Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 21 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Cardiology Clinics

Who may be able to join

  • Patients who have had clinically indicated stress MPI with a low pre-test likelihood (0 - 15% ) of coronary disease based on the criteria of Diamond and Forrester.
  • Patients who have already had a clinically indicated stress MPI in the last three years with a low likelihood of having active coronary disease with no significantly narrowed coronary arteries.
  • Patients whose clinically indicated stress MPI demonstrates clear abnormalities and who are likely to go on to SCA for clinical indications.
  • If, after conventional and dynamic MPI some of these patients do not have SCA, they will still be followed for events for up to 3 years following participation in the protocol. To avoid delays and unnecessary procedures among patients in Group II who will have the dynamic imaging protocol studies after SCA, patients will be selected for protocol enlistment only if the decision is made by the patient's physician, based totally on clinical and social factors, that any considered revascularization intervention would not be performed on the day of diagnostic SCA and will be performed electively, at least 4 to 7 days later.
  • Patients found at SCA to have lesions of "borderline" clinical significance, preferably in the absence of other associated lesions.

Who cannot join

  • Cannot give informed consent
  • Unable or unwilling to return for a second stress imaging study
  • Cannot cooperate for adequate SPECT or PET supine and/or prone imaging
  • Pregnant females
  • Patients under 21 years old
  • Active bronchospasm - No theophylline for 48 hours prior to study
Show all 14Show fewer
  • Heart block more severe than Wenckebach block
  • Patients with uncomplicated infarction will not be included if they cannot have an exercise test later than 8 weeks of the event or a vasodilator pharmacologic stress test at least 24 hours or more after the event
  • Coronary bypass surgery within 8 weeks
  • Symptoms of congestive heart failure at rest
  • Has had an event or change in drug regimen since the initial stress test.
  • Has serious response to or side effect from initial clinical stress test induced ST elevation, hypotension, prolonged arrhythmia, bronchospasm.
  • Has had a clinical event since last coronary angiogram, angioplasty, or coronary surgery.
  • Has had 201Tl rest SPECT MPI prior to dynamic imaging

About this study

The investigators propose a 4 year prospective, observational study of 40 patients yearly, comparing conventional clinically indicated SPECT and PET perfusion with dynamic rest/stress MPI studies with coronary angiography, in some cases performed with quantitative coronary anatomy and flow as well as quantitative 13N-ammonia PET MPI. Methods will also be assessed for their ability to determine myocardial viability by comparing regional wall motion (WM) on clinically indicated serial ventriculography, echocardiography or gated SPECT MPI in those protocol patients with WM abnormalities who subsequently undergo revascularization. Patient studies will begin in the first study year based on those methods already developed and integrate new advances as they become evident.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT01934985
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group 1Patients scheduled to have clinically indicated stress MPI with low pre-test likelihood (0-15%) of coronary disease based on criteria of Diamond and Forrester. And those who have already had a clinical indicated stress MPI in the last three years with a low likelihood of having active coronary disease with no significantly narrowed coronary arteries.
Group IIPatients in Group II who will have the dynamic imaging protocol studies after SCA, patients will be selected for protocol enlistment only if the decision is made by the patient's physician, based totally on clinical and social factors, that any considered revascularization intervention would not be performed on the day of diagnostic selective coronary angiography (SCA) and will be performed electively, at least 4 to 7 days later. Viability will be assessed in these patients only in the presence of WM abnormalities, and with serial analysis of WM, as described above. Patients will be followed for death or infarction or other events more than 3 months after study, for up to 3 years following participation in the protocol.
Group IIIPatients found at SCA to have lesions of "borderline" clinical significance, preferably in the absence of other associated lesions.
Group IVPatients who were diagnosed with advanced heart failure including patients who had or will have cardiac resynchonization therapy (CRT) or a heart transplant.

What is being measured

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

  1. Coronary Flow Reserve

    The coronary flow reserve will be measured by comparing the rest and stress exams on the dynamic SPECT scans using developed algorithms. The accuracy will be compared with clinical PET, coronary angiography, and clinical SPECT.

    Measured: Length of procedure- 90 min

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease, run by University of California, San Francisco at 1 site 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 5 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 9 Aug 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 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?

Coronary Flow Reserve (time frame: Length of procedure- 90 min). 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 9 Aug 2022.
