About this study
Official title: Quantification of Myocardial Blood Flow by 3D Positron Emission Tomography With High and Low Rate Rb82 Infusion Profiles
The investigators seek to test bolus infusions (50ml/min) vs. slow infusions (20 ml/min) of Rb-82 on metrics of coronary blood flow assessed on a modern 3D PET/CT.
Read the detailed description
As perfusion metrics in the healthy volunteers, patients with risk factors and/or coronary artery disease and in tissue with transmural myocardial infarctions has been well defined AND same day test-retest variability minutes apart using a bolus infusion is ±10%, the investigators shall test 3 hypotheses. The first hypothesis is repeated same day test-retest coefficient of variation (COV) of whole heart rMBF and sMBF acquired using a bolus infusion profile (50 mls/min) on a modern 3D PET scanner falls within ± 10%. The second hypothesis is repeated same day test-retest COV of whole heart rMBF and sMBF acquired using a slow infusion activity profile (20 mls/min) on a modern 3D PET scanner falls within ± 10%. The third hypothesis is COV of whole heart rMBF and sMBF between bolus and slow activity profiles is ± 10% where the bolus is considered the standard on a modern 3D PET scanner.
The investigators will test the different activity profiles on 3 distinct populations:
- Healthy volunteers
- Clinical volunteers with risk factors and/or CAD
- Volunteers with clinical infarcts.
- Conditions
- Normal Healthy Volunteers Without Chronic Medical Conditions, Coronary Artery Disease, Cardiac Risk Factors, Myocardial Infarction
- Being tested
- Slow Infusion of Rubidium-82
- Medical subject headings
- Coronary Artery Disease, Myocardial Infarction

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Slow Infusion of Rubidium-82 in people with Normal Healthy Volunteers Without Chronic Medical Conditions and Coronary Artery Disease, run by Ochsner Health System 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 15 inclusion and 14 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 18 Jan 2023. 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?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
Resting and stress whole heart myocardial blood flow using the bolus infusion profile of Rubidium-82 (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 NCT05286593, which also lists 14 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.
