About this study

The study will investigate whether a new high resolution heart Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan, combining assessment of ischemia and viability by perfusion and Late Gadolinium Enhancement -Cardiac Magnetic Resonance is superior to Late Gadolinium Enhacement imaging alone in predicting functional recovery following revascularisation.

Read the detailed description

Coronary artery disease, where the heart's blood supply is restricted by narrowings or blockages, is the commonest cause of heart failure. This condition is called ischaemic cardiomyopathy. In some patients, treating these narrowings/ blockages with by-pass surgery or stents, known as "revascularisation", helps improve the pumping strength of the heart but it is currently difficult to predict which patients will benefit. The best test the investigators currently have to predict who will benefit from revascularisation is an Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan of the heart which looks for how much the heart has been scarred. Hearts with no scar usually improve after revascularisation and hearts with lots of scar usually do not. However, lots of patients fall into the middle and have moderate amounts of scar. The Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan isn't good at predicting if this group of patients will benefit from revascularisation. Revascularisation procedures, including heart by-passes, are not without risk and often require time in intensive care, several days in hospital and a long recovery period at home. If the investigators can develop a better test which is more accurate at predicting whether hearts with moderate scar will improve then they will be able to provide better care for patients by ensuring only those patients who will get benefit from revascularisation are put through the procedure.

This study will investigate whether a new high-resolution heart Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan, which looks at not only levels of scar but also the quality of blood supply, is more accurate than current MRI scans at predicting heart recovery after revascularisation in patients with moderate amounts of scar.

What participants receive

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

  • Research CMR scanDevice

    CMR scanning at a 3Tesla scanner at King's College London

  • Research 3D transthoracic echocardiogramDevice

    The scan is required to assess left ventricular systolic function

  • 6-minute walk testOther

    Sub maximal exercise that provides a measure for integrated global response of multiple cardiopulmonary and musculoskeletal systems involved in exercise.

What is being measured

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

  1. Recovery of the regional systolic function

    Recovery will be defined as a reduction in average resting wall motion score equal or more than 1. The region of interest will be defined as the segments of myocardium subentended by the revascularised coronary stenosis.

    Segments will be considered to have been revascularised if surgical by-pass to the diseased coronary artery subtending the segment is considered successful by the surgical team at the time of surgery.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Recovery of overall Left Ventricular ejection fraction

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Change in Left Ventricular end diastolic volume

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Diseases and Ischemic Cardiomyopathy, run by King's College London at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 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 19 Aug 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 Kingdom. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Amedeo Chiribiri, Dr (+44 (0)2071887188, Amedeo.Chiribiri@kcl.ac.uk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Recovery of the regional systolic function (time frame: 12 months). 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 19 Aug 2019.
