About this trial

This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Coronary Artery Disease focused on measuring Regadenoson, Aminophylline, ASSUAGE, Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI)

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who have had a qualifying regadenoson stress myocardial perfusion imaging (regadenoson nuclear stress test).

Exclusion Criteria:

  • inability to provide an informed consent
  • known allergic reaction to aminophylline or regadenoson
  • systolic blood pressure < 90 mmHg
  • unstable abnormal heart rhythm
  • pulmonary edema
  • acute coronary symptoms, myocardial infarction within 48 hours
  • active dipyridamole, aminophylline or theophylline use
  • pregnancy
  • any contraindication to aminophylline according to the drug's package insert: uncontrolled seizure disorder, sepsis with multi-organ failure and liver impairment

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

ASSUAGE Protocol

Arm Description

There is only one arm in this cross-over design trial. Patients who had a standard regadenoson stress test will be invited to enroll in the study. All enrolled subjects will undergo an investigational (ASSUAGE) regadenoson stress test. Imaging scans from the same patients (scan 1 and scan 2) will be compared.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Summed Difference Score (SDS); a measure of size and severity of ischemia (heart muscle in jeopardy) detected with regadenoson nuclear stress of the heart (standard vs. ASSUAGE protocol).
The SDS produced with standard protocol will be compared to SDS produced with the modified (ASSUAGE) protocol. The study is set out to demonstrate that there is no significant difference in SDS between the two protocols within the same patients.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Agreement rate in the SDS burden category (normal/mild, moderate or severe)
Agreement rate in the SDS burden category (normal/mild, moderate or severe)between scan 1 and scan 2 will be compared to the agreement rate between 2 sets of images from scan 1. The study is set out to demonstrate that these agreement rates are not significantly different.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The investigators developed a modified regadenoson nuclear stress test of the heart that incorporates an aminophylline injection following regadenoson (The ASSUAGE protocol). The modified (ASSUAGE) protocol has been associated with fewer side effects and was better tolerated by patients. This study will investigate whether the modified regadenoson stress protocol (ASSUAGE) produces blood flow pattern to the heart similar to that of a standard regadenoson stress protocol. In proven to be the case, the ASSUAGE protocol has the potential to be used on a wide scale instead of the current standard protocol.
Detailed Description
Patients who had regadenoson stress nuclear stress test of the heart will be invited to return to undergo a modified nuclear stress using the modified (ASSUAGE) protocol. Images from the original scan will be compared to those from the second scan to determine whether the blood flow pattern is similar between the two scans.

Arm Description
There is only one arm in this cross-over design trial. Patients who had a standard regadenoson stress test will be invited to enroll in the study. All enrolled subjects will undergo an investigational (ASSUAGE) regadenoson stress test. Imaging scans from the same patients (scan 1 and scan 2) will be compared.
Intervention Type

Other Intervention Name(s)
Aminophylline
Intervention Description
75 mg of aminophylline injected intravenously 90 seconds following the radioisotope injection in the setting of regadenoson nuclear stress test of the heart.
Primary Outcome Measure Information:
Title
Summed Difference Score (SDS); a measure of size and severity of ischemia (heart muscle in jeopardy) detected with regadenoson nuclear stress of the heart (standard vs. ASSUAGE protocol).
Description
The SDS produced with standard protocol will be compared to SDS produced with the modified (ASSUAGE) protocol. The study is set out to demonstrate that there is no significant difference in SDS between the two protocols within the same patients.
Time Frame
The second (investigational) stress will be performed within 4 weeks from the intial one.
Secondary Outcome Measure Information:
Title
Agreement rate in the SDS burden category (normal/mild, moderate or severe)
Description
Agreement rate in the SDS burden category (normal/mild, moderate or severe)between scan 1 and scan 2 will be compared to the agreement rate between 2 sets of images from scan 1. The study is set out to demonstrate that these agreement rates are not significantly different.
Time Frame
within 4 weeks
Other Pre-specified Outcome Measures:
Title
Agreement rate in the size of blood flow abnormality category (none/small, moderate or large)
Description
Agreement rate in the SDS burden category (normal/mild, moderate or severe)between scan 1 and scan 2 will be compared to the agreement rate between 2 sets of images from scan 1. The study is set out to demonstrate that these agreement rates are not significantly different.
