About this study

Official title: Comparison of StentOptimizer - an Angiography-based Post Deployment Stent Analysis Application With IntraVenous Ultrasound and 2D Quantitative Coronary Angiography for Post Deployment Stent Analysis

The primary objective of this study is to determine the diagnostic efficiency and accuracy of using the StentOptimizer. The ability of StentOptimizer to influence post deployment treatment strategy will be assessed and compared to the IVUS system. In addition, the correlation of diameter measurements between the StentOptimizer, IVUS and 2D QCA will be assessed. The StentOptimizer software, IVUS and 2D QCA were all part of the clinical procedure outside the study. The analysis of post deployment treatment decisions and diameter measurements using those modalities retrospectively make this an observational study.

Read the detailed description

Stent under-expansion is defined as the minimum stent area by itself or compared with a predefined reference. It plays a role in the pathogenesis of adverse events following stent deployment. Stent under-expansion has been a consistent finding in IVUS reports of acute or subacute BMS or DES thrombosis.

Post intervention imaging can determine whether there is adequate stent expansion. Currently the only available tool for evaluation of properness of stent deployment is intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). IVUS procedure is invasive, labor intensified, associated with radiation and contrast media use, and is not free of complications. In many medical centers, IVUS is not used routinely because of lack of knowledge and expertise in reading it, and it's relatively high price.

The StentOptimizer is an angiography based software tool aimed to enhance visualization of deployed stents and to provide the physician with quantitative data regarding stent dimensions. The StentOptimizer is part of an image acquisition and processing software system (IC-Pro), designed as an add-on to conventional X-ray angiography systems.

An enhanced stent image is produced using the radiopaque markers of the delivery balloon from several frames (minimum 20). The result is a still image of the stent with enhanced edges and the region of interest around it

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Stent deployment evaluationThe study group consisted of patients that underwent IVUS guided stent implantation. Stent deployment evaluation was done with the experimental StentOptimizer as well as IVUS and QCA.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Accuracy (Percent of Correct Decisions) of Post-dilatation Decisions Based on the Stent Optimizer (SO) Software, With IVUS as Gold Standard.

    IVUS was used as a gold standard to decide if a stent required post dilatation or not. Independently and blindly, The SO software was used to determine the same decisions. The accuracy of SO was determined as the percentage of correct decisions compared to the gold standard.

    Measured: On the procedure day

  2. The Accuracy (Percent of Correct Decisions) of Post-dilatation Decisions Based on QCA Analysis, With IVUS as Gold Standard.

    IVUS was used as a gold standard to decide if a stent required post dilatation or not. Independently and blindly, QCA analysis was used to determine the same decisions. The accuracy of SO was determined as the percentage of correct decisions compared to the gold standard.

    Measured: On procedure day

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Correlation of Stent Diameter Measurements Between the StentOptimizer and IVUS .

    The mean difference between stent diameter measurements at the narrowest point (Minimum Stent Diameter) by SO and by IVUS.

    Measured: On day of procedure

  2. Correlation of Stent Diameter Measurements Between the QCA and IVUS .

    The mean difference between stent diameter measurements at the narrowest point (Minimum Stent Diameter) by QCA and by IVUS

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease, run by Paieon Inc. 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 4 inclusion and 3 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 11 Apr 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Apr 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 Accuracy (Percent of Correct Decisions) of Post-dilatation Decisions Based on the Stent Optimizer (SO) Software, With IVUS as Gold Standard. (time frame: On the procedure day). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 11 Apr 2014.
