About this study

Official title: Comparison of Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography and Fractional Flow Reserve in Patients With Moderate Coronary Artery Disease: Stable and Non-culprit Lesions Investigation

Enrollment:

  • Patients with stable coronary artery disease (SCAD) and moderate coronary artery stenoses (30-70 %)
  • Patients with acute myocardial infarction and moderate stenosis of non-culprit arteries (NCL; BYSTANDER LESION)

Aims:

  • To assess the diagnostic accuracy of dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) and invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement
  • To assess the prognostic impact of reclassification by a mismatching negative test

Hypothesis:

  • DSE and FFR have similar prognostic value in both clinical settings (SCAD and NCL)
  • Considering the strong negative predictive value of both DSE and FFR, one negative test is sufficiently enough to defer revascularisation, even in the case of mismatch
Read the detailed description

Easy accessibility made fractional flow reserve (FFR) a widely accepted method to evaluate myocardial ischaemia in patients with moderate coronary artery stenosis, although the prognostic value for "hard" endpoints such as myocardial infarction and cardiovascular death is equivocal.

Dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) is a useful and safe non-invasive functional test for myocardial ichaemia evaluation. There are robust data confirming the prognostic value of DSE regarding the same "hard" endpoints.

In patients with SCAD there are clear recommendations in the recent guidelines both for DSE guided or FFR guided revascularization but the data about prognosis is limited, especially in the case of FFR guidance. The outcome is also equivocal if there is a difference between the invasive and non-invasive test result.

In patients with acute myocardial infarction, more than 50% of patients have multivessel disease. There are clear recommendations for the management of infarct related artery, however controversy still exists for the management of angiographically moderate NCLs.

In DSE vs. FFR prospective trial, the Investigators plan to perform both the DSE and FFR tests in the above mentioned clinical settings, to investigate the correlation between them. The causes of differences between them would be investigated as well as the prognostic impact of reclassification by a second test (either DSE or FFR).

If both tests are positive, revascularisation is planned to be performed (PCI Group). In cases of either double negative or mismatching tests, optimal medical therapy will be chosen (OMT Group) with clinical follow up of at least 2 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ischemic Heart Disease, run by Bajcsy-Zsilinszky Hospital.

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 3 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 2 Jan 2020. 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?

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?

Acute Myocardial Infarction (time frame: From baseline to at least 2 years). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03383718, which also lists 22 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 2 Jan 2020.
