About this study

The purpose of this study is to assess the usability and safety of the Opsens OptoWire and Optomonitor in measuring fractional flow reserve (FFR) in patients with coronary artery disease who are undergoing a coronary angiogram.

Read the detailed description

Fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement involves determining the ratio between the maximum achievable blood flow in a diseased coronary artery and the theoretical maximum flow in a normal coronary artery. An FFR of 1.0 is widely accepted as normal. An FFR value lower than 0.75 - 0.80 is generally considered to be associated with myocardial ischemia (MI).

FFR is easily measured during routine coronary angiography by using a pressure wire to calculate the ratio between coronary pressure distal to a coronary artery stenosis and aortic pressure under conditions of maximum myocardial hyperemia. This ratio represents the potential decrease in coronary flow distal to the coronary stenosis.

Over the past decade, FFR measurement has been increasingly used in cardiac catheterization laboratories. It provides a quantitative assessment of the functional severity of a coronary artery stenosis identified during coronary angiography and cardiac catheterization.

Opsens, Inc. has developed a new pressure wire for use in determining FFR in coronary arteries; the OptoWire. The OptoWire is an instrumented guide wire with a fiber optic pressure sensor mounted 3.5 cm proximal to the tip. The Optowire measures blood pressure during diagnostic and/or interventional procedures when used in combination with the OptoMonitor.

The O2 study is a pilot study which aims to provide preliminary experience in human patients with coronary artery disease. The study data will also be used as part of design validation.

The O2 study is a prospective single arm study designed to assess the usability, functionality, and safety of the Optowire and Optomonitor in patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety and handling assessment of the Optowire

    1. Safely reach and cross a target lesion;
    2. perform an FFR measurement using the Optowire and Optomonitor according to the product user guide;
    3. disconnect the proximal connector on the OptoWire during the procedure, placing an interventional device (if necessary), and reconnecting the Optowire proximal connector;
    4. safely remove the Optowire from the coronary artery.

    Dedicated questionnaires will be used for such assessment

    Measured: Patients will be followed through removal of the OptoWire from percutaneous insertion site and completion of the cardiac catheterization procedure (expected average <1hr)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Comparison of FFR values measured with Optowire vs. with FFR guide wire used in standard practice

    In selected cases, the operator may choose to perform FFR measurements using currently approved FFR wires. Values obtained with standard FFR wires and Optowire may therefore be compared.

    Measured: Patients will be followed through removal of the OptoWire from percutaneous insertion site and completion of the cardiac catheterization procedure (expected average <1hr)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Fractional flow reserve measurement in people with Stable Angina and Unstable Angina Pectoris, run by Laval University 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 7 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 10 Jul 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 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?

Safety and handling assessment of the Optowire (time frame: Patients will be followed through removal of the OptoWire from percutaneous insertion site and completion of the cardiac catheterization procedure (expected average <1hr)). 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 10 Jul 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
