Trial summary

The model by which physicians measure the lack of blood flow in the vessels that supply blood to the heart muscle is called Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR). FFR is the measurement of the pressure across the vessels that supply blood to the heart. These are known as the coronary arteries. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: PrEssure wiRe Compared to Microcatheter-based Sensing Technology For the Evaluation of cORonary Fractional Flow Reserve Measurements

The model by which physicians measure the lack of blood flow in the vessels that supply blood to the heart muscle is called Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR). FFR is the measurement of the pressure across the vessels that supply blood to the heart. These are known as the coronary arteries. This study involves comparing two FFR wires, the St. Jude Medical Pressure Wire (PW) and the ACIST Navvus Microcatheter (MC) to check the accuracy of the devices. FFR allows real-time estimation of the effects of a narrowed vessel, whereas standard angiography can underestimate or overestimate narrowing, because it only visualizes contrast (the different areas of color) inside a vessel.

Read the detailed description

Fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement by pressure wire (PW) under hyperemic conditions has become the invasive gold standard for determining the physiologic extent of cardiac ischemia, and which has been validated in several clinical outcomes studies as a way of optimizing case selection for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). More recently a microcatheter (MC)-based sensor measurement of fractional flow reserve has been introduced. Small scale in-vivo comparisons have been performed suggesting the utility of this approach to measure FFR,but these data are limited and have not been independently validated. This non-randomized, prospective study is designed to evaluate the accuracy of MC-based FFR measurement to the PW standard in lesions subjected to FFR assessment in routine clinical practice.

What participants receive

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

  • St. Jude Medical Pressure WireDevice

    Also called PW

    FFR measurement will be obtained with a PW with the FFR measurement obtained by using a MC within the same subject across the same target lesion at the same time

  • ACIST Navvus MicrocatheterDevice

    Also called MC

    FFR measurement will be obtained with a MC with the FFR measurement obtained by using a PW within the same subject across the same target lesion at the same time

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Pressure wire and MicrocatheterExperimentalAll subjects enrolled will have both an FFR done measured by a pressure wire (PW) and then again by a microcatheter (MC).
Receives: Device: St. Jude Medical Pressure Wire; Device: ACIST Navvus Microcatheter

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR)

    The mean FFR will be measured with the pressure catheter (PC) to be compared against the mean FFR measured with a standard Pressure Wire (PW) within the same subject across the same target lesion at the same time. Fractional flow reserve measurement involves determining the ratio between the maximum achievable blood flow in a diseased coronary artery and the theoretical maximum flow in a normal coronary artery.

    Measured: Through study completion (an average of an hour)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing St. Jude Medical Pressure Wire and ACIST Navvus Microcatheter in people with Ischemia and Angina, run by Columbia University 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 5 inclusion and 7 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 14 Jun 2019. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Jun 2019). 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?

Mean Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) (time frame: Through study completion (an average of an hour)). 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 14 Jun 2019.
