Conditions
Coronary Artery Disease
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT06348524
Lead Sponsor
Transmed Solutions
Brief Summary

There are no current alternatives to diagnostic contrast-requiring imaging for patients with an eGFR \<30mL/min due to the association of gadolinium-based imaging modalities to nephrogenic systemic fibrosis and iodinated contrast-induced kidney injury. Ferumoxytol-enhanced imaging may offer an alternative approach.

Detailed Description

This is a case control study which will assess the resolution by which the coronary arteries can be visualized using ferumoxytol-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance angiography (fcMRA) in patients with prior regional cardiac ischemia localized by stress-induced echocardiography. Resolution will be compared to invasive coronary arteriography completed in all patients that will be analyzed at the end of the study.

Masked experts will interpret fcMRA images to determine if coronary stenosis is present or absent. By strict definitions, this is a single-arm study. However comparison will be made between fcMRA and invasive coronary arteriography performed in each patient. With a prevalence of disease of approximately 0.35 in the study population, it is anticipated that both sensitivity and specificity of fcMRA to identify the absence of coronary artery stenosis can be calculated.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Detect the absence of ≥50% stenosis in the coronary artery tree12 months

This outcome derives from the central hypothesis which states that coronary artery disease can more effectively be excluded in patients with severe chronic kidney disease using ferumoxtyol enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance angiography (fcMRA) rather than non-invasive cardiac testing combined with ICA. The presence or absence of a single 50% stenosis in the region of interest (measured as described above) will be dichotomized (0=absent/ 1= present) from each of the two measures, fcMRA and invasive coronary arteriography

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Compare ferumoxtyol enhanced magnetic resonance angiography with stress echocardiography12 months

The purpose of this secondary outcome is to determine the sensitivity and specificity of fcMRA to dobutamine stress echocardgiography testing in the assessment of coronary artery stenosis when compared to ICA.

Detect stenosis in proximal and distal segments of the coronary artery tree12 months

The purpose of this secondary outcome is to determine the sensitivity and specificity of fcMRA to detect the absence of lesions exhibiting ≥50% stenosis compared to ICA in proximal and distal arterial segments
