Trial summary

Hyperemia with adenosine was an elemental process in FFR examination. Adenosine injection will induce some discomfort, and increase cost expenditure. Nitroglycerine will induce an acute drop of Pd/Pa, and this lowest Pd/Pa was determined as NTG-Pd/Pa. Read more about this study

About this study

Hyperemia with adenosine was an elemental process in FFR examination. Adenosine injection will induce some discomfort, and increase cost expenditure. Nitroglycerine will induce an acute drop of Pd/Pa, and this lowest Pd/Pa was determined as NTG-Pd/Pa. NTG-Pd/Pa has a linear relationship with FFR value and has a good diagnostic accuracy to predict FFR≤0.80 in our recent study. There is only one prospective study report on the relationship between NTG-Pd/Pa and FFR. In this study, we aim to evaluate the safety of NTG-Pd/Pa, the repeatability and dose-response of this novel index. Furthermore, we will investigate the diagnostic accuracy of NTG-Pd/Pa, with FFR≤0.8 and Resting full-cycle ratio≤0.89 as ischemic threshold respectively.

Read the detailed description

Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is defined as the ratio of mean distal pressure (distal to the target lesion, Pd)to mean proximal pressure (aortic pressure, Pa) in the coronary artery(Pd/Pa) while the maximal hyperemic flow is achieved. Nowadays, FFR-guided PCI is highly recommended for the assessment of physiologic ischemia in intermediate coronary lesions. However, hyperemia with adenosine was an elemental process in FFR examination. Adenosine injection will induce some discomfort, and increase cost expenditure. Based on the clinical and physiologic outcome study, a lot of non-hyperemic indexes had been proposed, and adenosine injection could be waived. Whereas, these novel physiologic indexes are limited to the proprietary software of each vendor, curtailing clinical application. Intracoronary nitroglycerin injection was needed before each FFR assessment. Nitroglycerine will induce an acute drop of Pd/Pa, and this lowest Pd/Pa was determined as NTG-Pd/Pa. NTG-Pd/Pa has a linear relationship with FFR value and has a good diagnostic accuracy to predict FFR≤0.80 in our recent study. There is only one prospective study report on the relationship between NTG-Pd/Pa and FFR. In this study, we aim to evaluate the safety of NTG-Pd/Pa, the repeatability and dose-response of this novel index. Furthermore, we will investigate the diagnostic accuracy of NTG-Pd/Pa, with FFR≤0.8 and Resting full-cycle ratio≤0.89 as ischemic threshold respectively.

What is being measured

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

  1. The repeatability and dose response of NTG-Pd/Pa

    Comparing the difference of NTG-Pd/Pa value after various dosage of nitroglycerine injection in the same coronary lesion

    Measured: 10 minutes

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Major adverse cardiac event

    MACE including target lesion failure, target vessel failure, target vessel-related myocardial infarction, and cardiac death

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Diagnostic accuracy of NTG-Pd/Pa 1

    Investigate the diagnostic accuracy of NTG-Pd/Pa, with FFR≤0.8 as ischemic threshold

    Measured: 30 minutes

  3. Diagnostic accuracy of NTG-Pd/Pa 2

    Investigate the diagnostic accuracy of NTG-Pd/Pa, with RFR≤0.89 as ischemic threshold

    Measured: 30 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypotension Symptomatic and Ischemic Heart Disease, run by National Taiwan University Hospital Hsin-Chu Branch at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 1 inclusion and 6 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 7 Jan 2021. 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 Taiwan. 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 Chien-Boon Jong, MD (+88635322140, jgboon0407@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The repeatability and dose response of NTG-Pd/Pa (time frame: 10 minutes). 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 Jan 2021.
