Study summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the accuracy of robotic-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using the CorPath GRX® System, versus standard PCI when treating ostial lesions.

CorPath GRX System (the Device) is a robotic-like device that is cleared for the remote delivery and control of heart catheterization devices. It helps doctors insert and move heart catheters (a thin, flexible tube) and similar types of devices inside patients blood vessels to treat the blockage in their heart.

The results will help to evaluate whether procedures using the CorPath GRX result in more accurate stenting (placing of a tube to keep heart vessel open) compared to standard PCI.

Read the detailed description

To assess accuracy of robotic-assisted PCI in obtaining full ostial lesion coverage and minimal protrusion compared to standard PCI.

Robotically assisted PCI offers the opportunity of performing minimal device movements (up to a minimum of 1 mm) in a stable and reproducible setting. This feature may be of great help when dealing with ostial lesions, whose treatment requires a precise stent positioning to avoid strut protrusion but also geographic miss of the lesion. Robotic-assisted PCI for ostial lesions showed encouraging results in large observational registries, but no study compared this approach with standard PCI.

The aim is to perform a randomized (1:1) study comparing standard (n=33) and robotic-assisted PCI (n=33) in obtaining full lesion coverage when treating ostial lesions (ostial left main will be excluded).

Primary endpoint of the study will be full ostial coverage as assessed by IVUS imaging, while secondary endpoints will be procedural success, vessel damage and number of protruding struts in the donor vessel as assessed by IVUS imaging.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Male or nonpregnant female aged ≥18 years
  • Coronary OSTIAL lesion suitable for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)
  • The subject has been informed of the nature of the study, agrees to its provisions and has provided written .

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Cardiogenic shock or hemodynamic instability requiring support.
  • ST-elevation myocardial infarction.
  • Ongoing acute renal failure.
  • In the opinion of the investigator, the subject is deemed unsuitable for robotic PCI due to clinical status and/or anatomic characteristics
  • More than one lesion to be treated
  • Ostial left main disease
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

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.

Informed consent

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.

Study arms

  • Active comparator
    Robotic-assisted PCI with Corpath GRX® System

    Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using the Corpath GRX System.

    Device: Robotic-assisted PCI with Corpath GRX® System

  • Active comparator
    Standard PCI

    Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using manual techniques. This arm will be completed without robotic assistance.

    Procedure: Standard PCI

Interventions

  • DeviceRobotic-assisted PCI with Corpath GRX® System

    The CorPath GRX System is intended for use in the remote delivery and manipulation of guidewires and rapid exchange catheters, and remote manipulation of guide catheters during percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI).

  • ProcedureStandard PCI

    Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a procedure used to treat the blockages in a coronary artery; it opens up narrowed or blocked sections of the artery, restoring blood flow to the heart. This arm will be completed without robotic assistance.

Adverse events

Collected over Adverse event data was ascertained on the the day of the one subject enrollment. After the subject was unable to undergo the study treatment per protocol the study was discontinued due to Sponsor business decision and therefore no additional adverse event data was collected.. Non-serious events are listed at a 0% frequency threshold.

Baseline characteristics

One subject was enrolled and randomized to Robotic-assisted PCI with Corpath GRX® System, however they were withdrawn before they could be treated with the CorPath GRX due to tortuous vessel anatomy. The study was then closed and no other subjects were enrolled.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jun 4, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
