Trial summary

This is a pilot study in a patient population with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) as defined by the presence of a prior abnormal nuclear (PET/SPECT) myocardial perfusion scan. In this study design, PET/SPECT will serve as the comparative standard for presence of myocardial ischemia. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Artifact-Free High-resolution Myocardial Perfusion MRI in Subjects With Abnormal Nuclear Myocardial Perfusion Studies

This is a pilot study in a patient population with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) as defined by the presence of a prior abnormal nuclear (PET/SPECT) myocardial perfusion scan. In this study design, PET/SPECT will serve as the comparative standard for presence of myocardial ischemia. We intend to determine the accuracy of an improved magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique for detection of myocardial ischemia in subjects with suspected CAD.

This is not a study to specifically evaluate the efficacy or safety of the drugs but rather the diagnostic performance of the improved cardiac MRI procedure.

Read the detailed description

A total of two imaging protocols will be used as "protocol options" in this study (only one of the protocols will be used for each enrolled subject): (1) "Two-day protocol," which involves MRI of subjects who have had a recent abnormal PET/SPECT study and includes an optional second-day visit; (2) "One-day protocol," which involves the subjects undergoing stress myocardial perfusion SPECT and MRI in the same day.

Two blinded readers will interpret MR and SPECT/PET studies by consensus to assess the presence of perfusion deficits at stress and rest.

What participants receive

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

  • regadenosonDrug

    Also called Lexiscan®

    Lexiscan® is being used off-label. The FDA Issued IND # is 119898. For the cardiac MRI, Lexiscan® will be used at the same dosage and administration as prescribed in the package insert - 5 mL (0.4 mg regadenoson) as packaged and supplied by the manufacturer, Astellas Pharma U.S., in single-use pre-filled syringes administered by rapid intravenous injection, followed immediately by saline flush.

  • Optimark®Drug

    Also called gadoversetamide, gadolinium, MRI contrast agent, gadolinium contrast

    For the cardiac MR, the contrast agent, Optimark® is administered as a bolus peripheral intravenous injection at a dose of 0.2 mL/kg (0.1 mmol/kg) and at a rate of 1 to 2 mL/sec delivered by manual injection.

  • Myocardial perfusion MRIDevice

    Also called magnetic resonance imaging, ischemia, cardiac blood flow, perfusion

Study groups in NCT01949844
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Suspected coronary artery disease (CAD)OtherThis pilot study has a single arm/group of subjects with suspected CAD based on the following inclusion criteria: 1. Prior nuclear myocardial perfusion scan (PET/SPECT) with a visual interpretation of definitely abnormal, or prior myocardial infarction; or, 2. Clinically stable individuals with suspected coronary artery disease on the basis of coronary angiography. The study protocol involved only a myocardial perfusion MRI procedure for detection of ischemia (perfusion deficits) using an improved protocol with the administration of a vasodilator drug (Regadenoson/Lexiscan®) and gadolinium-based MRI contrast agent (Optimark®; dose: 0.2 mmol/kg). Lexiscan® was used off-label as a vasodilator drug during the MRI scan (0.4 mg/5mL) supplied by the manufacturer, Astellas Pharma U.S.
Receives: Drug: regadenoson; Drug: Optimark®; Device: Myocardial perfusion MRI

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnostic Performance (Specificity and Sensitivity) for Detection of Myocardial Perfusion Deficits on Magnetic Resonance (MR) Images

    In this study, the approach is to use nuclear myocardial perfusion (prior PET/SPECT scans for the enrolled patients) as the comparative standard for detection of myocardial ischemia (presence of perfusion deficits). Using this approach, the acquired MR images will be analyzed to determine the diagnostic performance (specificity and sensitivity) of the improved MRI technique for detection of myocardial perfusion deficits.

    Measured: Baseline only

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing regadenoson, Optimark® and Myocardial perfusion MRI in people with Coronary Artery Disease and CAD, run by Daniel S. Berman 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 2 inclusion and 8 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 20 Aug 2018. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Jun 2018). 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?

Diagnostic Performance (Specificity and Sensitivity) for Detection of Myocardial Perfusion Deficits on Magnetic Resonance (MR) Images (time frame: Baseline only). 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 20 Aug 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
