Use of Lexiscan for Myocardial Stress Perfusion Computed Tomography With a 3rd Generation Dual Source CT System

Phase 2

Completed

• Conditions: Cardiovascular Diseases; Coronary Artery Disease
• Interventions: Drug: Lexiscan

• Registration Number: NCT03103061
• Lead Sponsor: Medical University of South Carolina

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, tolerability, safety, and image quality of low-radiation, dynamic perfusion CT of the heart in patients with suspected ischemic chest pain and a moderate or severe stenosis seen on coronary CTA. Secondary aims include the assessment of the diagnostic accuracy of CT perfusion imaging compared to either SPECT or invasive angiography.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Myocardial Stress CT Perfusion	Lexiscan	Low-radiation, dynamic perfusion CT of the heart in patients with suspected ischemic chest pain and a moderate or severe stenosis seen on coronary CTA. Lexiscan(TM) will be used as the pharmacological stress agent (coronary vasodilator).

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number of Treatment-related Adverse Events	30 days +/- 3 days	Demonstrate that CTA with stress and rest perfusion imaging using Lexiscan as the coronary vasodilator will be safe and well tolerated.; This outcome measure data value represents the number of adverse events that occurred during this study.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Diagnostic Accuracy Using Quantitative Objective Image Quality Assessment	Immediately following CT perfusion imaging.	Assess the diagnostic accuracy of CT perfusion imaging compared to either SPECT or invasive angiography.
