About this study

There are 2 arms to this study.

Arm 1: Participants undergoing coronary angiography for stable or acute coronary disease presentations and eligible for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) will be imaged with OCT-NIRAF at baseline and with CCTA 12 months apart to demonstrate that:

  1. NIRAF coronary artery signal level (patient, artery, lesion basis) is correlated with the severity of coronary artery disease.
  2. NIRAF coronary artery signal level is a predictor of plaque progression on a per participant, per artery, or per lesion basis.

Arm 2: Participants undergoing coronary angiography for stable or acute coronary disease presentations and eligible for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) will be imaged with OCT-NIRAF following injection of LUMISIGHT. The primary objective is to assess the feasibility of intravascular detection and spatial localization of LUMISIGHT during routine coronary imaging.

Read the detailed description

Arm 1:

This study will provide preliminary data on the clinical value of intracoronary OCT-NIRAF imaging in participants undergoing invasive coronary angiography in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. This is a single site, prospective feasibility study where 40 study subjects undergoing coronary angiography for stable or acute coronary disease presentations and eligible for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) will undergo intravascular imaging, including standard-of-care IVUS and then OCT-NIRAF pullback imaging conducted during an iodinated contrast flush. Patients will be consented prior to catheterization. Participant characteristics such as age, sex, BMI, and current medication regimen will be recorded. Standard of care blood chemistry will be reviewed and lab values from the subject's electronic medical records will be input into the study's Case Report Form when available. A complete medical history and data regarding prescribed cardiac medications also be transcribed from the EMR into the CRF.

Coronary Angiography will be performed. For participants for whom coronary angiography provides a clinical indication for intravascular imaging or PCI without any exclusion criteria, 40 study participants will undergo intravascular imaging, including standard-of-care IVUS and then research study OCT-NIRAF pullback imaging, conducted during an iodinated contrast flush.

Intravascular imaging of the PCI target artery will be done prior to PCI unless the interventional cardiologist determines that intervention is required to deliver the imaging catheters. The other major coronary arteries may also be imaged by IVUS and OCT-NIRAF based on clinical assessment of the appropriateness of imaging by the interventional cardiologist.

In addition, participants will obtain a baseline coronary CTA at MGH, using standard clinical protocols in the MGH Department of Radiology.

Follow up imaging: After 12 months (+/- 28 days), participants will undergo a follow-up study coronary CTA, to assess for plaque progression compared to the baseline coronary CTA.

Follow up: Participants will undergo standard-of-care cardiology follow-up and medical record review follow-up by study staff at 1 month (+/- 7 days), 6 months (+/- 28 days), and 1 year (+/- 28 days). After completion of the CCTA and final telephone 12-month follow-up, patients will be released from the study.

Arm 2:

This study will provide preliminary data on the clinical value of intracoronary OCT-NIRAF imaging following LUMISIGHT injection in participants undergoing invasive coronary angiography in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. This is a single site, prospective feasibility study where 30 study subjects undergoing coronary angiography for stable or acute coronary disease presentations and eligible for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) will undergo intravascular imaging, including standard-of-care IVUS and then OCT-NIRAF pullback imaging conducted during an iodinated contrast flush. Patients will be consented prior to catheterization. Participant characteristics such as age, sex, BMI, and current medication regimen will be recorded. Standard of care blood chemistry will be reviewed and lab values from the subject's electronic medical records will be input into the study's Case Report Form when available. A complete medical history and data regarding prescribed cardiac medications also be transcribed from the EMR into the CRF.

LUMISIGHT injection will occur 2-12 hours prior to intravascular imaging procedure. Coronary Angiography will be performed. For participants for whom coronary angiography provides a clinical indication for intravascular imaging or PCI without any exclusion criteria, 30 study participants will undergo intravascular imaging, including standard-of-care IVUS and then research study OCT-NIRAF pullback imaging, conducted during an iodinated contrast flush.

Intravascular imaging of the PCI target artery will be done prior to PCI unless the interventional cardiologist determines that intervention is required to deliver the imaging catheters. The other major coronary arteries may also be imaged by IVUS and OCT-NIRAF based on clinical assessment of the appropriateness of imaging by the interventional cardiologist.

What is being measured

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

  1. Plaque size estimation using OCT-NIRAF

    Optically derived signatures (OCT-NIRAF) will be compared to plaque volume measured by CCTA at baseline.

    Measured: Data will be analyzed within 1 year after the procedure.

  2. Plaque progression estimate using OCT-NIRAF

    Changes in plaque volume will be measured by CCTA at baseline and after 1 year. Optically derived signatures (OCT-NIRAF) obtained at baseline will be compared to changes in plaque volume.

    Measured: Data will be analyzed within 1 year after the procedure.

  3. Feasibility of using LUMISIGHT/Pegulicianine NIRF to detect the inflammation-driven fluorescence

    The feasibility of using LUMISIGHT/Pegulicianine NIRF to detect the inflammation-driven fluorescence recorded via OCT-NIRAF catheters.

    Measured: Data will be analyzed within 1 year after the procedure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing OCT-NIRAF, LUMISIGHT Injection and OCT-NIRAF following LUMISIGHT Injection in people with Cardiovascular Diseases and Coronary Artery Disease, run by Massachusetts General Hospital at 1 site 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 5 inclusion and 27 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: enrolling by invitation, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Aug 2026. 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 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.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Plaque size estimation using OCT-NIRAF (time frame: Data will be analyzed within 1 year after the procedure.). The study lists 3 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 14 Aug 2026.
