About this study
Official title: Assessing Diagnostic Value of Non-invasive FFRCT in Coronary CarE (ADVANCE)
The objective of the HeartFlow ADVANCE Registry is to evaluate utility, clinical outcomes and resource utilization of FFRCT-guided evaluation in clinically stable, symptomatic patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) in order to further inform patients, health care providers, and other stakeholders about which technologies are most effective and efficient in the diagnosis and management of CAD.

REGISTRY OBJECTIVE
The objective of the HeartFlow ADVANCE Registry is to evaluate utility, clinical outcomes and resource utilization of FFRCT-guided evaluation in clinically stable, symptomatic patients with CAD in order to further inform patients, health care providers, and other stakeholders about which technologies are most effective and efficient in the diagnosis and management of CAD.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:
- To determine if the availability of FFRCT, in addition to coronary anatomy from the cCTA, will lead to a significant change in the coronary management plan.
- To assess the real world outcomes of utilizing FFRCT to guide invasive management and/or medical treatment.
- To assess resource utilization, following standard practice for diagnostic and treatment pathways incorporating FFRCT as the preferred CAD diagnostic test.
- To provide society including patients, health care providers, and other stakeholders with information about which diagnostic technologies are most effective and efficient in managing patients with CAD.
- Conditions
- Coronary Artery Disease

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of Participants With Reclassification of CAD Management, Assessed as the Therapeutic Recommendations Made Based on Review of Coronary CTA Alone Versus CTA + FFRCT, When Available, by a Central Integration Core Laboratory.
The reclassification rate of management plans was assessed by the blinded independent review committee and local physician teams separately. These evaluations are meant to assess the potential impact of FFRCT on downstream testing and clinical decision making but were not be used to determine actual patient care. This endpoint is aimed at determining the incremental value of FFRCT over coronary CTA alone in the management of stable angina.
FFRCT is non-invasive method to determine FFR which computes the hemodynamic significance of CAD (FFRCT) from subject-specific cCTA data using computational fluid dynamics under rest and simulated maximal coronary hyperemic conditions (Taylor 2013).
Measured: at 90 days
Secondary outcomes (8)
Percentage of Participants With Reclassification Between Investigator Management Plan Based on cCTA Alone Compared to Actual Clinical Management
Coronary computed tomography angiography-derived fractional flow reserve resulted in revision of the clinical management plan as determined by the site investigators.
Measured: at 90 days
Percentage of Participants With Invasive Catheterization Without Obstructive Disease
Invasive catheterization without obstructive disease was measured by either site read coronary angiogram showing no stenosis of ≥ 50% or no invasively-measured FFR ≤ 0.80 in a segment distal to a stenosis.
Measured: At 90 days
Percentage of Major Adverse Coronary Events (MACE) at 90 Days
MACE is defined as the composite rate of all cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI) and unplanned hospitalization for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) leading to urgent revascularization.
Measured: 90 days
Percentage of Individual Components of MACE at 90 Days
Individual components of MACE defined as all cause death, non-fatal MI, unplanned hospitalization for ACS leading to urgent revascularization
Measured: 90 days
Cumulative Radiation Exposure From cCTA MilliSievert (mSv)
Cumulative radiation exposure calculated in non-invasive coronary diagnostic tests: cCTA effective radiation dose. Effective radiation dose measured as the product of dose-length product times for conversion coefficient for the chest (K = 0.026 mSv/mGy·cm).
Measured: Baseline
Resource Utilization at 90 Days. Site-determined Post FFRCT Treatment Plan
Resource utilization composite defined as the composite of invasive diagnostic and therapeutic coronary procedures and noninvasive cardiac testing. Site treating physician recommended clinical management strategies following coronary computed tomography angiography-derived fractional flow reserve.
Measured: 90 days
Percentage of Major Adverse Coronary Events (MACE) at 1 Year
MACE is defined as the composite rate of all cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI) and unplanned hospitalization for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) leading to urgent revascularization.
Measured: 1 year
Percentage of Individual Components of MACE at 1 Year
Individual components of MACE defined as all cause death, non-fatal MI, unplanned hospitalization for ACS leading to urgent revascularization
Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease, run by HeartFlow, Inc..
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 2 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 30 Jul 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Jul 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Percentage of Participants With Reclassification of CAD Management, Assessed as the Therapeutic Recommendations Made Based on Review of Coronary CTA Alone Versus CTA + FFRCT, When Available, by a Central Integration Core Laboratory. (time frame: at 90 days). 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 NCT02499679, which also lists 7 linked publications.
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 30 Jul 2025.
