説明

Flurpiridaz F-18 (flurpiridaz) is a novel positron emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging tracer.The purpose of this study was to further assess the diagnostic efficacy and safety of flurpiridaz for the detection and evaluation of coronary artery disease (CAD) defined as ≥50% stenosis by quantitative invasive coronary angiography (ICA).In this second phase 3 prospective multicenter clinical study, 730 patients with suspected CAD from 48 clinical sites in the United States, Canada, and Europe were enrolled. Patients underwent 1-day rest/stress flurpiridaz PET and 1- or 2-day rest-stress Tc-99m-labeled single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) before ICA. PET and SPECT images were read by 3 experts blinded to clinical and ICA data.A total of 578 patients (age 63.7 ± 9.5 years) were evaluable; 32.5% were women, 52.3% had body mass index ≥30 kg/mThis second flurpiridaz PET myocardial perfusion imaging trial shows that flurpiridaz has utility as a new tracer for CAD detection, specifically in women and obese patients.
