About this study

Official title: Dual Source Computed Tomography (DSCT) During Injection of Dipyridamole : a New Technique for Myocardial Ischemia Assessment

The goal of this study is to evaluate the ability of MDCT under stress to assess myocardial ischemia. There is some preliminary data in the literature showing the ability of MDCT under stress to bring relevant information about myocardial ischemia. Stress MDCT will have several advantages over single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging namely: shorter acquisition time, lower irradiation dose, lower cost. The feasibility of such experiment is still debated and need to be address in a clinical study.

Read the detailed description

Hypothesis: Cardiac dual source computed tomography (DSCT) performed during dipyridamole infusion allows for 1) myocardial perfusion analysis and detection of myocardial ischemia and 2) good quality evaluation (artefact free) of the coronary artery anatomy. Cardiac DSCT during dipyridamole infusion may assess in a single volume acquisition relevant information about coronary anatomy and myocardial ischemia that required today two different examinations each with a cost and side effects. Recently investigators showed on animal models as well as in humans that MDCT during stress test could detect myocardial ischemia.

Purposes: 1) To evaluate the diagnostic potential sensitivity, specificity of coronary DSCT during dipyridamole infusion for the assessment of myocardial ischemia with myocardial single photon emission computed topography (SPECT) as standard of reference. 2) To evaluate the feasibility (presence of artefact, number of coronary segment assessable) of coronary DSCT during dipyridamole injection.

Methods: This prospective study will include patients referred from the department of cardiology of Nord hospital. Inclusion criteria will be: patients who required functional evaluation of a known coronary artery lesion. Patients will be successively include. Each patient will undergo myocardial SPECT and coronary DSCT during dipyridamole injection. Coronary DSCT image analysis will determine the severity and the extension of the ischemic territory. Statistical analysis will determine the reproductibility of the described technique, compared the DSCT with SPECT as standard of reference and determined sensitivity, specificity and predictive values (positive and negative) of the described technique.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing coronary dual source computed tomography (DSCT) and myocardial single photon emission computed topography (SPECT) in people with Coronary Artery Lesion, run by Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille at 1 site in France.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Feb 2014. 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 France. 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 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?

To evaluate the diagnostic potential sensitivity, specificity of coronary DSCT during dipyridamole infusion for the assessment of myocardial ischemia with myocardial single photon emission computed topography (SPECT) as standard of reference. (time frame: 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 25 Feb 2014.
