About this study

Official title: Clinical Validation and Evaluation of ClarityIQ Cardiac Image Processing for Cardiac Angiography and Intervention

ClarityIQ is a novel X-ray imaging technology, that combines advanced real-time image noise reduction algorithms, with state-of-the-art hardware to reduce patient entrance dose significantly. This is realized by anatomy-specific optimization of the full acquisition chain (grid switch, beam filtering, pulse width, spot size, detector and image processing engine) for every clinical task individually. Furthermore, smaller focal spot sizes and shorter pulses are used, which are known to positively influence image quality . The final effect on the clinical image quality is investigated in this study.

Read the detailed description

Fluoroscopically guided procedures are associated with a risk of radiation injury to the skin, caused by high peak skin dose. The increasingly complex nature of many of the interventions performed requires the use of significant amounts of radiation for their completion. Of particular relevance to dose reduction concerns are obese patients, for whom additional radiation is often necessary to obtained sufficient diagnostic quality, as well as patients suffering from chronic total coronary occlusions (CTO), for whom long procedures with extended radiation time and contrast usage are common.

In order to introduce a dose reduction technology the most important aspect is to validate the diagnostic image information. Philips has developed a new algorithm that is capable to process images with similar image quality but acquired at lower dose.

What is being measured

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

  1. Image Quality

    Overall proportion where diagnostic image quality of ClarityIQ is scored equal or better compared to AlluraXper by the blinded readers. Reading is performed by simultaneous visual comparison of the image quality of AlluraXper and ClarityIQ by multiple blinded reviewers.The images are presented in a randomized order.

    The hypothesis is that the overall proportion where diagnostic image quality of ClarityIQ is scored equal or better is ≥ than 0.80. Combined for all raters, the lower bound of the one-sided 95% CI (lower bound of the two-sided 90% CI)is used.

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Radiation Dose Measurements: Dose Area Product (DAP)

    Percentage of change of ClarityIQ vs. AlluraXper in Dose Area Product (DAP) calculated by DAP/frame. Negative percentage means a reduction in dose for ClarityIQ vs. AlluraXper.

    Measured: Participants were followed for the duration of the procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Angiographic run with new algorithm and low dose (50% dose) and Angiographic run with predecessor algorithm and dose (100%) in people with Vascular Diseases, run by Philips Clinical & Medical Affairs Global at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 1 inclusion and 5 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 Mar 2022. 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 Netherlands. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Nov 2013). 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?

Image Quality (time frame: 1 day). 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 Mar 2022.
