About this study

Official title: Registry Using IVUS and iMAP to Evaluate Atherosclerotic Coronary Plaque in Acute Coronary Syndromes

The iWONDER trial has the following objective:

To analyze the morphological, phenotypic and tissue characteristics of atherosclerotic plaques angiographically considered "culprit" and "not-culprit" in patients undergoing coronary angiography due to STEMI (ST-elevation myocardial infarction).

Read the detailed description

Coronary artery angiography (CA) is a two-dimensional silhouette of the arterial lumen from a complex three dimensional vascular structure. This exam has several limitations already well documented, including shortening of the vessel, overlapping images, intra and inter-observer variability during the consideration of the severity of injuries. Besides, it offers great limitations in the diagnosis of the composition of atherosclerotic plaque. Furthermore, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) provides a sensitive and reproducible measure of the dimensions of the vessel and allows direct visualization of the vessel wall, atherosclerotic plaque and arterial lumen. The utility of grayscale IVUS as prognostic tool and as a guide in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) is well established. More recently, IVUS has also provided new insights for safety and efficacy of drug eluting stent (DES).

Advances in technology now allow IVUS to characterize the morphology and composition of plaques. Specifically, the analysis of the IVUS wave frequency - beyond the interpretation of wave lengths used in grayscale IVUS- enables in vivo analysis of atherosclerotic plaque composition with high sensitivity and specificity. Although previous studies have reported data using IVUS radiofrequency analysis, the use of a new modality (iMapTM, Boston Scientific, Santa Clara, CA, USA) for characterization of atherosclerotic plaque is poorly known.

What is being measured

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

  1. Atherosclerotic plaque composition

    Atherosclerotic plaque composition of "culprit" and "non-culprit" lesions will be evaluated using grayscale IVUS and iMAP analysis in patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome.

    Measured: Patients will be followed during in-hospital period, an expect average of 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing iMAP in people with Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by Federal University of São Paulo at 1 site in Brazil.

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 3 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 1 Jul 2016. 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 Brazil. 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?

Atherosclerotic plaque composition (time frame: Patients will be followed during in-hospital period, an expect average of 7 days). 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 1 Jul 2016.
