Evaluate Effect of Optison on Pulmonary Artery Systolic Pressure (PASP) and Pulmonary Vascular Resistance (PVR).

July 19, 2012 updated by: GE Healthcare

A Phase 4, Placebo Controlled, Single-blind, Cross-over Safety Study to Evaluate the Effect of Optison on Pulmonary Artery Systolic Pressure (PASP) and Pulmonary Vascular Resistance (PVR) as Measured by Right Heart Catheterization

The design of this study is to conduct a comprehensive safety evaluation of the pulmonary hemodynamic effects of Optison. The study is being conducted in subjects referred for cardiac catheterization for clinical reasons.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Must be already scheduled for left and/or right heart catheterization for clinical reasons.
  • Must be in sinus rhythm, without an arrhythmia likely to affect the ability to assess pulmonary hemodynamics by catheterization, as determined by the investigator.
  • Women of childbearing potential must be using adequate birth control and have a negative pregnancy test.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of right-to-left, bi-directional, or transient right-to-left cardiac shunts or diagnosed by color flow Doppler echocardiography during screening.
  • Hypersensitivity to Optison, perflutren, blood, blood products, or albumin.
  • Female subjects who are nursing mothers.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Observed the Change of Pulmonary Artery Systolic Pressure (PASP) Measured by Millimeters of Mercury (mm hg) Within Certain Time Periods. This is Per Sequence and Not a Cross-over Study.
Time Frame: Measurements recorded at Baseline, 2 minutes, 6 minutes and 10 minutes post contrast administration
Measurement of the Pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) results, which were taken from the subject in millimeters of mercury; a unit of pressure (mm hg), at Baseline and at 2 minutes, 6 minutes and 10 minutes. This is per sequence and not a cross-over study.
Measurements recorded at Baseline, 2 minutes, 6 minutes and 10 minutes post contrast administration
Observed the Change of Pulmonary Vascular Resistance (PVR) Measured by Wood Units Within Certain Time Periods. This is Per Sequence and Not a Cross-over Study.
Time Frame: Measurements recorded at Baseline, 2 minutes, 6 minutes and 10 minutes post contrast administration
Measurement of the pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) results, which was taken from the subject in Wood Units, taken at Baseline and at 2 minutes, 6 minutes and 10 minutes. This is per sequence and not a cross-over study.
Measurements recorded at Baseline, 2 minutes, 6 minutes and 10 minutes post contrast administration

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Recorded Any Adverse Events From the Optison and Control Solution (5% Dextrose) Used in Subjects With Normal and Elevated Pulmonary Artery Systolic Pressure (PASP. This is Per Sequence and Not a Cross-over Study.
Time Frame: During the injection and catheterization procedure, and for up to 24 hours post-injection

Observe subjects with normal pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) and elevated pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) as measured by any adverse events.

The number of participants were stratified based on a screening pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP). Subjects stratified by; 11 subjects that were Normal PASP and 19 subjects that were Elevated PASP.

This is per sequence and not a cross-over study.

During the injection and catheterization procedure, and for up to 24 hours post-injection
