Trial summary

Lowering the per-infusion dose of Rb-82 offers advantages of lessening radiation exposure and extending useable generator life. Prior studies have not shown equivalence of 3D vs 2D Rb-82 PET. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Direct Comparison of 2D Cardiac PET With 3D Cardiac PET Using a 3D Monte-Carlo Scatter COrrection Algorithm

Lowering the per-infusion dose of Rb-82 offers advantages of lessening radiation exposure and extending useable generator life. Prior studies have not shown equivalence of 3D vs 2D Rb-82 PET. The investigators therefore compare 3D PET after a lower Rb-82 dose (~20 mCi) processed using a Monte-Carlo driven scatter correction algorithm against conventional higher dosage (~50 mCi) 2D Rb-82 PET MPI.

Read the detailed description

This study re-examines 2D an 3D myocardial perfusion PET data from 19 subjects, mean age 65 years, mean BMI 30 kg/m2, 79% male. Rest and stress scans were acquired on a Siemens Accel™ PET scanner in 2D (septa extended) and 3D (septa retracted) modes. Rb-82 doses were rest 53+/-5 mCi and stress 53+/-6 mCi. Imaging times were 2D emission scan for 3 mins (90 sec delay post Rb-82 infusion), followed by a 3 minute, 3D gated emission scan (180 sec delay). Decay and shorter acquisition times led to a 62% reduction in the effective dosage 2D vs 3D datasets. 3D images were first pre-processed using a Monte-Carlo scatter and prompt gamma correction algorithm (Imagen3D™) then reconstructed using ImagenProTM (CVIT, Kansas City, MO). Reconstructed images were evaluated using relative, 17 segment raw scores (Cedars QPET). Studies were read by consensus of 2-blinded readers for: image quality (1-4, poor-excellent), interpretive certainty (1-3, low-high) and rest perfusion using a 17 segment model (0=normal; 1-3 = mild, moderate, or severe perfusion defects). Stress segmental scores were not evaluated due to differences in imaging start time post dipyridamole infusion.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Single CohortPopulation: 19 subjects, mean age 65 years, mean BMI 30 kg/m2, 79% male. Radionuclide Dosage: Rb-82 doses were rest 53+/-5 mCi and stress 53+/-6 mCi All were stress with Dipyridamole.

What is being measured

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

  1. Quantitative Accuracy

    To establish the quantitative accuracy of reconstructed volumes using Imagen3DTM when compared to other methods.

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Visual Assessment

    To establish that visual assessments of image quality and reader confidence using 3D data are equivalent to the other methods.

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease, run by Cardiovascular Imaging Technologies 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 3 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 25 Nov 2013. 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?

Quantitative Accuracy (time frame: 1 day). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 25 Nov 2013.
