Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the FUSION study is to validate the diagnostic performance of Virtual Flow Reserve (VFR) by comparing it against a reference standard, fractional flow reserve (FFR).

Description:

This study is a single-arm, prospective, multi-center study collecting OCT pullback images of lesions pre-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and (optional) post-PCI procedure, and the corresponding pressure tracings and physiology indices. Up to 30 centers in the US will enroll approximately 310 patients. The expected duration of enrollment is approximately 15 months. The total duration of the clinical investigation is expected to be approximately 27 months.

• Subject is pregnant (For a female subject of childbearing potential, a pregnancy test must be performed within 14 days (=14 days) prior to the index procedure per site standard test)
• Subject has or had active COVID-19 symptoms and/or a positive test result within the prior 2 months
• Participation in another clinical study of an investigational drug or device
• Presence of aneurysm in the target vessel

Imaging and Pressure Tracing Exclusion Criteria:

• Artifact in pre-PCI OCT for the target lesion or in the event of multiple target lesions, artifact in pre-PCI OCT for ALL target lesions
• Target lesion requires any preparation (including but not limited to balloon dilatation, atherectomy, etc.) prior to pre-PCI OCT and physiology measurement, or in case of multiple target lesions, ALL target lesions require-any preparation (including but not limited to balloon dilatation, atherectomy, etc.) prior to pre-PCI OCT and physiology measurement
• Severe vessel tortuosity or calcification in the target vessel such that it is unlikely that the OCT catheter can be delivered
• Target lesion not imaged by OCT or in the event of multiple target lesions, ALL target lesions not imaged by OCT
• Pressure drift of > 0.03; i.e. Pd and Pa ratio value < 0.97 or > 1.03, unless physiology measurements are repeated after re-equalization
• Target lesion or significant CAD beyond 60mm from coronary ostium; i.e. not able to clearly image and capture all disease segment with OCT in 1 run
• Incorrectly done or unsuccessful catheter purge and/or contrast flush
• Presence of plaque rupture and/or intravascular hematoma in target vessel (visual % diameter stenosis = 40%)
• Inability to receive intracoronary nitroglycerin prior to OCT or FFR
• Use of flush media other than radiographic contrast

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Sensitivity and specificity of Virtual Flow Reserve (VFR) against Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR)	Sensitivity and specificity of the VFR compared with FFR each of which will be tested against a prespecified performance goal. FFR with a binary cut-off of 0.80 will be used as the reference standard for comparison.; FFR or VFR value = 0.80 will be considered positive (ischemia-causing), and FFR or VFR value > 0.80 will be considered negative (non-ischemia-causing); Sensitivity is defined as the proportion of VFR positive lesions, in the group of FFR positive lesions.; Sensitivity=TP/(TP+FN), where TP denotes the number of True Positives (both VFR and FFR positive) and FN denotes the number of False Negatives (VFR negative but FFR positive).; Specificity is defined as the proportion of VFR negative lesions in the group of FFR negative lesions.; Specificity=TN/(TN+FP), where TN denotes the number of True Negatives (both VFR and FFR negatives) and FP denotes the number of False Positives (VFR positive but FFR negative).	1 hour
Secondary	Overall diagnostic accuracy	Overall diagnostic accuracy is defined as the proportion of correctly classified lesions among all lesions.; Overall Diagnostic Accuracy= (TP+TN)/(TP+TN+FP+FN), where TP denotes the number of True Positives, FN denotes the number of False Negatives, TN denotes the number of True Negatives, and FN denotes the number of False Negatives.	1 hour
Secondary	Positive predictive value (PPV)	PPV is defined as the proportion of lesions with the disease and with a positive test result among the group of lesions with a positive test result.; PPV= TP/(TP+FP), where TP denotes the number of True Positives and FP denotes the number of False Positives.	1 hour
Secondary	Negative predictive value (NPV)	NPV is defined as the proportion of lesions without the disease and with a negative test result among the group of lesions with negative test results.; NPV= TN/(TN+FN), where TN denotes the number of True Negatives and FN denotes the number of False Negatives.	1 hour
Secondary	Correlation between VFR and FFR	The correlation between VFR and FFR will be estimated as the R^2 correlation coefficient from the simple linear regression model using VFR value as the independent variable and FFR as the dependent variable.	1 hour
Secondary	Area under curve (AUC) against FFR	AUC will be estimated as the area under the ROC curve. ROC curve will be constructed using specificity on the x-axis and sensitivity on the y-axis. Sensitivity and specificity are calculated at various values of VFR and FFR, and the AUC curve will be drawn using logistic regression.	1 hour
