New heart scan could spot hidden blockages without surgery
NCT ID NCT07439133
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 3 trial tests whether an injection called XTR004, used with a PET scan, can accurately detect blood flow-blocking narrowings in heart arteries. About 395 adults with known or suspected stable coronary artery disease will receive the injection and undergo imaging. The results will be compared to standard angiography to see if this less invasive method is reliable.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- XTR004 (99mTechnetium Sestamibi)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a more accurate, non-invasive way to detect dangerous artery blockages, potentially reducing the need for invasive procedures.
- What could go wrong
- This is a diagnostic trial, not a treatment. Even if accurate, it may not change patient outcomes. The test involves radiation exposure, and results depend on interpretation.
