About this study

Official title: Evaluating the Diagnostic Accuracy of 18F-sodium Fluoride Positron Emission Tomography for Identification of High-risk Vulnerable Coronary Atherosclerotic Plaque in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease

Recently, positron emission tomography(PET) using 18F-Sodium fluoride (NaF) showed promising results for detecting vulnerable plaques in some pilot studies.

In this study, the investigators will evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of 18F-NaF PET for non-invasively detecting vulnerable plaque, diagnosed by optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Read the detailed description

It has been well known that mechanism of acute coronary syndrome is plaque rupture and occlusion of coronary artery by this plaque rupture. Until now, evaluation of vulnerable plaque have been mainly performed with invasive imaging modalities such as optical coherence tomography or intravascular ultrasound.

Recently, positron emission tomography(PET) using 18F-Sodium fluoride (NaF) showed promising results for detecting vulnerable plaques in some pilot studies.

In this study, we will evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of 18F-NaF PET for non-invasively detecting vulnerable plaque, diagnosed by optical coherence tomography (OCT).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT02388412
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Vulnerable plaque in optical coherence tomogrpahyOCT-derived vulnerable plaque is defined as composite of thin-cap fibrous atheroma (cap thickness in optical coherence tomography < 60um), prominent macrophage, or prominent microvessels.
Non-vulnerable plaque in Optical coherence tomogrpahyOCT-derived vulnerable plaque is defined as composite of thin-cap fibrous atheroma (cap thickness in optical coherence tomography < 60um), prominent macrophage, or prominent microvessels. OCT-derived non-vulnerable plaque is defined as a plaque without any of the findings

What is being measured

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

  1. Difference of tissue background ratio measured by 18F-NaF PET between Vulnerable and non-vulnerable plaque

    Difference of tissue background ratio measured by 18F-NaF PET between Vulnerable and non-vulnerable plaque

    Measured: up to 1 week

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Differencce of Maximum SUV value between Vulnerable and non-vulnerable plaque

    Tissue-to-background ratios were calculated for each participant by dividing the maximal SUV measured in aortic valves by the mean SUV of blood in inferior vena cava

    Measured: up to 1 week

  2. Number of participants demonstrating at least 1 low-attenuation coronary atherosclerotic plaque

    Number of participants demonstrating at least 1 low-attenuation coronary atherosclerotic plaque

    Measured: up to 1 week

  3. Cardiac death and all-cause mortality

    Between High-TBR and Low-TBR Plaque

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Non-fatal target vessel myocardial infarction

    Between High-TBR and Low-TBR Plaque

    Measured: 1 year

  5. Target vessel revascularization

    Between High-TBR and Low-TBR Plaque

    Measured: 1 year

  6. Target vessel restenosis

    Between High-TBR and Low-TBR Plaque

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by Seoul National University Hospital 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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Feb 2016. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Bon-Kwon Koo, MD, PhD (82-2-2072-2062, bkkoo@snu.ac.kr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Difference of tissue background ratio measured by 18F-NaF PET between Vulnerable and non-vulnerable plaque (time frame: up to 1 week). 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 NCT02388412, 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 23 Feb 2016.
