Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 30 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Eligible patients are those who have clinically indicated referral for cardiac catheterization based on clinical history and sign of ischemia or obstructive coronary lesion(s) from non-invasive imaging test (radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging, CMR myocardial perfusion imaging, or CCTA).

  1. Subject Inclusion Criteria Patients need to meet all the following inclusion criteria to be enrolled in the study:
  2. Symptomatic and hemodynamically stable
  3. Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) ruled out based on absence of abnormal changes in ECG and cardiac enzymes
  4. Referral for cardiac catheterization based on clinical history and non-invasive imaging test findings. Non-invasive imaging findings include one or more of the following: (i) Evidence of myocardial ischemia from radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging; (ii) Evidence of myocardial ischemia from CMR myocardial perfusion imaging; (iii) Evidence of ≥ 50% stenosis in the left circumflex artery (LCx), left anterior descending artery (LAD) and/or right coronary artery (RCA) from CCTA.
  5. Ability to undergo stress myocardial perfusion test (absence of contraindications for vasodilator)
  6. Written informed consent
  7. Subject Exclusion Criteria

Patients meeting at least one of the following criteria will be excluded from the study:

  1. Recent (< 1 month) ACS
  2. CCTA reveals ≥ 50% stenosis in the left main artery
  3. Severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 30 mL/min/1.73m2
  4. Contraindications to stress perfusion imaging, including: i) severe reactive airway disease; ii) high-grade atrioventricular block; iii) allergy to vasodilators; iv) caffeine within 12 hours; v) theophylline use within 48 hours.
  5. History of CABG surgery
  6. History of malignancy during the past 3 years prior to screening
  7. History of alcohol and/or drug abuse within 3 years prior to screening
  8. Sign of pregnancy
  9. Pregnant or nursing
  10. History of severe allergic or anaphylactic reaction to any allergen including drugs and contrast agents
  11. Recent (< 1 month) use of an investigational drug or device
  12. Participation in any other investigational drug or device trial during the conduct of this study
  13. Lack of ability or willingness to comply with the protocol requirements or deemed by the Site Investigator to be unfit for the study

About this study

Official title: Multicenter Diagnostic Performance of Dynamic CT Perfusion for Functional Assessment of Coronary Artery Disease

The objective of this multicenter study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of dynamic cardiac CT perfusion (CTP) imaging for non-invasive functional assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD). The proposed CTP technique allows concomitant assessment of two imaging-derived cardiac biomarkers including fractional flow reserve (FFR) and myocardial perfusion from a single dynamic imaging sequence, which facilities simultaneous evaluation of the hemodynamics in epicardial coronary arteries and coronary microcirculation in patients with CAD. The CTP results will be compared with invasive coronary angiography / FFR assessment and non-invasive cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) / radionuclide perfusion assessment.

What participants receive

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

  • Dynamic cardiac CT perfusion imagingDiagnostic test

    Multiple images of the heart are acquired with a clinical CT scanner after an intravenous bolus injection of contrast solution. The images are then analyzed to provide fractional flow reserve and myocardial perfusion values.

What is being measured

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

  1. Accuracy of myocardial perfusion obtained from dynamic cardiac CT perfusion imaging for detecting functionally significant coronary artery stenosis

    Comparison with invasive coronary angiography and FFR assessment

    Measured: Within 4 weeks prior to invasive cardiac catheterization

  2. Accuracy of FFR obtained from dynamic cardiac CT perfusion imaging for detecting functionally significant coronary artery stenosis

    Comparison with invasive coronary angiography and FFR assessment

    Measured: Within 4 weeks prior to invasive cardiac catheterization

  3. Accuracy of combined myocardial perfusion and FFR measurement obtained from dynamic cardiac CT perfusion imaging for detecting functionally significant coronary artery stenosis

    Comparison with invasive coronary angiography and FFR assessment

    Measured: Within 4 weeks prior to invasive cardiac catheterization

  4. Comparison of diagnostic accuracy for functional CAD assessment between dynamic CT perfusion and static CT perfusion

    Comparison in patients with multi-vessel CAD where balanced ischemia is expected

    Measured: Within 4 weeks prior to invasive cardiac catheterization

  5. Comparison of diagnostic accuracy for functional CAD assessment between dynamic CT perfusion and CT-FFR (based on computational fluid dynamics simulation)

    Comparison in patients with dense coronary calcification

    Measured: Within 4 weeks prior to invasive cardiac catheterization

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Comparison of diagnostic accuracy for functional CAD assessment between dynamic CT perfusion and other non-CT perfusion imaging techniques

    Comparison with CMR / radionuclide perfusion assessment

    Measured: Within 4 weeks of the acquisition of non-CT perfusion imaging

  2. Comparison of diagnostic accuracy of dynamic CT perfusion for functional CAD assessment between male and female patients

    Sex-based analysis

    Measured: Within 4 weeks prior to invasive cardiac catheterization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease, run by London Health Sciences Centre Research Institute OR Lawson Research Institute of St. Joseph's at 1 site in Canada.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 15 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 Canada. 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 Aaron So, PhD ((519)9315777 ext. 24224, aso@robarts.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Accuracy of myocardial perfusion obtained from dynamic cardiac CT perfusion imaging for detecting functionally significant coronary artery stenosis (time frame: Within 4 weeks prior to invasive cardiac catheterization). 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?
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 15 Jan 2021.
