Absence of a Myocardial Perfusion Defect Excluding Significant CAD Per Participant on Gadobutrol-enhanced CMRI (Based on RPS) - Primary Analysis of Specificity Based on the Blinded Readers' Assessment

Study Overview

Brief Summary

Participants being evaluated for suspected or known Coronary artery Disease (CAD) based on signs and/or symptoms, will be invited to participate in the study. The duration for a participant in the study may range from 2 days to 4-6 weeks. One to four visits to the study doctor will be required.

This study will investigate the diagnostic results of gadobutrol-enhanced Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMRI) images regarding the detection (sensitivity) and exclusion (specificity) of coronary artery disease utilizing a uniform image acquisition software. The CMR images will be tested either against the results from routine clinical Coronary Angiography (CA) or those from Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA), which is used as the standard of reference. The CA/CTA may have been performed up to 4 weeks prior to enrollment or be scheduled up to 4/6 weeks after the study.

CMRI and CA/CTA images will be collected for an independent image review (blinded read).

Arms & Interventions

Experimental

Participants received gadobutrol at the total approved standard dose of 0.1 millimole per kilogram body weight (mmol/kg BW) in 2 separate bolus injections: 0.05 mmol/kg BW at peak pharmacologic stress and 0.05 mmol/kg BW at rest via a power injector.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Absence of a Myocardial Perfusion Defect Excluding Significant CAD Per Participant on Gadobutrol-enhanced CMRI (Based on RPS) - Primary Analysis of Specificity Based on the Blinded Readers' Assessment

Time Frame: 0 to 30/40 min post-injection

Blinded readers evaluated 6 myocardial regions based on regional perfusion score (RPS), 0=normal; 1=abnormal, reversible perfusion defect (stress); 2=abnormal, mixed perfusion defect (reversible and fixed/permanent components); 3=abnormal, fixed/permanent perfusion defect/scar (stress and rest)\]. A myocardial region a perfusion defect in case of a RPS of \>=1 and was rated to have normal perfusion in case of a RPS of 0. Significant CAD was defined as quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) stenosis of \>=50% for primary analysis, and was determined based on the presence of a myocardial perfusion defect on gadobutrol-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) verified by standard of reference (SoR). Specificity= true negative/ (true negative + false positive).
