Trial summary

Congenital heart defects are the most frequent manifestation of congenital diseases (8 per 1000 live births). Imaging modalities play an increasing role in their diagnosis, follow-up, and pre/post-surgery check-up. Read more about this study

About this study

Congenital heart defects are the most frequent manifestation of congenital diseases (8 per 1000 live births). Imaging modalities play an increasing role in their diagnosis, follow-up, and pre/post-surgery check-up. Echocardiography usually provides a first line diagnosis, but Coronary CT Angiography (CCTA) also demonstrated its usefulness whenever accurate modelling of anatomic structures is required.

CCTA is well defined for adult patients. This is not the case for paediatric population, which rises two main difficulties:

  • The use of ionising radiation in young subjects involves a very radio-sensitive population, potentially subject to multiple exams during their follow up.
  • Technical issues related to young patients: No breath-holding, uncontrolled movements during acquisition, very high heart rates (making ECG gating more complex) and very small structures.

These conditions usually result in a deteriorated image quality or in radiation dose increase (retrospective gating). These two outcomes are not acceptable for both, clinician and patient.

In this study, investigators make the hypothesis that despite difficult conditions stated above, ultra-low dose acquisitions may results in diagnostic quality acquisition, thanks to state of art CT technologies combined with acquisition parameters specially designed for that purpose.

Investigators aim to demonstrate feasibility and performances of such exams.

Read the detailed description

Fifty paediatric patients are to be enrolled in this study. All these patients were prescribed a coronary angiography CT as part of their follow up for a known or suspected coronary artery anomaly.

Computed Tomography acquisitions are performed on a Revolution CT (GE Healthcare) using a wide detector aperture (160 mm), last generation of iterative reconstruction algorithm and specific reconstruction software reducing cardiac motion artefacts. A rotation time of 0.28 sec is used, with a slice thickness of 0.625 mm and a 0.625 mm reconstruction interval. The acquisition is ECG-gated (prospective) with kV and mAs depending on BMI, heart rate and heart rate variability of patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Anomaly, Congenital, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 1 site in France.

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 0 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 17 May 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 France. 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?

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?

CT diagnostic performance evaluation (time frame: first day). 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 NCT03194763, 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 17 May 2019.
