About this study

Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is an established invasive method for assessing the physiological significance of coronary artery stenosis. However, in recent studies it has been observed and reported some degree of variation in the fraction of the coronary artery to the aortic pressure (Pd / Pa) during the infusion of standard adenosine dose (140mg/kg/min). The observed variation may be attributed to a failure to achieve maximal hyperemia with the normal dose. The administration of adenosine at a higher dose (200μg/kg /min) may influence coronary flow reserve (FFR) eliminating Pd / Pa variation during adenosine infusion.

This is a prospective study which will be conducted in patients after coronary angiography with at least one angiographic lesion ≥50% in coronary vessels.

Patients after written consent will undergo assessment of lesion severity with FFR under a three-minute infusion of adenosine 140mg/kg/min. In patients during steady state hyperaemia (determined by visual assessment) exhibiting variation in Pd / Pa ratio ≥ 0.05 (e.g. difference of max Pd/Pa minus min Pd/Pa) the examination will be repeated after 5 min with three-minute infusion under high dose adenosine (200mg/kg/min). The minimum ratio Pd/Pa per 3 beats will be offline analyzed. The FFR during steady hyperemia state is defined as the average of the minimum ratio Pd / Pa per three beats.

  2. Coefficient of variation of Pd / Pa ratio during steady state hyperemia between the 2 groups

    Measured: 10 minutes

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. FFR value as determined by the software, between the 2 groups.

    Measured: 10 minutes

  2. FFR during steady state hyperemia.

    Measured: 10 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Adenosine infusion at 200μg/Kg/min in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by University of Patras at 1 site in Greece.

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 10 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 Jan 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 Greece. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Difference between the maximum and minimum value of Pd / Pa ratio during steady state hyperaemia between the 2 groups. (time frame: 10 minutes). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02350439, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Jan 2017.
