About this study

Official title: Dual Imaging Using High-definition Intravascular Ultrasound and Optical Coherence Tomography to Guide Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Both intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) are standardly used and have been extensively studied separately to guide percutaneous coronary intervention and improve long-term outcomes. In this study, the investigators aim to directly compare high-definition IVUS images to OCT in the same patients to determine the differences between each modality as they relate to imaging coronary pathology, with the goal of determining which modality is most appropriate in particular clinical scenarios.

Read the detailed description

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is an imaging modality that uses ultrasound waves to allow for detailed evaluation of coronary atherosclerotic plaques and the vascular response to coronary interventional devices to guide stent placement during percutaneous coronary intervention. Current conventional IVUS catheters emit ultrasound waves ranging from 20-40 megahertz (mHz), and more recently released high-definition IVUS catheters emit sound waves at 60 mHz, allowing for better image quality, quantitative accuracy, and precision in measurements.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an alternative imaging modality used for similar purposes as IVUS, using a single optical fiber that emits infrared light to image the coronary artery. OCT uses light in the infrared spectrum with a central wavelength between 1,250 and 1,350 nm. Axial resolution with OCT is 10-20 microns, whereas it is typically 100-200 microns with IVUS. Thus, OCT allows for better image resolution, but this comes at the expense of tissue penetration.

What participants receive

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

  • Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)Procedure or surgery

    Also called OCT

    Procedure will be performed using the OCT Dragonfly catheter is a hydrophilic-coated catheter that uses infrared light with a central wavelength between 1,250 and 1,350 nm. Axial resolution with OCT is 10-20 microns, and maximum tissue penetration with OCT is approximately 1.5 mm-3 mm.

  • Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS)Procedure or surgery

    Also called IVUS

    Procedure will be performed using the IVUS Kodama catheter is a hydrophilic-coated catheter that used high-fidelity ultrasound transmission to capture high-definition images of coronary artery anatomy. It uses ultrasound waves with a frequency of 40 or 60 MHz, as opposed to 20 MHz in conventional IVUS, to improve resolution while optimizing tissue penetration. It provides axial resolution of < 40 microns and tissue penetration of 10 mm.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), run by Columbia 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 1 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 Mar 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Slow enrollment). 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?

Lumen area (time frame: Up to 1 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?
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 Mar 2021.
