About this study

Official title: Regadenoson Stress Real-Time Myocardial Perfusion Echocardiography for Detection of Coronary Artery Disease Feasibility and Accuracy of Two Different Ultrasound Contrast Agents

The purpose if this study is to examine how effective Regadenoson is in detecting coronary artery disease during a stress echocardiogram when Optison is administered. Optison is a contrast agent that improves the images of the heart on the echocardiogram (echo) machine. Optison is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to use during stress echocardiograms. Regadenoson is a commercially available rapid acting stress agent that is used to chemically increase the heart rate and is approved for nuclear imaging tests. Regadenoson is a FDA approved drug but not for the intended use in this study.

Read the detailed description

Stress perfusion imaging has primarily been done with radionuclide scintigraphy or single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and has not reached its full clinical potential because of the poor spatial resolution of SPECT, increased expense of this procedure, patient exposure to ionizing radiation, and lack of availability. The A2A receptor agonist Regadenoson has been utilized to detect myocardial perfusion abnormalities during SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging.

A 100 patient pilot study (Regadenoson Real Time Perfusion Imaging Trial, IRB #566-08-FB) demonstrated the feasibility and accuracy of real-time perfusion echocardiography (RTPE) in detecting coronary artery disease following Regadenoson bolus injection and Definity as an ultrasound contrast agent. The aim of this study is to determine whether similar feasibility and accuracy can be achieved with Optison (a Food and Drug Administration approved ultrasound contrast agent that differs slightly in microbubble size and composition) in detecting coronary artery disease (CAD) following Regadenoson bolus injection. As with the original study, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of perfusion and wall motion analysis to identify a coronary stenosis >50% in diameter by quantitative angiography will be analyzed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Regadenoson; Optison in people with Coronary Artery Disease and Myocardial Perfusion Abnormalities, run by University of Nebraska at 2 sites 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 7 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 8 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 30 Dec 2022). 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?

Number of Participants With Coronary Stenosis (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 8 Oct 2024.
