About this study

Official title: Feasibility of Detecting Myocardial Ischemia by First-pass Contrast MRI Using Regadenoson

This is a pilot study to determine whether the drug regadenoson can be used during magnetic resonance imaging to assess regions of poor blood flow to the heart.

The hypothesis of this study is that a single injection of regadenoson could be used instead of a standard adenosine infusion to produce coronary vasodilatation and demonstrate myocardial ischemia during first-pass perfusion cardiac MRI.

Read the detailed description

This is a pilot study that proposes to assess the feasibility of using regadenoson (Lexiscan, Astellas), a recently FDA approved A2A receptor agonist, as the stress perfusion agent in cardiac MRI perfusion examinations. While regadenoson has been approved by the FDA, it has not been approved for the specific indications of use 1) during the simultaneous intravenous administration of a gadolinium-based contrast agent, or 2) during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Because this agent can be given intravenously in a single 400 microgram bolus, rather than in an infusion, this agent may be easier to administer than adenosine during an MRI examination.

The objectives for this pilot study are: 1) To demonstrate the feasibility of using regadenoson during cardiac perfusion MRI to visualize known regions of myocardial ischemia as demonstrated on SPECT-MPI and 2) To describe a cardiac perfusion MRI protocol using regadenoson that would have the potential to be used clinically.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • RegadenosonDrug

    Also called Lexiscan

    Regadenoson 400 micrograms will be administered IV bolus via an antecubital cannula.

Study groups in NCT00881218
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Regadenoson CMRExperimentalImages in the cardiac short axis will be obtained using a gradient recalled echo sequence, TR 2.3 msec/TE 1.1 msec, 80*256 matrix, slice thickness 10 mm. Images will be obtained during power injection of 0.075 mmol/Kg of a conventional gadolinium based MR contrast agent at a rate of 5 mL/sec followed by a 15 mL saline flush into an antecubital vein. Perfusion imaging will be performed at stress and rest. Stress: Regadenoson 400 mcg will be administered IV bolus via an antecubital cannula. Immediately after injection, MR scanning will begin and contrast will be given. Rest: After 10 minutes, rest imaging will be performed identically, but without regadenoson injection. To identify late enhancement of myocardial tissue inversion recovery prepared images will be obtained.
Receives: Drug: Regadenoson

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Regadenoson in people with Ischemic Heart Disease, run by Washington University School of Medicine 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 5 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 10 Apr 2012. 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 phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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?

Feasibility of use of regadenoson during cardiac perfusion MRI to visualize regions of myocardial ischemia as demonstrated on SPECT-MPI. (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT00881218, which also lists 3 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 10 Apr 2012.
