Can an unapproved device change how we manage this condition?
NCT ID NCT07803679
First seen Sep 04, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This trial tests a medical device that has not been approved or cleared by the U.S. FDA. Researchers want to learn whether the device is safe and whether it can help people with a specific condition. Participants receive the device as part of the study, and the team monitors their health and outcomes. The goal is to gather evidence on whether the device could become a future treatment option.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a medical device not yet approved or cleared by the U.S. FDA
- What this could lead to
- If the device proves safe and effective, it could offer a new option for managing the condition it targets.
- What could go wrong
- The device is not yet approved, and this trial is early-stage. It may not work as hoped or could carry unknown risks.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * At screening, one of the two following conditions must be met: Evidence of established CAD as demonstrated by: Prior non-invasive imaging modality that demonstrates at least one major epicardial vessel with mild-to-moderate obstruction (Coronary Artery Disease Reporting and Data System (CAD-RADS) 1-3) OR Presence of an abnormal coronary artery calcium (CAC) score \> 50 OR Positive stress test indicative of suspected CAD OR Presumed CAD as determined by presence of at least one of the following conditions: Known history of diabetes mellitus (DM; type 1 or 2) with at least one of the following: DM requiring insulin therapy OR DM disease onset ≥ 5 years ago OR DM with evidence of end-organ damage such as diabetic retinopathy, neuropathy, or nephropathy OR Known history of peripheral artery disease due to atherosclerosis or carotid artery atheroma. * Low-density Lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) of at least 70 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). * Patients with Intermediate pre-test probability of obstructive coronary artery lesions. * Minimal total plaque volume (TPV) of 100 cubic millimeters (mm\^3) measured during baseline AI-QCPA. * Must be on stable lipid-lowering therapy for at least 6 weeks, with no planned changes and no plans to initiate Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin type 9 ( PCSK9) inhibition. Exclusion Criteria: * Lifetime history of myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic stroke, or coronary revascularization. * Symptomatic coronary artery disease or stable chronic coronary artery disease that, in the opinion of the investigator, meets criteria for urgent or elective revascularization procedures (coronary artery bypass grafting or percutaneous coronary intervention). * Planned cardiac surgery, arterial revascularization, or planned major non-cardiac surgery during the study period. * Contraindication to performing serial CCTA imaging such as: Severe renal insufficiency (estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) \< 30 milliliters per minute per 1.73 square meters (30 mL/min/1.73 m\^2) History of hypersensitivity to iodinated contrast Body weight and/or body circumference that prevent safe and successful Computed Tomography (CT) imaging, in the opinion of the investigator; Other patient-related factors that may interfere with diagnostic quality of CCTA images including: Atrial fibrillation Heart rate \>60-70 beats per minute; Tachycardia or significant arrhythmia that cannot be adequately controlled with medications to allow CCTA Irregular rhythm (including Premature Ventricular Contraction (PVCs)); Inability to sustain a breath hold for at least five seconds. * Prior history of PCSK9 inhibitor treatment within the past 12 months or known lifetime discontinuation of prior PCSK9 inhibitor due to adverse reaction, lack of tolerability, or lack of treatment response. * History or evidence of any other clinically significant disorder, condition (including incidental CCTA findings), or disease that, in the opinion of the investigator, would pose a risk to participant safety. * CCTA showing any of the following: Total occlusion OR Lesion-specific FFRct value ≤ 0.80 OR Diameter stenosis of the left main coronary artery \>50 % OR Diameter stenosis of all three major coronary arteries \>50%. * CCTA not meeting established imaging criteria after two attempts during the baseline CCTA visit as assessed by the central imaging laboratory.
