CMR or Angiography for FFR-guided Revascularisation (CRAFT-MI)

June 7, 2022 updated by: Martin Ugander, Karolinska Institutet

CMR or Angiography for FFR-guided Revascularisation in ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction

Around 50% of patients that present with ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) have residual disease in the non-culprit lesions. If the residual disease should be treated, what should guide intervention? Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) has been proposed as a guide for intervention, however new developments in cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) allows for non-invasive FFR measurements.

If FFR from CMR can predict physiological significant stenosis as good as FFR from invasive angiography, unnecessary invasive producers can be avoided in patients with STEMI.

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

Early reperfusion of epicardial coronaries is essential for salvage of ischemic myocardium, reducing both morbidity and mortality in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Current European Society of Cardiology guidelines recommend percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of the infarct related artery (IRA) for patients presenting with STEMI, with residual disease initially being treated conservatively. Large meta-analyses of observational studies have shown that PCI of the IRA only results in a reduced mortality compared to full revascularization in patients with STEMI and simultaneous multivessel disease. However, recent small randomized controlled trials indicate that full revascularization reduces morbidity, but have been underpowered to show any reduction in mortality. Furthermore, physiological guidance of coronary intervention by fractional flow reserve (FFR) reduces mortality compared to angiography guided PCI in both stable angina and non-STEMI (NSTEMI). However, if performing full revascularization guided by FFR in patients with STEMI improves clinical outcome, compared to initial conservative approach is not known.

Assessment of myocardial perfusion in rest and during pharmacological stress is widely used for non-invasive diagnosis of myocardial ischemia, where cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has a high diagnostic accuracy. Newly developed first pass perfusion imaging with cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) allows for quantification of myocardial perfusion, and CMR derived FFR. However, it is currently not known if FFR from CMR and invasive angiography correlate with each other. If FFR from CMR can predict physiological significant stenosis as good as FFR from invasive angiography, unnecessary invasive producers can be avoided in patients with STEMI.

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)

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
The agreement between CMR-derived FFR and FFR from angiography
Time Frame: Measurements will be collected within 1-2 days of each other.
FFR will be measured with CMR on day one. FFR will be measured with invasive angiography on the following day. The FFR acquired with both methods will be compared with Pearson's correlation coefficient and Bland-Altman analysis. The aim of the study is to validate the agreement between CMR-derived FFR with FFR from angiography as the independent reference standard.
Measurements will be collected within 1-2 days of each other.
