About this study

Official title: A Single Centre, Prospective, Feasibility Study of the iKOs™ Coronary Pressure and Flow Rapid-exchange Microcatheter and iKOr™ Console in Patients With Coronary Heart Disease Undergoing Coronary Physiology Investigations

The purpose of this investigation is to see if the newly developed "iKOs™ microcatheter" can safely and accurately measure flow and pressure within the heart arteries of 10 patients undergoing angiogram and pressure wire tests.

Read the detailed description

After being informed about the study and the potential risks and benefits, participants who provide written consent will be screened to make sure they fulfil the study entry requirements. Those who are assessed as eligible will undergo baseline assessments and preparation for their angiogram.

Once enrolled they will undergo coronary angiography at the start of their clinical procedure. The angiogram will be examined by the Investigator and a decision made if the target vessel is suitable for a pressure wire study and insertion of the investigational device. If the investigator confirms that the participant remains eligible and the study part can go ahead, the participant will proceed to undergo the investigation with the iKOs microcatheter.

The study assessments will be performed through the right radial artery (preference) under local anaesthesia. A sheath will be inserted and a pre-procedure blood sample taken for Troponin T level. A pressure study will then be performed, initially with a pressure wire before using the iKOs™ microcatheter. Both will be performed before and after hyperaemia. Following withdrawal of the iKOs™ microcatheter, a pressure wire assessment is then repeated after the microcatheter is withdrawn. The case will then proceed as clinically indicated. The whole procedure should take about 30-45 minutes. Post-procedure the participant will be managed according to standard clinical practice.

The participant will be discharged home, usually about 4 hours after the end of the procedure. A troponin blood test and ECG will be repeated before they are discharged.

Follow up telephone calls to assess for any complications of the procedure will be made within the first 7 days and again between 6 and 8 weeks after the procedure.

What participants receive

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

  • Intra coronary rapid-exchange iKOs microcatheter interventionDevice

    Also called iKOs Microcatheter

    Patients planned for an invasive coronary physiology (pressure-wire) study and who meet the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria can be enrolled. Participants will undergo preparation for their clinical procedure (angiogram with pressure wire study) in the normal manner. Arterial cannulation will be performed via the radial or femoral artery) under local anaesthesia. The sheath will be inserted and a pre-procedure blood sample taken for Troponin T level. A coronary angiogram will be performed as per standard clinical practice prior to cannulating the coronary artery to be studied. The pressure studies will be performed sequentially, first with a pressure wire before using the iKOs™ microcatheter. Following withdrawal of the iKOs™ microcatheter. A pressure wire assessment is repeated after the microcatheter is withdrawn. The case will then proceed as clinically indicated. Post-procedure the participant will be managed according to standard clinical practice.

What is being measured

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

  1. To assess the effectiveness of the iKOr system in measuring temperature change (flow) in patients with coronary artery disease undergoing physiology investigations

    A change in thermal transit time measured by the iKOr system

    Measured: Measured immediately prior to adenosine administration (baseline), and during adenosine administration (hyperaemia).

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. To assess the safety of the iKOs microcatheter in patients undergoing angiography and pressure wire assessment

    The number of major adverse cardiac events or patient deaths

    Measured: Measured at procedure, at 4 hrs post procedure, at 1 week post procedure and 8 weeks post procedure

  2. To assess the safety of the iKOs microcatheter procedure

    The number of procedural complications related to the device (operator observed vessel spasm, vascular complications, bleeding)

    Measured: Measured at procedure, 4 hrs post procedure, at 1 week post procedure and 8 weeks post procedure

  3. To assess the effect of the iKOs microcatheter on cardiac injury

    The change in Troponin levels

    Measured: Troponin T measurement at procedure start and 4 hrs post procedure

  4. To assess the effect of the iKOs microcatheter on TIMI (Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction) flow

    The change in TIMI (Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction) flow

    Measured: TIMI flow measured immediately prior to insertion of iKOs microcatheter and on removal of the iKOs microcatheter

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intra coronary rapid-exchange iKOs microcatheter intervention in people with Coronary Artery Disease and Coronary Stenosis, run by Queen Mary University of 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 4 inclusion and 15 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 30 Apr 2024. 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?

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?

To assess the effectiveness of the iKOr system in measuring temperature change (flow) in patients with coronary artery disease undergoing physiology investigations (time frame: Measured immediately prior to adenosine administration (baseline), and during adenosine administration (hyperaemia).). 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?
