About this study

Official title: Prognostic Value of Stress SPECT Myocardial Perfusion Imaging With Half Dose 99mTc-tetrofosmin

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the quality and prognostic ability of low dose 99mTc-tetrofosmin Myocardial Perfusion SPECT Imaging.

Read the detailed description

The objective of this study is to determine if myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) using a new SPECT reconstruction software and a low dose (LD) of 99mTC-tetrofosmin will provide equal quality and prognostic value as a full dose (FD) of 99mTc-tetrofosmin myocardial perfusion SPECT imaging methodology.

The images of clinical patients from the Diagnostic Imaging Department will be assessed and compared for image quality and myocardial perfusion. The outcomes of participants that have had FD studies will be compared to those who have had LD studies. Consented participants will be contacted and will be asked to provide information on their cardiovascular health since the date of their LD or FD scan, such as non fatal myocardial infarction, death, congestive heart failure, admission to hospital with chest pain, further cardiac diagnostic testing, including angiography and early and late revascularization. The event information will be tabulated at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months for the LD and FD studies.

The study hypothesizes that there will be no difference in the quality and prognostic value between the LD and FD 99mTc-tetrofosmin SPECT MPI imaging protocols. The study hypothesizes that there will be no increase in repeat diagnostic testing and angiography with using the LD imaging protocol.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cardiovascular Outcomes

    The primary objective is to compare the cardiovascular outcomes of participants that have had FD studies to those that have had LD studies. These cardiovascular outcomes include myocardial infarction, death, congestive heart failure, hospitalization with chest pain, further diagnostic testing, including angioplasty, and early and late revascularization.

    Measured: 15 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Disease, run by Ottawa Heart Institute Research Corporation at 1 site in Canada.

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 1 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 13 Apr 2017. 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 Canada. 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?

Cardiovascular Outcomes (time frame: 15 minutes). 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 13 Apr 2017.
