Study Description

A prospective, multicenter, observational, single-arm trial to validate CardioFlux MCG’s ability to diagnose myocardial ischemia caused by coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) in patients with suspected ischemia and confirmed no obstructive coronary artery disease (suspected INOCA) by using diagnostic measures of coronary flow reserve (CFR) via invasive angiography as a reference standard for diagnosis.

Study Population

Men and women aged 18 years and older with chronic/stable angina and no obstructive coronary artery disease (suspected INOCA) with an invasive CFR measurement taken at an enrolling clinical trial center.

Participant Duration

Study participation will span up to 2 weeks for completion of all timepoint visits (i.e. informed consent, MCG scan, and follow-up phone call). A CardioFlux scan appointment shall last approximately 15 minutes in duration (5 minutes for patient preparation, 5 minutes for the scan, and 5 minutes for patient survey).

Endpoints

Primary Endpoint:

Diagnostic accuracy of CardioFlux MCG in determining the presence of coronary microvascular dysfunction, as measured by AUC with ground truth defined as an invasive CFR <2.5 for bolus thermodilution method.

H0: AUC<0.55

Ha: AUC≥0.55

Key Secondary Endpoints:

Key Secondary Endpoint 1: Sensitivity and specificity of CardioFlux MCG in determining the presence of CMD with the gold standard defined as an invasive CFR <2.5 for thermodilution method as determined by a positive MCG scan output.

Sensitivity
H0<0.30
Ha≥0.30

Specificity
H0<0.70
Ha ≥0.70

Key Secondary Endpoint 2: Sensitivity and specificity of CardioFlux MCG in determining the presence of CMD with the gold standard defined as an invasive CFR <2.5 for thermodilution method as determined by a positive MCG scan output.

Sensitivity
H0<0.70
Ha≥0.70

Specificity
H0<0.30
Ha ≥0.30

Secondary Endpoints:

  • Additional calculations of sensitivity and specificity for invasive CFR by thermodilution methods at CFR cut-offs of <2.0, and 3.0.
  • Sensitivity, Specificity, and ROC/AUC for CardioFlux will also be calculated against Index of Microvascular Resistance (IMR).
  • Comparison of functional vs structural CMD will be analyzed.
  • Comparison of bolus thermodilution (CFR-bolus) and continuous thermodilution (CFR-cont) against MCG when CFR-cont is available.
  • Sensitivity and specificity will be assessed based on demographics such as age, sex, race/ethnicity, site, etc.
  • Safety will be monitored by the reporting of adverse events (related and non-related to the device) throughout the trial.
