Comparison of Intravenous Adenosine Infusion With Regadenoson Bolus for Inducing Maximal Coronary Hyperemia

June 22, 2017 updated by: Michael J. Lim, St. Louis University

Utilization of Lexiscan (Regadenoson)in the Cardiac Catheterization Lab to Achieve Maximal Hyperemia for Coronary Physiologic Assessment With Fractional Flow Reserve

The purpose of this study is to determine if regadenoson is as safe and effective as adenosine when used in the cardiac catheterization lab during measurement of coronary flow reserve and fractional flow reserve. The study hypothesis is the assessment of Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) in the catheterization lab can be performed with equivalent accuracy when hyperemia is induced with IV Regadenoson compared with IV Adenosine without compromising patient safety.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Patients with clinical indications to be assessed by fractional flow reserve (FFR) will be included. Following diagnostic angiography in the catheterization lab, the patient will have a guide catheter placed in the artery to be assessed followed by placing a pressure guidewire down the coronary vessel and past the lesion of interest. FFR will be measured in the traditional manner, with intravenous adenosine infusing at 140 mcg/kg/min until maximal steady state hyperemia is reached. At this point, the FFR will be recorded as Pd (distal pressure from the pressure wire in the coronary artery) divided by Pa (proximal pressure from the guide catheter). The adenosine infusion will then be stopped and the patient's hemodynamics allowed to return to baseline. Once baseline state is again achieved, an intravenous bolus of regadenson (0.4 mg) will be given and FFR will be remeasured as the lowest steady state Pd/Pa. Patients will be enrolled at two sites, The University of Florida - where FFR will be measured alone, and Saint Louis University, where coronary flow will be measured simultaneously to evaluate the effect of regadenoson on coronary flow velocity as compared to adenosine. The primary endpoint of the study will be to compare the FFR achieved with adeonsine to that obtained with regadenoson.

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

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Experimental: Adenosine then Regadenoson
Adenosine infusion will be compared to Regadenoson for efficacy and safety/side effects. Arterial blood pressure, coronary pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation and coronary flow, FFR, and coronary flow velocity will be assessed. Safety will be assessed by monitoring for any side effects such as chest pain, headache, flushing, nausea, or arrhythmias. Adenosine infusion will be administered at 140 mcg/kg for 2 minutes and once mean coronary flow velocity returns to within 15% of pre-dose value, Regadenoson IV bolus 0.4 mg/5 ml will be administered followed by a 5 cc normal saline flush.
