About this study

Official title: A Prospective Multi-center Study Comparing Cardiac Computed Tomography (CT) Using a 64-detector Row Volumetric Computed Tomography (VCT) Scanner for the Detection of Coronary Artery Disease With Cardiac Radionuclide Imaging.

To determine the relative efficacy of Cardiac Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA) and Single Positron Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) in patients with an intermediate risk of CAD.

Read the detailed description

This study is a prospective, multi-center, within-subject comparative study. One hundred fifty (150) subjects with CATH procedures are needed in the study. Approximately 300 subjects who meet all of the inclusion/exclusion criteria will be enrolled. The study population will consist of subjects with symptoms suspected of and at intermediate-risk for ischemic heart disease, which are referred for MPS for a definitive diagnosis of CAD.

Each subject will undergo the following procedures:

  • A Myocardial Perfusion Study (MPS) procedure, as standard of care;
  • An IV contrast-enhanced cardiac CT (CCTA) procedure;
  • A CATH procedure when the MPS and/or cardiac CT examination is deemed positive or equivocal and at the discretion of the referring physicians, as a standard-of-care procedure.

When both the MPS and CCTA are normal, the subject is not required to undergo a CATH procedure, but will enter into follow-up. The research staff at each site will perform follow-up for each subject at 12 months (± 15 days) and 24 months (± 15 days) and 36 months (± 15 days) after the completion of the cardiac CT procedure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 64 Channel VCT in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by GE Healthcare at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Aug 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Aug 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Detection of Significant Coronary Artery Disease Using Diagnostic Catheterization for Standard of Truth. (time frame: through study completion, an expected average of 1 year). 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.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Aug 2017.
