Artifact-Free High-Resolution Myocardial Perfusion MRI in Subjects With Abnormal Nuclear Myocardial Perfusion Studies

August 16, 2018 updated by: Daniel S. Berman

Artifact-Free High-resolution Myocardial Perfusion MRI in Subjects With Abnormal Nuclear Myocardial Perfusion Studies

This is a pilot study in a patient population with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) as defined by the presence of a prior abnormal nuclear (PET/SPECT) myocardial perfusion scan. In this study design, PET/SPECT will serve as the comparative standard for presence of myocardial ischemia. We intend to determine the accuracy of an improved magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique for detection of myocardial ischemia in subjects with suspected CAD.

This is not a study to specifically evaluate the efficacy or safety of the drugs but rather the diagnostic performance of the improved cardiac MRI procedure.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

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

A total of two imaging protocols will be used as "protocol options" in this study (only one of the protocols will be used for each enrolled subject): (1) "Two-day protocol," which involves MRI of subjects who have had a recent abnormal PET/SPECT study and includes an optional second-day visit; (2) "One-day protocol," which involves the subjects undergoing stress myocardial perfusion SPECT and MRI in the same day.

Two blinded readers will interpret MR and SPECT/PET studies by consensus to assess the presence of perfusion deficits at stress and rest.

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)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Clinically indicated nuclear myocardial perfusion (PET/SPECT) study with mild to moderate ischemia or prior myocardial infarction AND a visual scan interpretation of definitely abnormal AND no intervening revascularization since the prior study; or,
  • Clinically stable individuals with suspected or known coronary artery disease on the basis of coronary angiography.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • < 18 years of age
  • Hypotension (systolic blood pressure <100 mm Hg)
  • Significant non-coronary cardiac disease (e.g. severe valvular abnormality, significant cardiomyopathy, etc.)
  • Persons unable to successfully pass MRI health and safety screening
  • Persons whose renal function test does not meet CSMC standard of care MRI contrast protocol requirements (GFR <45 ml/min based on serum creatinine, age, gender, and ethnicity).
  • Subjects with contraindications to or intolerance of regadenoson.
  • Persons with an allergy to gadolinium-based contrast.
  • Persons with a history of kidney or liver disease.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.

Other: Suspected coronary artery disease (CAD)

This pilot study has a single arm/group of subjects with suspected CAD based on the following inclusion criteria:

  1. Prior nuclear myocardial perfusion scan (PET/SPECT) with a visual interpretation of definitely abnormal, or prior myocardial infarction; or,
  2. Clinically stable individuals with suspected coronary artery disease on the basis of coronary angiography.

The study protocol involved only a myocardial perfusion MRI procedure for detection of ischemia (perfusion deficits) using an improved protocol with the administration of a vasodilator drug (Regadenoson/Lexiscan®) and gadolinium-based MRI contrast agent (Optimark®; dose: 0.2 mmol/kg). Lexiscan® was used off-label as a vasodilator drug during the MRI scan (0.4 mg/5mL) supplied by the manufacturer, Astellas Pharma U.S.
Drug: regadenoson
Lexiscan® is being used off-label. The FDA Issued IND # is 119898. For the cardiac MRI, Lexiscan® will be used at the same dosage and administration as prescribed in the package insert - 5 mL (0.4 mg regadenoson) as packaged and supplied by the manufacturer, Astellas Pharma U.S., in single-use pre-filled syringes administered by rapid intravenous injection, followed immediately by saline flush.
Other Names:
  • Lexiscan®
Drug: Optimark®
For the cardiac MR, the contrast agent, Optimark® is administered as a bolus peripheral intravenous injection at a dose of 0.2 mL/kg (0.1 mmol/kg) and at a rate of 1 to 2 mL/sec delivered by manual injection.
Other Names:
  • gadoversetamide
  • gadolinium
  • MRI contrast agent
  • gadolinium contrast
Device: Myocardial perfusion MRI
Other Names:
  • magnetic resonance imaging
  • ischemia
  • cardiac blood flow
  • perfusion

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Diagnostic Performance (Specificity and Sensitivity) for Detection of Myocardial Perfusion Deficits on Magnetic Resonance (MR) Images
Time Frame: Baseline only
In this study, the approach is to use nuclear myocardial perfusion (prior PET/SPECT scans for the enrolled patients) as the comparative standard for detection of myocardial ischemia (presence of perfusion deficits). Using this approach, the acquired MR images will be analyzed to determine the diagnostic performance (specificity and sensitivity) of the improved MRI technique for detection of myocardial perfusion deficits.
