Advanced Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Assessment of Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease: ADVOCATE-CMR
182 participantsStarted 2024-12-01
Plain-language summary
Stress perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is an established non-invasive imaging test for detection of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Fully automated quantitative perfusion CMR (QP CMR) is a new technical advancement, which offers measurement of myocardial blood flow in CMR. Additionally, recent innovations have introduced various contrast-agent-free methods for CAD assessment, such as stress T1 mapping reactivity (∆T1) and oxygen-sensitive CMR (OS CMR). These methods might eliminate the necessity for contrast administration in clinical practice, simplifying, reducing time, invasiveness and costs in evaluating patients with suspected obstructive CAD. The ADVOCATE-CMR study aims to validate QP CMR, ∆T1 and OS CMR imaging against invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) for detection of obstructive CAD. The study also aims to head-to-head compare the diagnostic accuracy of these CMR techniques with the conventional visual assessment of stress perfusion CMR and to correlate them to short- and long-term clinical outcomes.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Diagnostic accuracy of QP CMR (stress myocardial blood flow [MBF], stress relative MBF [rMBF], myocardial perfusion reserve [MPR] and relative MPR [rMPR]) to detect obstructive CAD, as defined by FFR
Timeframe: ICA + hemodynamic measurements within 6 weeks of the initial CMR scan
