Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Liver and lung transplant candidates referred for coronary angiography.

Who may be able to join

  • Liver transplant candidates referred for invasive coronary angiography which include:
  • Patients with suspicious symptoms for CAD or;
  • Asymptomatic patients;

  • Lung transplant candidates referred for invasive coronary angiography which include:
  • Patients with suspicious symptoms for CAD or;

  • Asymptomatic patients;
  • Abnormal non-invasive testing or 1 major risk factor for coronary artery disease or LVEF < 60% on echo in patients with low SVR (typical for ESLD).
  • Any ethnic background is acceptable.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with contraindications for the use of iodinated contrast (allergic reaction, renal failure, multiple myeloma, etc) will be excluded.
  • Children and pregnant women will be excluded because of risks associated with radiation exposure.
  • Patients must have no atrial fibrillation, as this will interfere with cardiac gating for the examination.
  • Patients unable to give informed consent will be excluded as well.

About this study

Official title: Comparison of Coronary CT Angiography With Conventional Coronary Angiography in Liver and Lung Transplant Candidates.

The overall goal of this study is to determine if non-invasive imaging with state of the art CT coronary angiography can be used to screen for coronary artery disease in high risk patients prior to liver and lung transplantation. The current protocol for coronary artery disease assessment at UCSF before liver and lung transplantation involves screening with stress tests and/or coronary angiograms in patients with increased risk of coronary artery disease. Coronary angiogram will be used as gold standard for assessment of coronary CTA accuracy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease, run by University of California, San Francisco 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 9 inclusion and 4 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jul 2019. 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

patients suspected of having coronary artery disease (CAD) (time frame: 1-30 days before invasive coronary angiography is performed). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00727051, which also lists 10 linked publications.

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 22 Jul 2019.
