Trial summary

The objective of this study is to determine whether myocardial contrast echocardiography in patients with cardiomyopathy (HCM) can detect resting hypo-perfusion due to fibrosis or stress induced perfusion defects due to associated abnormalities in intramyocardial arteries and the microcirculation.

About this study

The objective of this study is to determine whether myocardial contrast echocardiography in patients with cardiomyopathy (HCM) can detect resting hypo-perfusion due to fibrosis or stress induced perfusion defects due to associated abnormalities in intramyocardial arteries and the microcirculation. A secondary aim will be to determine whether abnormalities in perfusion are associated with either severity of symptoms (chest pain and dyspnea), presence of arrhythmias, and regional function of the septum.

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • Echo and myocardial contrast echocardiography perfusion imagingDrug

    Myocardial blood flow will be assessed by myocardial contrast echo. Perfusion at rest and stress will be quantified and compared to patient sx, degree of dysfunction on echo strain imaging, and degree of fibrosis on magnetic resonance imaging (when available) that was ordered as part of routine clinical care.

    Myocardial contrast echocardiography will be performed by intravenous administration of ultrasound contrast agent (Definity or Lumason) using FDA-approved dose limits. Vasodilator stress during MCE imaging will be performed using regadenoson at FDA-approved doses.

Study groups in NCT02560467
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Patients with HCMExperimentalThis is a prospective, non-blinded single center study. Subjects with known HCM with variant will be recruited. MCE at rest and during vasodilator stress will be performed. Full echocardiography including for diastolic function and regional strain imaging will also be performed. Patient history and questionnaires will be used for evaluation of symptoms and arrhythmias.

What is being measured

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

  1. Myocardial perfusion (ml/min/g) in the hypertrophied segment on myocardial contrast echo

    Myocardial contrast echo will be used to measure myocardial perfusion in ml/min/g of tissue in the hypertrophied segment. The data will be analyzed both in terms of absolute value of ml/min/g and also as a ration to normal tissue.

    Measured: One hour

  2. Myocardial blood flow reserve in the hypertrophied segment on myocardial contrast echo

    Myocardial blood flow reserve on myocardial contrast echo (ratio of flow during hyperemia to rest) will be calculated for the hypertrophied segment and expressed as an absolute value and relative to normal segments.

    Measured: One hour

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Spatial distribution of blood flow on myocardial contrast echocardiography

    Myocardial contrast echocardiography performed at baseline will be analyzed using mathematical algorithms that define how "homogenous" or "heterogenous" blood flow distribution is in the hypertrophied segment. These values will be described by wavelet energy levels (dimensionless).

    Measured: One hour

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Echo and myocardial contrast echocardiography perfusion imaging in people with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, run by Oregon Health and Science University 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 2 inclusion and 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jun 2019. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Myocardial perfusion (ml/min/g) in the hypertrophied segment on myocardial contrast echo (time frame: One hour). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02560467, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 6 Jun 2019.
