Trial summary

Among the current myocardial CT perfusion techniques, dynamic CT perfusion technique is most advantageous in obtaining information on myocardial blood flow and volume. However, dynamic CT perfusion technique involves higher radiation dose than static CT techniques. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Adenosine-induced Stress Myocardial Perfusion Imaging With Dual-source 128-slice CT: a Study on the Comparison of Diagnostic Performance of Dynamic Scanning Protocols

Among the current myocardial CT perfusion techniques, dynamic CT perfusion technique is most advantageous in obtaining information on myocardial blood flow and volume. However, dynamic CT perfusion technique involves higher radiation dose than static CT techniques. Patients have to take a breath hold during 30 seconds with current dynamic CT perfusion protocol. If patients cannot hold their breath, anterior or inferior myocardium might be excluded due to limited scan coverage of a 128-slice dual-source CT scanner.

Reduction of scanning duration of dynamic CT perfusion may not only reduce radiation exposure, but also make patients more comfortable. Therefore, the investigators intended to propose a modified scan protocol with shorter scan duration and compare diagnostic accuracy of a modified scan protocol with the current scan protocol.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to compare the diagnostic performance of adenosine-stress dynamic myocardial CT perfusion using a reduced dynamic scan duration with perfusion protocol of 30-second scan duration for the detection of myocardial perfusion defect and significant coronary artery stenosis.

This trial is a single center, prospective, randomized trial designed to compare diagnostic performances and radiation doses between two protocols with 30-second or 21-second dynamic scan durations. A total of 120 symptomatic patients will be randomized to dynamic CT perfusion protocols with 30-second or 21-second scan duration. They will also undergo 1.5-T MRI and invasive coronary angiography as reference standards for the assessment of myocardial perfusion and coronary artery stenosis. The primary end point of the study is to compare diagnostic performances between two CT protocols of dynamic CT perfusion. The secondary endpoint of this study is to compare radiation doses and image qualities of two scan protocols.

What is being measured

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

  1. AUC (area under the curve) of CT perfusion for detection of perfusion defects : 30-second scanning protocol versus 21-second scanning protocol

    There were no significant differences in the diagnostic performances between two CTP protocols with different scan duration.

    Measured: When all randomized patients underwent CT scanning (A total of 120 symptomatic patients will be randomized to dynamic CT perfusion protocols with 30-second or 21-second scan duration.)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Effective radiation dose for each component of the CT examination is calculated as the product of the dose-length product multiplied by a conversion coefficient of 0.014 (mSv/[mGycm]).

    CTP with shorter scan duration resulted in a 23% reduction of radiation dose compared with 30-second scan protocol

    Measured: up to 1 week after each patient underwent CT scanning

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Myocardial CT perfusion in people with Myocardial Ischemia, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 21 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 6 Dec 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 South Korea. 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?

AUC (area under the curve) of CT perfusion for detection of perfusion defects : 30-second scanning protocol versus 21-second scanning protocol (time frame: When all randomized patients underwent CT scanning (A total of 120 symptomatic patients will be randomized to dynamic CT perfusion protocols with 30-second or 21-second scan duration.)). 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 6 Dec 2017.
