About this study

Official title: An In-state Multi-center Evaluation of Treadmill Exercise Stress Cardiac Magnetic Resonance

This study is being done to demonstrate a powerful new method for detecting heart disease that combines the proven prognostic capability of exercise stress testing with the superior image quality of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMR). The investigators hope to demonstrate that exercise CMR has equivalent or superior diagnostic accuracy compared to exercise stress SPECT for detecting obstructive artery disease.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Diagnostic Cardiac ImagingOther

    Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) offers superior image quality compared to echocardiography and nuclear imaging, and the ability to image both function and perfusion. Combining the superior image quality of CMR with the diagnostic information provided by exercise stress could result in a new, more accurate modality for diagnosing and evaluating coronary artery disease. This project is expected to show that CMR is at least equivalent to nuclear stress imaging and could potentially replace it in many instances, eliminating the need for radioisotope administration and the associated exposure of patients to ionizing radiation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Exercise stress CMR has equivalent or superior diagnostic and prognostic value compared to exercise stress nuclear scintigraphy in patients suspected of CAD (coronary artery disease)

    Exercise nuclear and CMR examinations including aggregate assessment of exercise parameters, ECG findings, myocardial perfusion, segmental left ventricular wall motion (CMR only), and viability will be independently reviewed offline by a consensus of two reviewers blinded to the results of the other imaging study, and each test will be classified as either negative/adequate stress, negative/inadequate stress, positive for ischemia, or fixed abnormality/no ischemia.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Diagnostic Cardiac Imaging in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Ohio State University at 3 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 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 27 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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.

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?

Exercise stress CMR has equivalent or superior diagnostic and prognostic value compared to exercise stress nuclear scintigraphy in patients suspected of CAD (coronary artery disease) (time frame: baseline). 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 NCT01592565, which also lists 4 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 27 Jan 2017.
