Drug: Sulfur Hexafluoride Lipid Type A Microspheres 25 MG Injection Powder for Suspension [LUMASON]
Registration Number
NCT06400004
Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

A phase III study designed as a randomized, within-patient comparison of continuous infusion of diluted Lumason® versus the bolus administration of undiluted Lumason® for degree of LVO and assessment of LV EBD (co-primary endpoints).

Detailed Description

This is a phase III study designed as a randomized, within-patient comparison of continuous infusion of diluted Lumason® versus the bolus administration of undiluted Lumason® for degree of LVO and assessment of LV EBD (co-primary endpoints). The study will enroll patients with suboptimal LV EBD defined as ≥2 adjacent segments in any apical view that cannot be visualized at pre-contrast echocardiogram.

106
Inclusion Criteria
  • Are at least 18-years old;
  • Have suboptimal LV EBD, defined as ≥2 adjacent segments in any apical view that cannot be visualized, at pre-contrast echocardiogram;
  • Provide their written informed consent and are willing to comply with protocol requirements.
Exclusion Criteria
  • Patient has severe congestive heart failure (class IV according to the classification of the New York Heart Association);
  • Patient has uncontrolled angina (i.e., uncontrolled on medication);
  • Patient had a recent myocardial infarction (within the last 3 days and not stabilized);
  • Patient has severe arrhythmia, that in the opinion of the Investigator, would interfere with the study conduct;
  • Patient has severe pulmonary hypertension, that in the opinion of the Investigator, would interfere with the study conduct;
  • Patient had been treated with any other contrast medium, either intravascular or orally, within 48 hours prior to the first administration;
  • Has any known allergy to one or more of the ingredients of the investigational product;
  • Is pregnant or lactating. Exclude the possibility of pregnancy by: testing on site (serum or urine βHCG) prior to the start of investigational product administration; surgical history (e.g., tubal ligation or hysterectomy); post-menopausal with a minimum 1 year without menses;
  • Has previously entered the study or have received any other investigational drug within 30 days prior to admission in this study;
  • Is determined by the Investigator that the patient is clinically unsuitable for the study.
