Determination of Fractional Flow Reserve by Anatomic Computed Tomographic Angiography (DeFACTO)

January 20, 2021 updated by: HeartFlow, Inc.
This is a prospective, multi-center trial conducted at up to 20 US, Canadian, European and Asian centers designed to determine the diagnostic performance of CT-FLOW (the investigational technology) by coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) for non-invasive assessment of the hemodynamic significance of coronary lesions, as compared to direct measurement of fractional flow reserve (FFR) during cardiac catheterization as a reference standard.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants With Diagnostic Accuracy of CCTA Plus FFRCT and CCTA Alone
Time Frame: 1 day
Diagnostic accuracy of CCTA (Cardiac Computed Tomography Angiography) plus FFRCT (Noninvasive Fractional Flow Reserve computed from CCTA) to determine presence or absence of at least one hemodynamically (HD)-significant coronary artery stenosis* at the subject level using binary outcomes when compared to invasive FFR (Fractional Flow Reserve) as the reference standard. In the per-patient analysis, vessels with the most adverse clinical status were selected to represent a given patient. FFR and FFRCT measurements were recorded on a continuous scale and dichotomized at the 0.80 threshold (values ≤0.80 considered diseased; values >0.80 nondiagnostic for ischemia). Stenosis on CCTA was recorded at the 50% threshold (stenoses ≥50% considered obstructive and <50% as non-significant). Prespecified primary endpoint was expected to be greater than 70% of the lower bound of the 95% confidence interval.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Diagnostic Performance of CCTA Plus FFRCT at the Subject Level
Time Frame: 1 day
Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of CCTA plus CT-FLOW at the subject level using binary outcomes when compared to FFR as the reference standard.
