  • General Exclusion Criteria
  • Subjects who are unable or unwilling to sign the informed consent form

  • Lesion located in the left main coronary artery
  • Lesions that are heavily calcified
  • Lesions where OCT cannot be performed due to technical difficulties
  • Other lesions that the investigator deems inappropriate for the procedure such as lesions with excessive tortuosity, presence of thrombus, low flow by TIMI grade.

About this study

The purpose of this study is to learn more about lipid rich plaque using Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS)/Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) imaging in patients who have had coronary artery stenting and Optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging.

Read the detailed description

The aims of this study are to:

  1. Test the ability of the new NIRS IVUS system to detect lipid pool
  2. Evaluate the accuracy of the NIRS IVUS system for localization of lipide rich plaque: superficial vs deep
  3. Improve diagnostic accuracy of OCT for detection of lipid using information from NIRS IVUS
Being tested
InfraReDx Lipiscan IVUS

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

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

  1. Detection of Lipid Rich Plaque by Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS)

    Subjects are presenting for their clinically-indicated cardiac catheterization. NIRS/IVUS imaging will be done at the time of catheterization.

    Measured: Measured one point in time during cardiac catheterization

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Differences in NIRS Parameters Between Deep and Superficial Lipid Assessed by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT).

    Subjects are presenting for their clinically-indicated cardiac catheterization. NIRS/IVUS imaging will be done at the time of catheterization. Plaques were divided depending on depth of lipid by OCT (cut off value 130 um).

    Measured: Measured at the time of cardiac catheterization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing InfraReDx Lipiscan IVUS in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Massachusetts General Hospital 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 25 inclusion and 0 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Nov 2013. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Oct 2013). 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?

Detection of Lipid Rich Plaque by Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) (time frame: Measured one point in time during cardiac catheterization). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 18 Nov 2013.
