About this study

Official title: Functional Diagnostic Accuracy of Ultrasonic Flow Ratio in Assessment of De Novo Coronary Artery Lesions

This is a prospective, single-center study. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of offline computational ultrasonic flow ratio (UFR) with conventional pressure wire-based fractional flow reserve (FFR) as the standard reference. The study will be conducted in Fuwai Hospital, and a total of 408 patients with coronary vessel diameter stenosis ≥30% and ≤80% are planned to be recruited. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria and do not meet the exclusion criteria will undergo intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) followed by FFR examination. IVUS imaging will be sent to an independent core laboratory for UFR calculation. UFR analyses were performed offline in a blinded fashion without awareness of FFR measurement. Using FFR≤0.80 as the gold standard, the sensitivity and specificity of UFR in the functional significance of coronary artery stenosis will be analyzed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitivity and specificity of UFR in predicting functionally significant coronary stenosis at the patient level, using FFR as the reference standard

    Sensitivity is defined as the proportion of UFR ≤ 0.80 in patients with hemodynamically-significant stenosis as measured by FFR (FFR ≤ 0.80); specificity is defined as the proportion of UFR > 0.80 in patients without hemodynamically-significant stenosis as measured by FFR (FFR > 0.80).

    Measured: Immediately after the procedure

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Sensitivity and specificity of UFR in predicting functionally significant coronary stenosis at the vessel level, using FFR as the reference standard

    Sensitivity is defined as the proportion of UFR ≤ 0.80 in vessels with hemodynamically-significant stenosis as measured by FFR (FFR ≤ 0.80); specificity is defined as the proportion of UFR > 0.80 in vessels without hemodynamically-significant stenosis as measured by FFR (FFR > 0.8).

    Measured: Immediately after the procedure

  2. Diagnostic accuracy of UFR in predicting functionally significant coronary stenosis at the patient level, using FFR as the reference standard

    Diagnostic accuracy is defined as UFFR (≤0.80 or >0.80) to identify hemodynamically-significant coronary stenosis with FFR (≤0.8 or >0.8) as the reference standard.

    Measured: Immediately after the procedure

  3. The AUC of UFR for coronary stenosis with FFR as the gold standard

    AUC is defined as the area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve

    Measured: Immediately after the procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Stenosis, run by China National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases.

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 4 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 25 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Contact Jie Qian, MD (+8613601396650, qianjfw@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Sensitivity and specificity of UFR in predicting functionally significant coronary stenosis at the patient level, using FFR as the reference standard (time frame: Immediately after the procedure). 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 25 Sep 2023.
