About this study

Official title: Evaluation the Diagnostic Efficacy of a Low-dose Radiation and Contrast Agent Exposure Protocol for Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography(CTA)on Coronary Artery Disease in Diabetic Patients

To assess diagnostic accuracy,image quality and renal safety of a double low-dose coronary CTA protocol at coronary artery evaluation in patients with diabetes by using invasive coronary angiography(ICA) as the reference method and to compare the results with those obtained traditional dose protocol. The study will randomly include about 400 consecutive participants aged 18 to 80 years old who had been diagnosed with diabetes and suspected coronary artery disease.All participants undergo ICA and coronary CT angiography performed with a whole-heart CT scan.Coronary segment interpretability,image quality based on a four-point Likert scale,blood indicators of renal function will be accessed between double low-dose CTA protocol and traditional CTA protocol. Investigators hypothesize that an individualized coronary CTA protocol that appropriately reduces radiation dose and contrast dose does not affect image quality and diagnostic accuracy, and can reduce the risk of kidney damage in high-risk patients.

Read the detailed description

The study has been approved by the local ethics committee and allparticipants will be provided written informed consent. Iodixanol 320 mg/ml is injected followed by 30 ml of saline solution.In the test group,the tube voltage,contrast agent volume and flow rate are adapted to cardiac ejection fraction(EF) and body mass index(BMI)according to the pretest. participants in the contract group are injected 50 ml contrast agent with the flow rate of 5 ml/s in tube voltage of 120 kVp. All participants are scanned in automatic tube current.

What is being measured

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

  1. diagnosis accuracy (including sensitivity,specificity of the low-dose radiation and contrast agent exposure protocol for coronary CTA)

    Comparing with invasive coronary angiography,if the low-dose radiation and contrast agent exposure protocol for coronary CTA can detect significant(>50%)stenosis.

    Measured: three years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. image quality

    two independent blinded readers semi-quantitatively the image quality.Compare the difference in image quality score between the the low-dose radiation and contrast agent exposure protocol and the traditional protocol.

    Measured: three years

  2. image quality

    Compare the difference in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR),contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) and Contrast density between the two groups.

    Measured: three years

  3. kidney function

    Compare the difference in the level of creatinine(Cr) and cystatin C in serum between the two groups.

    Measured: three years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing double-low scanning in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by First Affiliated Hospital Xi'an Jiaotong University at 1 site in China.

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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Apr 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 China. 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 Jian Zhijie (+86 137 7204 1327, jianzhijie80@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

diagnosis accuracy (including sensitivity,specificity of the low-dose radiation and contrast agent exposure protocol for coronary CTA) (time frame: three years). 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 Apr 2020.
