About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Fractional Flow Reserve Calculated by Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement(FORTUNA): Single Center, Open-label, Exploratory, Prospective Study

The objective of this study is to evaluate the relationship between fractional flow reserve (FFR) derived from coronary computed tomography angiography (FFRct) before transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and FFR after TAVR so as to investigate whether FFRct is useful for evaluating myocardial ischemia of severe AS. Furthermore, by measuring the instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) which is a physiological diagnostic method of coronary artery stenosis before and after TAVR and comparing iFR (iFR before and after TAVR) and FFR (FFR after TAVR) with FFRct (FFRct before and after TAVR), It also aims to deepen understanding of resting coronary artery physiology in aortic valve stenosis.

Read the detailed description

This is a single-center, open-label, exploratory, prospective study. Among patients who undergo coronary computed tomography angiography (cCTA) prior to TAVR, those with moderate or severe stenotic lesions will be included in the study. Patients from whom consent is obtained following TAVR will be enrolled in the study.

Among patients who undergo TAVR at the Kobe University Hospital from September 2018 to March 2022, those who are found to have moderate or severe stenosis on cCTA performed before surgery and judged to clinically require ischemia evaluation will be included in the study. At the time of pre-TAVR coronary angiogram, iFR (iFR before TAVR) will be measured. The cCTA data collected from patients whose consent is obtained following TAVR will be anonymized and sent to HeartFlow, Inc., where the FFRct(FFRct before TAVR) values will be calculated using their cardiovascular dynamics analysis program. FFR (FFR after TAVR) and iFR (iFR after TAVR) will be measured using a guide wire that is capable of sensing pressure after TAVR is performed. Furthermore, FFRct (FFRct after TAVR) is calculated from cCTA taken after TAVR.

  • iFR / FFR measurementDevice

    At the time of pre-TAVR coronary angiogram, iFR (iFR before TAVR) will be measured. The cCTA data collected from patients whose consent is obtained following TAVR will be anonymized and sent to HeartFlow, Inc., where the FFRct (FFRct before TAVR) values will be calculated using their cardiovascular dynamics analysis program. With the FFRct values blinded, FFR (FFR after TAVR) and iFR (iFR after TAVR) will be measured using a guide wire that is capable of sensing pressure after TAVR is performed. Furthermore, FFRct(FFRct after TAVR) is calculated from cCTA taken after TAVR.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing iFR / FFR measurement in people with Aortic Valve Stenosis and Coronary Artery Disease, run by Kobe University.

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 2 inclusion and 10 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Sep 2018. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

FFRct before TAVR (time frame: Baseline). 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 13 Sep 2018.
