Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether 18F-NaF (sodium fluoride) Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans can be used to identify ruptured and high-risk plaque as compared to non-invasive coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) scans and high-definition intravascular ultrasound (IVUS).

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Three groups of patients will be recruited for this study.
  • Acute Coronary Syndrome group: 40 patients with type 1 myocardial infarction within 21 days prior to the imaging visit and invasive coronary angiography with angiographic evidence of at least a 50% stenosis in one or more coronary arteries. Only patients undergoing PCI will be included in the study.
  • Stable Ischemic Heart Disease group: 40 patients who have undergone invasive coronary angiography within 21 days prior to the imaging visit, with history of typical angina prior to the angiogram, but no prior myocardial infarction or coronary revascularization.
  • Asymptomatic CAD group: 40 patients who have undergone Coronary Artery Calcium scanning within 6 months prior to the imaging visit, matched to the ACS patients for age, gender, and CAC score.
  • Patients in the asymptomatic CAD group must
  • have no prior CAD associated event (no prior myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome, coronary angiogram, or PCI),
  • have CAC between 10 to <1000, and
  • match to patients in the ACS group by gender, age by decile, and CAC category (using CAC categories of 10 to <100, 100 to <400, 400 to <1000).

Who cannot join

  • Age < 18 years
  • Creatinine > 1.5 mg/dL
  • History of severe allergy to Iodine contrast agents
  • Pregnancy
  • Active atrial fibrillation
  • Multiple premature ventricular or atrial contractions
  • Ejection fraction <35%
  • Class III congestive heart failure

About this study

Official title: 18F-fluoride (18F-NaF) Positron Emission Tomography (PET) for Identification of Ruptured and High-Risk Coronary Atherosclerotic Plaques

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether 18F-NaF (sodium fluoride) Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans can be used to identify ruptured and high-risk plaque as compared to non-invasive coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) scans and high-definition intravascular ultrasound (IVUS).

In subsets of patients, 18F-NaF PET scans and CCTA will be repeated to assess scan-rescan reproducibility.

Read the detailed description

This research involves having cardiac 18F-NaF PET imaging of the heart and coronary Computed Tomographic Angiography (CTA) in a one-day visit. Three groups of patients will be enrolled: patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome, patients with stable ischemic heart disease, and asymptomatic patients with suspected coronary artery disease.

Prior to 18F-NaF administration, participants will have blood drawn to measure serum creatinine and other biomarkers related to heart disease.

All participants will undergo a 18F-NaF PET scan and a coronary CTA (which includes contrast administration). If medically appropriate, participants will have oral or intravenous beta-blocker (metoprolol) and nitroglycerin prior to CTA imaging.

Up to 10 patients will be asked to return for repeat18F-NaF PET and coronary CTA imaging 2 to 21 days after the initial scan. Up to 20 patients will be asked to return for repeat 18F-NaF PET scan and coronary CTA imaging about 6 months after the initial scan. Researchers will compare the repeat images to the initial studies.

What is being measured

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

  1. target-to-background ratio (TBR) uptake of 18F-NaF

    a comparison of the uptake of 18F-NaF in an atherosclerotic plaque lesion compared to the background (superior vena cava)

    Measured: one day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing 18F-NaF PET and coronary CTA imaging in people with Coronary Artery Disease and Atherosclerotic Plaque, run by Cedars-Sinai Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

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 8 inclusion and 8 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 22 Jul 2022. 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 United States. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

target-to-background ratio (TBR) uptake of 18F-NaF (time frame: one day). 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 22 Jul 2022.
