About this study

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.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of Participants With Diagnostic Accuracy of CCTA Plus FFRCT and CCTA Alone

    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.

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Diagnostic Performance of CCTA Plus FFRCT at the Subject Level

    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.

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing FFR in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by HeartFlow, Inc. at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 17 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Feb 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Jan 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of Participants With Diagnostic Accuracy of CCTA Plus FFRCT and CCTA Alone (time frame: 1 day). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01233518, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Feb 2021.
