About this study
Official title: MVT-100: Advancing the Clinical Use of Perflutren Ultrasound Contrast Agents for Suboptimal Echocardiograms
Definity (perflutren lipid microspheres, Lantheus Medical Imaging) is an ultrasound contrast indicated for use in patients with suboptimal echocardiograms to opacify the left ventricular chamber and to improve the delineation of the left ventricular endocardial border. MVT-100 (the investigational pharmaceutical) is similar to Definity, with the exception of the removal of one lipid in the lipid blend and substitution of another lipid. This study is intended to evaluate the safety and efficacy of MVT-100 using a single ascending dose design in healthy volunteers. Patients are randomized to receive either MVT-100 or Definity and undergo echocardiograms after receiving either MVT-100 or Definity via bolus or IV infusion administration. The primary endpoints evaluated are safety and endocardial border delineation.
Read the detailed description
Ultrasound is one of the most common imaging examinations and has advantages of absence of ionizing radiation, portability and relatively low cost. Ultrasound contrast agents are used to improve the accuracy of ultrasound and Definity (perflutren) is the world's leading ultrasound contrast agent but perflutren has to be refrigerated and has a side effect of back pain. The investigators have developed a new, improved perflutren, MVT-100, with potential for room temperature storage.
Ultrasound contrast agents are used to increase the backscatter (signal intensity of blood vessels and tissues to improve diagnostic accuracy) of ultrasound imaging. In the US ultrasound contrast agents are FDA approved for echocardiography to improve endomyocardial border definition.
MVT-100 reflects the ultrasound to provide strong back-scattering. MVT-100 microbubbles resonate with ultrasound to provide strong harmonic signals. MVT-100 microbubbles will cavitate with higher levels of ultrasound and cavitation may be stable or inertial depending upon acoustic parameters and other factors.
The study is a multi centre ascending dose comparison of Definity and MVT-100 for use in echocardiography and will be performed in a sample of healthy volunteers who are randomized to receive either Definity or MVT-100.
This trial will assess safety and evaluate the following imaging metrics:
- Determine the optimal dose of MVT-100 by comparing MVT-100 vs Definity in the change from baseline of quantitative left ventricular opacification
- Evaluation of qualitative left ventricular opacification (LVO)
- Evaluation of endocardial border delineation
- Evaluation of endocardial border length
- Evaluation of duration of useful contrast

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
EchocardiogramDiagnostic test
Images will be recorded in parasternal long, short axis, apical four, two, and three chamber views according to the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) 17 segment model. Each assessment will include one round of low MI imaging (<0.3) and one round of very low MI imaging (<0.2) in each of the pre-specified windows according to the 2014 ASE Sonographer Guidelines.
A baseline echocardiogram will be performed prior to the administration of DEFINITY® or MVT-100. Assessments will be made three times, once from 0 - 1 ½ minutes following injection, once between 1 ½ minutes to 3 minutes following IV injection and once from 3 - 4 ½ minutes following IV injection. Assessments at each time point will include one round of low MI imaging (<0.3) and one round of very low MI imaging (<0.2). Each round will include the views in the following order: parasternal long, parasternal short, apical 4, apical 2 and apical 3.
MVT-100Drug
After randomization, MVT-100, the experimental drug, is administered via IV infusion or bolus administration and echocardiograms are subsequently obtained.
DefinityDrug
After randomization, Definity, the active comparator, is administered via IV infusion or bolus administration and echocardiograms are subsequently obtained.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing Echocardiogram, MVT-100 and Definity in people with Heart Diseases, run by Microvascular Therapeutics, LLC at 2 sites 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 12 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 May 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites 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.
What does this combined phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
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?
QT Interval (time frame: Day of study). The study lists 5 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 NCT03882359, which also lists 6 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 9 May 2025.
