About this study

Official title: A Familiarization and Safety Study of Myocardial Perfusion Contrast Echocardiography With PB127 Ultrasound Contrast Agent in Patients With Suspected Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease

The purpose of this study is to evaluate preparation and administration of PB127, echocardiographic images obtained during PB127 administration, and evaluate the safety of PB127.

Read the detailed description

The primary objectives of this clinical trial are:

  1. To train potential Phase 3 investigational sites in the preparation and andministration of PB127
  2. To train potential Phase 3 investigational sites in the acquisition of adequate images
  3. To collect additional safety information regarding intravenous administration of PB127
  4. To obtain a larger sample of images obtained with the Acuson Sequoia ultrasound system.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing PB127 for injectable suspension in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Point Biomedical at 34 sites 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 37 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jul 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 34 sites 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Technical adequacy and diagnostic quality of PB127 images (time frame: 24 hours). 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 3 Jul 2008.
