Study of 99mTc-glucarate to Detect Acute Coronary Syndrome in Chest Pain

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this clinical trial is to study the ability of a radioactive drug called "Technetium Glucarate" to detect whether the cause of chest pain in patients entering the emergency department with no obvious signs of heart attack is due to a condition called Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). The drug will be injected intravenously. After one or two hours the patient will undergo an imaging procedure to detect if the drug has accumulated in the heart. Uptake of the radioactive drug in the heart is indicative of reduced blood flow to the heart.

Clinical Trial Description

Acute coronary syndrome encompasses a range of coronary artery diseases, including unstable angina and both ST-segment elevation and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (MI). Differentiating ACS from noncardiac chest pain remains a challenge in the emergency department (ED). Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) for ischemia has been used to rule ACS in or out among chest pain patients with nondiagnostic ECGs upon presentation to the ED. Several studies have shown a high negative predictive value of MPI for ruling out acute ischemia in the emergency setting. Although myocardial imaging with perfusion agents provides important information for risk-stratifying stable post-ACS patients, this method is of limited value in patients with prior history of CAD, since these patients will often have abnormal resting perfusion patterns, thereby precluding the ability to differentiate old infarcts from new ischemic events. 99mTc-glucarate does not detect old MIs and thus should provide an improvement in specificity in the imaging of ACS patients with previous CAD.

This study proposes to extend the evaluation of 99mTc-glucarate imaging by studying its ability to detect ACS in chest pain patients with no obvious signs of AMI but with known CAD, in the setting of the ED. Unlike MPI, 99mTc-glucarate imaging will not detect old MIs, thereby providing an advantage in specificity of the technique. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
