Detailed Description

The "Coronary Evaluation Using Multidetector Spiral Computed Tomography Angiography using 64 Detectors" or "CorE-64" study was designed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of multislice spiral CT angiography using 64 detector rows for identifying coronary artery stenosis in patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease. The study was designed as a prospective, multi-center, international, blinded study examining the diagnostic accuracy of 64-slice CT in comparison with CCA. The primary hypothesis of the study is that 64-slice CT coronary angiography will be able to detect significant coronary artery disease in a patient with acceptable diagnostic accuracy as compared to CCA. Significant CAD is defined as ≥ 50% stenosis as determined by quantitative analysis of CCA (QCA). The diagnostic parameters is per-patient sensitivity and specificity compared with CCA, with both point estimates and continuous measurements of diagnostic accuracy. Eligible patients will first undergo MDCT (calcium scanning and MDCTA)prior to clinically indicated conventional coronary angiography. Patients with CAC 600 or less will be included in the primary analysis. Patients will be followed for clinical events including revascularization.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

40 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Diagnostic Accuracy to detect significant coronary artery disease in an individual patient.
Time Frame: 30 Days
30 Days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
October 1, 2005

Primary Completion (ACTUAL)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
