E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation |
E.1.1 | Medical condition(s) being investigated |
This is a single‐blind, randomised, crossover investigation comparing the investigational device using intra‐coronary (IC) Adenosine infusion to the standard intravenous (IV) infusion method used for obtaining FFR measurements. All subjects requiring (on a clinical basis) a pressure wire assessment of intermediate coronary artery stenosis(es) will be eligible to take part in the investigation. |
|
E.1.1.1 | Medical condition in easily understood language |
Patients who are having coronary angiography will be asked if they are happy to take part in a trial comparing 2 ways of finding out if an artery narrowing is causing their symptoms. |

E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The main objective is to demonstrate the use of the investigation device using intra coronary adenosine infusion results in non-inferior FFR measurements when assessing intermediate stenoses, when compared to the standard method of assessment using intravenous adenosine. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
•To demonstrate that the investigational device with the use of intracoronary adenosine infusion is a safe method of performing FFR measurements
•To demonstrate that the investigational device achieves maximal hyperaemia (i.e. increased coronary blood flow) with a reduced dose of adenosine
•To demonstrate that the investigational device requires a shorter duration of adenosine administration to achieve maximal hyperaemia |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Ability and willingness to give written informed consent prior to investigation participation.
2. Has given consent to undergo hospital’s diagnostic or interventional coronary procedure.
3. Male or female subject aged 18 and over.
4. Ability to communicate well with the investigator and to comply with the requirements of the clinical investigation.
Prior to randomisation:
1. Coronary angiogram demonstrates at least one coronary stenosis of intermediate severity (40-70%), in a non-infarct related artery, which requires FFR measurement for physiological assessment.
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Known sensitivity to adenosine or any of its excipients
2. Technically inaccessible stenosis(es)
3. Acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)
4. Haemodynamically unstable
5. Presence of any clinically significant medical condition as determined by the investigator
6. Pregnancy, including the intention or possibility of becoming pregnant prior to the investigation
7. Participation in another clinical investigation within the three months prior.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Primary objective: To demonstrate that use of the investigational device results in non-inferior FFR measurements compared to the current standard procedure.
Primary endpoint: FFR measurements will be taken following advancement of the pressure wire to the desired location (FFR= PD (pressure distal to the stenosis) / PA (pressure proximal to the stenosis). Continuous FFR measurements will be recorded during the adenosine infusion until the FFR reaches a steady state of hyperaemia. Once this has been achieved, the mean FFR readings will be recorded.
FFR measurements will be performed twice for each stenosis to be studied: once using the IVSTD and once using the ICINV. Each subject will undergo both procedures, and the order in which they receive them will be randomised. Subjects will be blinded to the order in which they receive the procedures.
Effectiveness will be measured using the FFR measurements. All subjects with FFR measurements for both procedures will be evaluable for this endpoint. Subjects will be analysed according to their randomised sequence and the analysis will be repeated treating subjects as per their received sequence if there are deviations from the planned randomised order.
For each subject the difference in FFR (FFRDIFF) will be calculated as FFRINV minus FFRSTD. Mean FFRDIFF will be reported with standard deviation of the difference and a 95% confidence interval. A scatterplot will be used to show the FFR measurements from the investigational device versus the standard method with a line of perfect agreement. The ICINV device will be considered non-inferior to the IVSTD if the upper limit of the two-sided 95% confidence interval for FFRDIFF is less than 0.05.
