Supira System in high-risk PCI: a pivotal comparison to Impella
Official title: Pivotal Randomized Study of the SUpira System in Patients Undergoing High-Risk Percutaneous COronaRy InTervention (HRPCI)
Run by Supira Medical · NCT07296744 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether the Supira System can safely and effectively support the heart during high-risk PCI, compared with the currently available Impella device.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Patients undergoing HRPCI who are hemodynamically stable but require temporary mechanical support and can receive either the Supira or Impella device.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with cardiogenic shock, recent stroke with deficit, significant aortic/iliofemoral anatomy issues, or active infections may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This is a randomized, controlled comparison of the Supira System versus the Impella for temporary left-ventricular support during high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention. Eligible patients are adults undergoing elective or urgent HRPCI who need hemodynamic support and meet predefined criteria. The Supira System is a percutaneous ventricular assist device delivered through the femoral artery to unload the left ventricle for up to 4 hours during the procedure. Outcomes focus on safety and efficacy of hemodynamic support and device performance. The study is conducted at three California centers and is sponsored by Supira Medical.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the Supira System could provide a safe, effective alternative for temporary heart support during high-risk PCI.
How similar studies have gone: Prior devices to support HRPCI show safety and potential benefits; this study tests a new percutaneous system against an established comparator.

Inclusion Criteria: * Hemodynamically stable and will undergo elective or urgent (not emergent) HRPCI, where hemodynamic support is deemed necessary, as determined by the institutional Heart Team * Informed consent granted by the subject or legally authorized representative Exclusion Criteria: * Cardiogenic shock or acutely decompensated pre-existing chronic heart failure * Stroke within 6 months of the index procedure, or any prior stroke with permanent neurologic deficit * Left ventricular thrombus * Aortic and iliofemoral anatomical conditions that preclude safe delivery and placement of the investigational device or the comparator device * Ongoing renal replacement therapy with dialysis * Presence of decompensated liver disease; severe liver dysfunction * Infection of the proposed procedural access site or active infection * Known hypersensitivity to intravenous contrast agents that cannot be adequately pre-medicated or known hypersensitivity to heparin, aspirin, adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor inhibitors, or nitinol * Any condition, coagulopathy, planned procedure or contraindication that requires discontinuation of antiplatelet and/or anticoagulant therapy within 90 days of the index procedure * Breastfeeding or pregnant or planning to become pregnant within 90 days of the HRPCI procedure * Currently participating in active follow-up phase of another clinical study of an investigational drug or device or planning to enroll in such a study within 90 days of the HRPCI procedure * Other medical, social, or psychological problems that, in the opinion of the Investigator, compromises the subject's ability to provide written informed consent and/or to comply with study procedures * Considered to be part of a vulnerable population per the investigator's assessment
