What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether a software program called ElucidVivo can accurately predict blood flow blockages in the heart using images from a standard CT scan. The software analyzes plaque buildup in the coronary arteries to estimate a value called FFRct, which indicates how much a blockage restricts blood flow. Researchers compare the software's estimates to the actual invasive FFR measurements taken during a catheter procedure in adults with coronary artery disease. If the software proves reliable, it might offer a less invasive way to diagnose significant blockages.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
ElucidVivo, a software that analyzes coronary CT scans to estimate blood flow blockage
What this could lead to
If accurate, this software could help doctors identify significant coronary artery blockages from a CT scan, potentially reducing the need for invasive catheter procedures.
What could go wrong
The trial is testing diagnostic accuracy, not treatment outcomes. The software may not match the precision of invasive FFR, and results may vary across different patient groups.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria 1\. Adults \>18 years with CCTA (\>64-detector row) performed within 60 days of undergoing invasive FFR. Exclusion Criteria 1. History of coronary revascularization with coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery and/or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (stent or balloon angioplasty) prior to CCTA and invasive FFR. 2. History of myocardial infarction prior to CCTA and invasive FFR. 3. Known complex congenital heart disease. 4. Existing pacemaker or internal defibrillator lead implantation(s). 5. Existing prosthetic heart valve. 6. Absence of CCTA Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) data for analysis. 7. Absence of invasive coronary angiography imaging or adequate description defining the position of the invasive FFR wire location. 8. Poor CCTA image quality that does not meet Elucid image processing requirements for plaque and FFRct (See Image Analysis Manual below). 9. Absence of study date for CCTA or invasive FFR. 10. Interval clinical myocardial infarction, diagnosis of decompensated heart failure, stroke, or coronary revascularization procedure between CCTA and invasive FFR. 11. Non-diagnostic CCTA or invasive FFR. Studies where the results of the study were deemed non-diagnostic for clinical decision-making were excluded. 12. CCTA or invasive FFR studies performed prior to 1 January 2012. 13. Subjects who had IFR or CFR and not measured FFR.
