Early Revascularization in Stable Ischemic Heart Disease Using P.E.T. Imaging

Not Applicable
Terminated
Conditions
Ischemic Heart Disease
Interventions
Procedure: Revascularization by Coronary Artery Bypass Graft or Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Registration Number
NCT05018247
Lead Sponsor
The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston
Brief Summary

To compare the impact of revascularization and Optimal Medical Treatment (OMT) on the extent of severely reduced coronary flow capacity in stable ischemic heart disease.

Detailed Description

The initial Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan will be performed as part of clinical practice. If the patient is a potential candidate for the study, the patient will be screened for inclusion and exclusion criteria. After being informed about the study potential risks, all patients giving written informed consent will be randomized into one of two groups: Urgent revascularization combined with Optimal Medical Treatment (OMT) or OMT with delayed revascularization. Following the initial PET scan, randomization and treatment, each group will undergo a second PET scan at the 3-4 month mark and a third PET scan at the one year mark. Some crossover may occur with the two groups. The OMT without urgent revascularization patients will remain in that group, if clinically stable, up to three months. At their first follow-up visit (Day 105±20), patients will be offered the option of continued medical treatment or elective revascularization consistent with informed patient preference and clinical judgement. Patients, in consultation with their physicians, may elect to undergo revascularization at any time thereafter.

Inclusion Criteria
  1. Age ≥ 18 years

  2. Stable ischemic heart disease as determined by an investigator.

  3. Areas of severely reduced CFC or relative stress images on the Rentrop diagnostic PET MPI consistent with clinical judgement as follows:

    • PETs with a defect on rest relative images of ≤60% of max for ≤5% of LV (no large scar) plus: i. ≥2% of LV with CFCblue* or ii. ≥10% of LV with CFCgreen* plus at least one pixel with CFCblue*

    *CFCblue is defined as a dipyridamole induced stress flow ≤ 0.83 ml/min/g of myocardium and a CFR ≤ 1.27. CFCgreen is defined as a dipyridamole induced stress flow ≤1.09 and >0.83 ml/min/g of myocardium and a CFR ≤1.60 and >1.27.

  4. Willing to comply with the follow-up schedule of the trial.

  5. Subject must sign the informed consent in English or Spanish.

Exclusion Criteria
  1. Any conditions that may compromise or prevent the necessary imaging requirements.
  2. Less than one-year life expectancy.
  3. Currently pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the course of the study.
  4. Any other issues that the Investigator believes may interfere with treatment or follow-up.
  5. Subjects who lack capacity to consent for themselves.

GroupInterventionDescription
Urgent revascularization with Optimal Medical TherapyRevascularization by Coronary Artery Bypass Graft or Percutaneous Coronary InterventionRevascularization will be performed via either Percutaneous Coronary Intervention or Coronary Artery Bypass Graft, and the selection of the specific procedure will be at the discretion of the patient and their physician(s). Patients will be followed for one year after randomization. Follow-up visits will occur at Baseline, Day 105, and Day 365. At each visit, a rest-stress PET assessment will be performed, and adverse events related to study procedures and cardiac disease will be captured.
Optimal Medical Treatment with delayed revascularizationRevascularization by Coronary Artery Bypass Graft or Percutaneous Coronary InterventionOMT without revascularization for a minimum of approximately 105 days if clinically stable. At their first follow-up visit (Day 105±20), patients will be offered the option of continued medical treatment or elective revascularization consistent with informed patient preference and clinical judgement. Patients, in consultation with their physicians, may elect to undergo revascularization at any time thereafter and will be followed for one year after randomization. Follow-up visits will occur at Baseline, Day 105, and Day 365. At each visit, a rest-stress PET assessment will be performed, and adverse events related to study procedures and cardiac disease will be captured.
