About This Trial

This a Phase 3, prospective, open-label, multicenter study of \[15-O\]-H2O injection for PET imaging of subjects with suspected CAD. Approximately 182 evaluable participants with suspected CAD referred for testing will be included in the study at approximately 10 study sites in the United States and Europe. Approximately 215 participants will be enrolled to account for an estimated 15% drop-out rate. Screening assessments will occur prior to enrollment to confirm eligibility. All participants will receive two doses of \[15-O\]-H2O as part of a single PET imaging session (one dose at rest and one during pharmacological stress with adenosine). A safety follow-up phone call will occur 24 ± 8 hrs after completion of the \[15-O\]-H2O scan.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 3 trials confirm efficacy and safety in large patient groups (often 300–3,000+) and form the evidence base for an FDA approval submission. For Coronary Artery Disease, Phase 3 studies typically randomize participants between the investigational treatment and either a placebo or current standard of care. A successful Phase 3 result is the threshold most treatments need to clear before regulatory approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

Target enrollment of 215 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Coronary Artery Disease subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: 1. Male and female participants ≥18 years; 2. willing to sign a consent form form (ICF) read, signed, and dated prior to any study procedures being performed; 3. Participants who fall into any one of the following categories: 1. Have been referred for an ICA directly of after non-invasive testing (e.g., SPECT or PET MPI, stress echo, CCTA, ETT). 2. Had an ICA with no intervention. However, if any stenosis \>40% but ≤70% was observed, an FFR or iFR assessment was performed. 3. Had a CCTA with normal coronaries or minimal CAD (no stenosis \>25%). The SPECT study, PET 15O-H2O study, and ICA or CCTA testing need to be completed within a 30-day window, with time 0 defined as the date of the first of these three tests. 4. Women of Child Bearing Potential (WOCBP) must be non-pregnant, and non-lactating. For women of childbearing potential, the results of a urine human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) pregnancy test (with the result known on the day of drug administration) must be negative; these participants must be practicing appropriate birth control from time of the screening visit until the end of the follow-up period. For women who are either surgically sterile (have a documented bilateral tubal ligation or oophorectomy and/or hysterectomy) or are post-menopausal (cessation of menses for more than 1 year), enrollment in the study without a pregnancy test at screening is allowed. 5. Male will need to use contraceptive methods until end of the follow-up period. 6. Participants are able to comply with all study procedures as described in the protocol. Who Should NOT Join This Trial: 1. Participants are unable to undergo (even partially) any of the imaging procedures; 2. Participants with a known history of cardiac disease including: 1. myocardial infarction, previous coronary revascularization, or chronic ischemic cardiomyopathy 2. primary myocardial disease such as cardiac amyloidosis or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy ...See full criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

Participants who are on sildenafil (Viagra) or oral dipyridamole (Persantine, Aggrenox) therapy or on any PDE5 inhibitor (i.e. tadalafil, avanafil, vardenafil),and for whom its use cannot be terminated or suspended for ≥24 hours prior to treatment of study drug. 6. Participants with significant co-morbidities that would prevent appropriate completion of the protocol procedures. 7. Participants who have participated in another research study using investigational drugs within the 30 days prior to enrollment or through the duration of the trial (patients in observational studies with approved agents and participants known to be on placebo may be enrolled). 8. Participants who have previously participated in this study. 9. Subjects scheduled for, or planning to undergo, any interventional cardiac procedures between enrollment and ICA (pathway 1) or signing of informed consent and 15O-H2O PET MPI (pathway 2 and 3)

Treatments Being Tested

DRUG

[O-15]-Water PET Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI)

\[15-O\]-H2O injection is a novel PET imaging agent labeled with the radioisotope \[15-O\] administered as an intravenous (IV) injection. Participants will receive \[15-O\]-H2O treatment twice as a part of a single day imaging session. All participants will receive two IV boluses of \[15-O\]-H2O injection in a peripheral vein; one at rest and one during pharmacological stress.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
