About this study

Official title: Integrated Dual Exercise and Lexiscan PET: IDEAL PET

This is a single-center study of subjects undergoing clinically indicated heart scans for evaluation of known or suspected heart disease. We will also include 10 healthy subjects without known heart disease. We would like to study stress testing of the heart using exercise and a medication called regadenoson. Imaging of the heart will be performed.

Read the detailed description

Regadenoson is stress agent approved by the FDA for use with myocardial perfusion imaging with technetium-99m single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in patients that are unable to exercise adequately. We would like to study Regadenoson in conjunction with Exercise Rubidium-82 positron emission tomography myocardial perfusion imaging (PET MPI). Regadenoson is not approved by FDA for use with Rubidium-82 PET MPI. Also, we would like to study a novel stress protocol of Regadenoson combined with symptom limited exercise stress (not FDA approved).

The objectives of this study are to assess the tolerability and safety of combined symptom limited exercise stress test with Lexiscan (Lexercise PET) compared to Lexiscan alone (Lexiscan PET), to assess image quality of Lexercise compared to Lexiscan PET and to compare relative and absolute myocardial perfusion imaging with Lexercise compared to Lexiscan PET to identify CAD.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety and Tolerability of Combined Exercise and Regadenoson Stress

    1. Count of subjects with ischemic ECG changes is reported
    2. Count of subjects with systolic blood pressure decrease > 20 mm Hg is reported
    3. Count of subjects with abnormal serum troponin T levels is reported
    4. Radiation dose to the staff will be measured using personal dosimeters after the Lexiscan as well as the Lexercise PET study.

    Measured: Day of the research scan during the stress test

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Image Quality: Heart to Liver Ratio of Counts

    Sub-diaphragmatic activity: Heart to Liver Ratio was measured on the rubidium-82 and N-13 ammonia scans. Since this measure is a ratio it has no units. Mean and Standard Deviation of Ratio is reported for each group.

    This was measured on the clinical scan and on the research scan which were performed about 2 weeks apart in most subjects.

    Measured: Week 1 (day of the clinical scan), and Week 2 (day of the research scan)

  2. Changes in Left Ventricular Function With Dual Exercise and Regadenoson PET

    Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at stress was measured at Stress scan 1 (regadenoson) and Stress scan 2 (regadenoson or exercise + regadenoson).

    This was measured on the clinical scan and on the research scan which were performed about 2 weeks apart in most subjects.

    Measured: Week 1 (day of the clinical scan), and Week 2 (day of the research scan)

  3. Peak Stress Myocardial Blood Flow

    Myocardial Blood Flow Measured at Peak Hyperemia With Regadenoson or Immediately After Exercise + Regadenoson This was measured on the clinical scan and on the research scan which were performed about 2 weeks apart in most subjects.

    Measured: Week 1 (day of the clinical scan), and Week 2 (day of the research scan)

A Phase 4 study testing Exercise plus Regadenoson (Lexercise) and Regadenoson (Lexiscan) in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Brigham and Women's Hospital 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 5 inclusion and 11 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 Oct 2018. 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?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Oct 2018). 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?

Safety and Tolerability of Combined Exercise and Regadenoson Stress (time frame: Day of the research scan during the stress test). 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 NCT01109992, which also lists 6 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 25 Oct 2018.
