About this study

Official title: Investigation of a Molecular Personalized Coronary Gene Expression Test on Cardiology Practice Pattern

To investigate whether the use of Corus CAD (Age/Sex/Gene Expression score - ASGES) blood assay changes the diagnostic testing pattern in patients referred to a cardiologist for the evaluation of chest pain or anginal equivalent symptoms.

Read the detailed description

A prospective cohort of 88 subjects receiving the Corus CAD (Age/Sex/Gene Expression score - ASGES) assay were compared to a retrospective cohort of 83 subjects that did not receive the assay.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Prospective CohortPatient presenting with chest pain or anginal equivalent and receiving a resulted age, sex and gene expression score (ASGES) to assist in diagnosis.

Retrospective CohortPatients presenting with chest pain or anginal equivalent who did not receive an age, sex and gene expression score (ASGES) to assist in diagnosis. Note: this cohort was historical.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in management practice pattern between preliminary and after Corus CAD (ASGES) decision

    Change in management pattern comparing the preliminary and after Corus CAD (ASGES) decision will be measured by the number of subjects with medical management downgrade or upgrade within the following predefined categories:

    1. No further cardiac testing or treatment
    2. Medical therapy for angina or non-cardiac chest pain
    3. Stress testing with or without imaging
    4. CT angiography
    5. Invasive cardiac catheterization

    Measured: Up to 7 days

  2. Change in management practice pattern between after Corus CAD decision and historical cohort.

    Change in management pattern comparing the Corus CAD (ASGES) driven decision and the historical cohort ill be measured by the number of subjects with medical management downgrade or upgrade within the following predefined categories:

    1. No further cardiac testing or treatment
    2. Medical therapy for angina or non-cardiac chest pain
    3. Stress testing with or without imaging
    4. CT angiography
    5. Invasive cardiac catheterization

    Measured: up to 195 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Angina Pectoris and Coronary Artery Disease, run by CardioDx 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 2 inclusion and 14 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 31 Jan 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 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?

Change in management practice pattern between preliminary and after Corus CAD (ASGES) decision (time frame: Up to 7 days). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01251302, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 31 Jan 2019.
