About this study

Official title: Stress Thallium-201/Rest Technetium-99m Sequential Dual Isotope High-Speed Myocardial Perfusion Imaging Validation Versus Invasive Coronary Angiography

The new cadmium-zinc-telluride (CZT) technology is a powerful tool for cardiac nuclear medicine. The increased photon counting sensitivity of camera can be used to explore novel protocols like dual isotope (rapid stress Tl-201/rest Tc-99m protocol for use with high-speed SPECT MPI). The use of dual isotope imaging is very interesting because this imaging combines the use of thallium-201 with technetium-99m agents permitting optimal image resolution and simultaneous assessment of viability, all with an exam duration of approximately 20 minutes. However, no study compares stress thallium-201/rest technetium-99m sequential dual isotope high-speed myocardial perfusion imaging versus invasive coronary angiography. The investigators report here the first validation of high-speed protocol with dual isotope for myocardial perfusion imaging using invasive coronary angiography as the standard of reference.

Read the detailed description

The new cadmium-zinc-telluride (CZT) technology is a powerful tool for cardiac nuclear medicine. Indeed, recent clinical validation studies of CZT technology have documented a scan time reduction and low radiation dose without degradation of myocardial perfusion imaging in comparison with standard dual detector cameras. The increased photon counting sensitivity of camera can be used to explore novel protocols that may offer advantages over standard protocols used for Myocardial Perfusion Imaging. Berman et al. showed that rapid stress Tl-201/rest Tc-99m protocol for use with high-speed SPECT MPI has offered the superior qualities of Tl-201 for stress imaging and of the Tc-99m agents for rest imaging can be preserved. Nuclear medicine presents the most level of scientific validation for diagnosis and prognosis of coronary artery disease. A lot of studies have compared performance of standard dual detector cameras vs. Invasive Coronary Angiography. Fiechter et al. reported the first validation of ultrafast dedicated cardiac gamma camera with CZT versus invasive coronary angiography. But he used a novel hybrid SPECT /CT device and 99m-Tc-tetrofosmin pharmacological stress/rest examination. However, no study compares stress thallium-201/rest technetium-99m sequential dual isotope high-speed myocardial perfusion imaging versus invasive coronary angiography. Moreover, diagnosis performance of this high-speed protocol versus fractional flow reserve for stenosis evaluation is unknown.

The investigators report here the first validation of high-speed protocol with dual isotope for myocardial perfusion imaging using invasive procedures (coronary angiography and fractional flow reserve) as the standard of reference.

What participants receive

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

  • coronary angiographyProcedure or surgery

    Also called Coronary angiography = using standard techniques (Philips Allura Xper FD10, Philips Healthcare), Pressure wire = Certus; St. Jude Medical, St. Paul, Minnesota, FFR by using RadiAnalyzer =St. Jude Medical, St. Paul, Minnesota), intravenous adenosine = ADENOSCAN 30mg/10ml S perf IV 6Fl/10ml (Sanofi-Aventis France)

    A 6 French arterial sheath was introduced into the radial artery. After administration of 5000 U heparin, the guiding catheter was advanced into the coronary ostium. Intracoronary nitroglycerin 0.2 mg was administered, and reference images were made. Significant CAD was defined as presentation of a stenosis ≥70 % in the three-epicardial vessels and ≥ 50 % in left main coronary disease. If necessary (at the discretion of the practitioner) the pressure wire was advanced across the stenosis, and Fractional flow reserve (FFR) was measured.

What is being measured

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

  1. Accuracy, positive and negative predictive value of Stress Thallium-201/Rest Technetium-99m Sequential Dual Isotope High-Speed Myocardial Perfusion Imaging to detect coronary artery disease

    Diagnostic performance of Stress Thallium-201/Rest Technetium-99m Sequential Dual Isotope High-Speed Myocardial Perfusion Imaging to detect coronary artery disease is evaluated vs. coronary angiography.

    Significant CAD was defined as presentation of a stenosis ≥70 % in the three-epicardial vessels and ≥ 50 % in left main coronary disease in coronary angiography.

    In CZT SPECT, The global summed stress score (SSS) summed rest score (SRS) and summed difference score (SDS) were calculated by adding the scores of the 17 segments in the stress and rest images, respectively. Significant ischemia is defined by SSS >4.

    Analyze is performed per patients, per segments, and per vessels.

    Measured: 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing coronary angiography in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by University Hospital, Grenoble at 1 site in France.

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 4 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 28 May 2015. 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 France. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Accuracy, positive and negative predictive value of Stress Thallium-201/Rest Technetium-99m Sequential Dual Isotope High-Speed Myocardial Perfusion Imaging to detect coronary artery disease (time frame: 2 months). 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 NCT01785589, 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 28 May 2015.
