72 interventional studies with no phase under Angina Pectoris, half reached primary completion within 43 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 18 and three quarters within 64. This study's planned 66 months is above that.
How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.
