Scientific titleQuantitative assessment of myocardial perfusion with magnetic resonance using an intravascular contrast agent: an open label trial
Study objectivesThe primary objective of the trial will be to develop and evaluate new methods for the true quantitative measurement of blood supply to the heart using cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) and gadolinium-based MR contrast agents.

The secondary objectives of the trial will be:
1. To optimise the MR sequence parameters for the acquisition of MR first pass perfusion images
2. To determine the best dosage and scheme of administration for the intravascular MR contrast agent Vasovist®
3. To compare the results obtained with different types of contrast agents and different MR sequences
4. To validate the newly developed methods for quantitative measurement of myocardial perfusion against 13N-Ammonia positron emission tomography (PET) and with fractional flow reserve (FFR)
5. To test the reproducibility of the different MR approaches to quantitative myocardial perfusion assessment
Ethics approval(s)NHS National Research Ethics Service - Guy's Research Ethics Committee approved on the 29th February 2009 (ref: 08/H0804/95; Protocol v.1.1)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedCoronary artery disease
Intervention14/06/2013: Please note that this trial was stopped in April 2011.

First pass perfusion magnetic resonance during stress with intravenous (i.v.) adenosine.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Applicable
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Adenosine, Vasovist®
Primary outcome measure1. Comparison and validation of Vasovist® perfusion MR versus conventional perfusion MR, PET and FFR:
1.1. Comparison between standard clinical qualitative evaluation of MR perfusion and fully quantitative evaluation
1.2. Validation against 13N-Ammonia PET (research indication) and/or FFR (only performed following a clinical indication as part of routine clinical care)
2. Reproducibility of Vasovist® first pass MR perfusion: comparison of the results between different perfusion MR scans
Secondary outcome measures1. MR sequence optimisation for Vasovist® perfusion:
1.1. Signal to noise ratio in the images acquired with different MR techniques
1.2. Prevalence of artefacts in the images
2. Vasovist® dose selection:
2.1. Saturation effect of the peak contrast agent signal in the myocardium
2.2. Signal to noise ratio
2.3. Prevalence of artefacts in the images
