Efficacy and Saftey Study of 99mTc-ECDG in the Evaluation of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study will compare how well a new radiolabeled imaging agent ECDG compares to the current testing for coronary artery disease (radiolabeled Sestamibi) during a rest and stress cardiac test as documented from results of a coronary angiogram (if performed).

Detailed Description
This study will be a prospective, open-label, multi-center study assessing the efficacy and safety of 99mTc-EC-DG compared to 99mTc-SPECT MPI imaging for detecting the presence, location, and severity of CAD as established by coronary angiography. Approximately 60 patients will be enrolled in the study.
Group 1 will be patients who have been evaluated for CAD within 3 to 30 days by any cardiovascular diagnostic imaging method (nuclear, ultrasound, CTA, MRI, etc.) and their physician has planned for coronary angiography but angiography has not yet been performed. In addition, the patient has not had coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). These patients can be enrolled.
Group 2 will be patients who have been evaluated for CAD within 3 to 30 days by any cardiovascular diagnostic imaging method (nuclear, ultrasound, CTA, MRI, etc.) and the patient has already had coronary angiography performed but has not received any coronary intervention subsequent to the procedure.
The following sequence of imaging procedures will be performed for both Group 1 and 2 patients: The first procedure will be a 99mTc-EC-DG rest study. This will be followed within 24 hours to 3 days with a 1-day protocol 99mTc-SPECT MPI rest/stress study. This will be followed within 24 hours to 3 days with a 99mTc-EC-DG stress study.
For both Group 1 and 2, if 1 of the diagnostic imaging procedures performed to evaluate the presence of CAD was a traditional 99mTc-SPECT MPI rest/stress study, this procedure must be repeated as 1 of the 3 SPECT imaging procedures required by the trial protocol.
The modality for provocative stress testing (exercise, pharmacologic, or exercise/pharmacologic) will be matched between the 99mTc-SPECT study and the 99mTc-EC-DG study. All prospectively performed 99mTc-EC-DG and 99mTc-SPECT studies will be conducted using regadenoson as the pharmacologic stress agent. All imaging studies (99mTc-EC-DG, 99mTc-SPECT, coronary angiography) will be over-read by blinded, trained reviewers. The consensus blinded read will determine and record the location of the CAD by relating the wall of the myocardium affected to include: anterior, Inferior, lateral, septal and apex. The angiography study will identify the arteries associated with the CAD; namely, left anterior descending, circumflex or right coronary arteries. The study will also determine the severity of the CAD by visually comparing the size and intensity of the ischemic signal on rest and stress images obtained approximately 15 and 60 minutes post injection.
The results from the consensus blinded read of coronary angiography will be considered truth for the presence, location, and severity of obstructive CAD and degree of stenosis.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Efficacy: Characterization of the efficacy of 99mTCc-ECDG in the evaluation of Coronary Artery Disease [Visit 1a through Visit 3 approximately 3 to 20 days]
1. Determine efficacy (sensitivity and specificity) of 99mTc-ED-DG: i. Compare efficacy of a rest and stress study at approximately 15 minutes post injection compared with efficacy of a standard 99mTc-SPECT rest/stress perfusion study for detecting the presence of CAD using invasive coronary angiography as the truth standard.* ii. Compare efficacy of a rest and stress study at approximately 60 minutes post injection compared with a standard 99mTc-SPECT rest/stress perfusion study for detecting the presence of CAD using invasive coronary angiography as the truth standard.* * Images will be displayed using the standard Cedars Sinai tomographic display software which projects images in the short axis, vertical long, and horizontal long axis displays.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Safety: The number of participants with Adverse Events [From screeniing through up to 14 days after last study related procedure]
Reported or observed Adverse Events
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Age > 18 years
-
Either of the following:
-
Standard 99mTc-SPECT perfusion rest/stress study completed within 30 days prior to screening and a coronary angiography study is clinically planned after the 99mTc-C-DG rest and stress visits in this study
-
Coronary angiography study planned or completed within 30 days of screening and no coronary intervention has been performed and willingness to complete a standard 99mTc-SPECT rest/stress study
-
The patient is able to provide informed consent to participate in this study
-
No change in medical therapy between study procedures.
Exclusion Criteria:
-
Known cardiomyopathy or history of congestive heart failure (CHF) due to left ventricular systolic dysfunction (ejection fraction < 40%)
-
Starting a new anti-anginal drug or performance of revascularization prior to completing the 99mTc-EC-DG rest and stress study visits
-
Contraindication for provocative stress testing based on American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) guidelines for exercise or pharmacologic testing
-
Intolerance or inability to receive sestamibi, tetrofosmin, or regadenoson, or an inability or unwillingness to exercise on a graded treadmill or receive pharmacologic stress
-
Inability to lie still for approximately 30 minutes during image acquisition

Women of childbearing potential, unless willing to use adequate contraception throughout the duration of the trial. Adequate contraception is considered hormonal contraception for > 3 months prior to entry, intrauterine device (IUD) in place for at least 3 months, double barrier methods (condoms, diaphragm or spermicide), abstinence, or a partner with non-reversed vasectomy > 40 days prior to entry.
