PCCT-Defined High-Risk Plaque and Future Coronary Events: The PREDICT Study (PREDICT)
Prognostic Value of Photon-Counting Detector CT-Derived High-Risk Coronary Plaque Features for Predicting Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events: a Prospective Cohort Study
Descripción general del estudio
Estado
Descripción detallada
Photon-Counting Detector CT (PCCT) enables improved spatial resolution and spectral tissue characterization, allowing non-invasive detection of high-risk coronary plaque (HRP) features such as low-attenuation plaque (<30 HU), positive remodeling (index ≥1.1), spotty calcification, and the napkin-ring sign. The presence of ≥2 of these features defines a PCCT-detected high-risk plaque. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), an invasive high-resolution imaging tool, defines HRP by thin-cap fibroatheroma (fibrous cap thickness <65 μm, lipid arc >90°) and other vulnerable features. While OCT provides detailed information on plaque vulnerability, it is invasive and limited to selected vessels. The prognostic significance of PCCT-defined HRP, and its diagnostic agreement with OCT, remain to be fully established.
This prospective, single-centre study will enroll patients with acute or stable coronary syndromes who are scheduled for clinically indicated invasive coronary angiography and OCT evaluation of at least one native coronary artery. All participants will first undergo a dedicated contrast-enhanced PCCT coronary angiogram. Within 30 days after PCCT, participants will undergo invasive coronary angiography with OCT imaging. Thus, OCT is systematically acquired after the CT, allowing a cross-sectional diagnostic comparison where PCCT findings are evaluated against the OCT reference. Both imaging datasets will be analyzed by independent core laboratories blinded to each other's results and to clinical data.
The study has two integrated components:
- Prognostic component - The primary objective is to assess whether the presence of PCCT-defined HRP independently predicts the 2-year incidence of MACE (cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, hospitalization for unstable angina requiring urgent revascularization). The primary hypothesis is that MACE rate is significantly higher in patients with PCCT-HRP than in those without.
- Cross-sectional diagnostic comparison - Using OCT as the invasive reference, the diagnostic performance of PCCT for identifying high-risk plaque will be determined. Per-patient and per-lesion sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and overall accuracy of PCCT will be calculated and compared with OCT-derived high-risk plaque classification.
Participants will be followed prospectively for MACE and unplanned revascularization over 24 months.

Cohortes e Intervenciones
Grupo / Cohorte |
|---|
|
PCCT High-Risk Plaque Group
Participants with PCCT-defined high-risk plaque in at least one native coronary artery.
High-risk plaque is defined as the presence of ≥2 of the following features on PCCT: low-attenuation plaque (<30 Hounsfield Units), positive remodeling (remodeling index ≥1.1),
spotty calcification (<3 mm), and the napkin-ring sign.
|
|
PCCT Non-High-Risk Plaque Group
Participants without PCCT-defined high-risk plaque (0 or 1 high-risk feature) in any imaged coronary segment.
