Testing a new drug for coronary artery spasm
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a drug that blocks certain receptors to see if it reduces chest pain caused by coronary artery spasm. If you have frequent angina despite current treatments, this study may offer a new option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with coronary artery spasm using a specific heart test.
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You have tried at least 2 angina medicines (like nitrates and calcium channel blockers) but still have chest pain at least once a week.
- You are not pregnant and will use effective birth control if needed.
- You do not have severe liver problems, severe anemia, or low blood pressure.

This trial tests a device called the Coronary Sinus Reducer for people with chest pain caused by problems in the small arteries of the heart. The device is placed in a vein near the heart to improve blood flow and reduce symptoms.
This trial is testing a new way to diagnose problems in the small blood vessels of the heart that can cause chest pain even when the main arteries look clear. The test uses a special technique to measure how well these small vessels work, which could help find the cause of your symptoms.
This study tests if specific heart medicines (like beta-blockers or calcium channel blockers) can help people with chest pain that is not caused by blocked arteries. It aims to treat the tiny blood vessels or spasms that may be the real cause of your pain.
This trial tests whether a small pressure-reducing device placed in a heart vein (the coronary sinus) can reduce symptoms in people with ongoing chest pain from tiny blood vessel problems. It is for angina that has not improved despite standard heart medicines, and only if special heart tests show reversible reduced blood flow.
This trial tests a small device called a coronary sinus reducer that is placed in a vein of the heart to improve blood flow and reduce chest pain in people who still have angina despite medications and cannot have stents or bypass surgery. The procedure is done through a small tube in the groin or arm.
This trial tests a special wireless pressure catheter to see how well the tiny blood vessels in the heart are working. It may help people who have chest pain but don't have major blockages in their main heart arteries.
