Trial summary

The accuracy of stress single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is limited by imaging artifacts, many of which are caused by soft tissue attenuation.

About this study

The accuracy of stress single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is limited by imaging artifacts, many of which are caused by soft tissue attenuation. A recent multicenter study performed by our laboratory comparing 7 commercially available attenuation correction (AC) camera systems in a cardiac phantom showed the best performance with the GE Hawkeye (a hybrid gamma camera-CT scanner) and the University of Michigan M-step (unique feature a camera orbit of 360˚ versus the usual 180˚) systems. In this study we will combine the strengths of these two systems (GE Hawkeye AC system and 360˚ camera orbit) to test the accuracy of this imaging system in a population of 400 consecutive patients undergoing clinically indicated stress SPECT. These patients will undergo SPECT imaging both with conventional methodology and the GE Hawkeye system. The conventional study will be interpreted and reported in the usual clinical fashion. The GE Hawkeye images will be interpreted independently by 2 observers blinded to the results of conventional imaging and will not be reported clinically. The primary study hypothesis is that AC will substantially reduce attenuation artifacts (mild fixed defects) without reducing the accuracy of either normal studies or myocardial infarction (MI). Clinical data and noninvasive test results (history of MI, electrocardiogram, and gated wall motion) will be used to distinguish defects which represent attenuation (false-positive) versus those due to MI (true-positive).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The overall comparisons of the agreement between conventional SPECT imaging and the GE Hawkeye system will be completed using McNemar's test.

    Measured: Measured/Compared at time of each scan.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Comparisons of categorical factors between the 2 tests will also be completed using McNemar's test, continuous factors will be completed using a paired t-test if the differences are normally distributed.

    Measured: Measured/Compared at time of study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing GE Attenuation Corrected Hawkeye Camera in people with Cardiac Disease, run by Mayo Clinic 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 1 inclusion and 8 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 Apr 2015. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Recruiting or enrolling participants has halted prematurely and will not resume.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

The overall comparisons of the agreement between conventional SPECT imaging and the GE Hawkeye system will be completed using McNemar's test. (time frame: Measured/Compared at time of each scan.). 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 Apr 2015.
