Radioactive water scan could spot hidden heart disease

NCT ID NCT05134012

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 3 trial is testing whether a special PET scan using radioactive water ([15-O]-H2O) can accurately detect coronary artery disease. About 215 adults with suspected heart disease will receive the injection at rest and during stress, then compare results to standard tests. The goal is to confirm if this imaging method is a reliable, non-invasive diagnostic tool.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

[15-O]-H2O (radioactive water) injection

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a more accurate, non-invasive way to diagnose coronary artery disease, potentially reducing the need for invasive procedures.

What could go wrong

This is a diagnostic trial, not a treatment. The test may not prove accurate enough in all patient groups, and results may not change patient outcomes.
