About this study

Official title: Derivation and Validation of a Novel Adenosine-independent Index of Coronary Artery Stenosis Severity Resting Flow Reserve

This study will enroll patients who are referred for coronary angiography and require physiological assessment to see if the lesion can be treated as per the local standard of care. Approximately 92 participants will be enrolled. There are no follow up visits required so participation in this study will end when subjects are discharged from the hospital.The study will be comparing the resting flow reserve against the instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) and fractional flow reserve. All these tests offer a way to image a legion and determine if it is suitable to be treated. FFR measures the pressure differences across (narrowed coronary arteries usually due to atherosclerosis), iFR's are performed during cardiac catheterisation (angiography) using invasive coronary pressure wires which are placed in the arteries of the heart that are to be assessed and the Resting flow reserve looks at the maximum increase in blood flow through the coronary arteries above the normal resting volume.

Read the detailed description

Fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement by 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 in two large-scale randomized controlled trials using a non-hyperemic resting measurement, the instantaneous wave free ratio (iFR) showed non-inferiority in major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) comparing iFR to FFR for physiological assessment of moderate coronary stenosis. FFR is calculated as the ratio of the distal coronary pressure to the aortic pressure (Pd/Pa) during maximal micro-circulatory relaxation. iFR is a diagnostic tool used to assess whether a stenosis is causing a limitation of blood flow in coronary arteries with subsequent ischemia. iFR is performed during cardiac catheterization (angiography) using invasive coronary pressure wires which are placed in the coronary arteries that are to be assessed. The iFR negates the time averaging and administration of vasodilators necessary for FFR by identifying from the resting pressure waveform a period when the native microcirculatory resistance is constant and minimized in diastole. The study is looking at the accuracy and precision of a novel adenosine-independent index of coronary artery stenosis, the resting flow reserve, against the instantaneous wave-free ratio and fractional flow reserve.

What participants receive

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

  • Volcano Verrata Pressure WireDevice

    Also called iFR Wire

    Steerable guidewire with a pressure transducer mounted 3cm proximal to the tip. The guidewire has a diameter of 0.014".

    and is packaged preconnected to the connector with a torque device to facilitate navigation through the vasculature.

  • St. Jude Medical (SJM) Aeris Pressure Wire SystemDevice

    Also called RFR Wire

    The pressure wire is a 0.014'' guidewire with a pressure and temperature sensor integrated into the tip to enable measurements of physiological parameters.

Study groups in NCT03461705
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
PrimaryExperimentalAll patients who are referred for coronary angiography and require physiological assessment of intermediate lesions will have both RFR and iFR measured during their standard of care procedure. Both the RFR wire (St. Jude Medical (SJM) Aeris Pressure Wire System) and iFR (Volcano Verrata Pressure Wire) wire will be advanced across the lesion with the sensor located at least 3 cm distal from the lesion.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage Agreement Between Mean RFR and iFR Measurements

    Mean RFR measurements will be compared against mean iFR measurements to determine if there is an agreement between RFR and iFR for detection of ischemia.

    Measured: During procedure

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Lesion Classification (FFR≤/>0.80) by RFR

    Measured: During procedure

  2. Lesion Classification (FFR≤/>0.80) by iFR

    Measured: During procedure

  3. Pressure Drift of RFR

    Measured: During procedure

  4. Pressure Drift of iFR

    Measured: During procedure

  5. Measurement Reproducibility for RFR

    Reproducibility of RFR will be tested against iFR. Reproducibility will be measured by comparing the measure of RFR (minimal ratio of distal coronary pressure/aortic pressure) at time point 1 versus time point 2 against iFR (minimal ratio of distal coronary pressure/aortic pressure during the wave-free period of diastole) at time point 1 versus time point 2.

    Measured: During procedure

  6. Measurement Reproducibility for iFR

    Reproducibility of iFR will be tested against RFR. Reproducibility will be measured by comparing the measure of iFR (minimal ratio of distal coronary pressure/aortic pressure during the wave-free period of diastole) at time point 1 versus time point 2 against RFR (minimal ratio of distal coronary pressure/aortic pressure) at time point 1 versus time point 2.

    Measured: During procedure

  7. Ability to Advance to the Target Lesion and Measure RFR and iFR

    Percentage of technical failure due to the inability to deliver the wire and measure out of total number of all procedures

    Measured: During procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Volcano Verrata Pressure Wire and St. Jude Medical (SJM) Aeris Pressure Wire System in people with Coronary; Ischemic, 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 12 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Feb 2020. 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 7 Feb 2020). 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 Agreement Between Mean RFR and iFR Measurements (time frame: During procedure). 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 7 Feb 2020.
