Utility of a Molecular Personalized Coronary Gene Expression Test (Corus CAD or ASGES) on Cardiology Practice Pattern (IMPACT-CARD)

January 29, 2019 updated by: CardioDx

Investigation of a Molecular Personalized Coronary Gene Expression Test on Cardiology Practice Pattern

To investigate whether the use of Corus CAD (Age/Sex/Gene Expression score - ASGES) blood assay changes the diagnostic testing pattern in patients referred to a cardiologist for the evaluation of chest pain or anginal equivalent symptoms.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

A prospective cohort of 88 subjects receiving the Corus CAD (Age/Sex/Gene Expression score - ASGES) assay were compared to a retrospective cohort of 83 subjects that did not receive the assay.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Prospective Cohort
Patient presenting with chest pain or anginal equivalent and receiving a resulted age, sex and gene expression score (ASGES) to assist in diagnosis.
Age/Sex/Gene Expression Score - ASGES
Retrospective Cohort
Patients presenting with chest pain or anginal equivalent who did not receive an age, sex and gene expression score (ASGES) to assist in diagnosis. Note: this cohort was historical.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in management practice pattern between preliminary and after Corus CAD (ASGES) decision
Time Frame: Up to 7 days

Change in management pattern comparing the preliminary and after Corus CAD (ASGES) decision will be measured by the number of subjects with medical management downgrade or upgrade within the following predefined categories:

  1. No further cardiac testing or treatment
  2. Medical therapy for angina or non-cardiac chest pain
  3. Stress testing with or without imaging
  4. CT angiography
  5. Invasive cardiac catheterization
Up to 7 days
Change in management practice pattern between after Corus CAD decision and historical cohort.
Time Frame: up to 195 days

Change in management pattern comparing the Corus CAD (ASGES) driven decision and the historical cohort ill be measured by the number of subjects with medical management downgrade or upgrade within the following predefined categories:

  1. No further cardiac testing or treatment
  2. Medical therapy for angina or non-cardiac chest pain
  3. Stress testing with or without imaging
  4. CT angiography
  5. Invasive cardiac catheterization
up to 195 days
