CCTA Coronary Artery Disease CAD
Brief summary
This is a prospective, multi-center trial conducted at up to 20 US, Canadian, European and Asian centers designed to determine the diagnostic performance of CT-FLOW (the investigational technology) by coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) for non-invasive assessment of the hemodynamic significance of coronary lesions, as compared to direct measurement of fractional flow reserve (FFR) during cardiac catheterization as a reference standard.

Inclusion criteria
* Age \>18 years * Patients providing written informed consent * Scheduled to undergo clinically-indicated non-emergent invasive coronary angiography (ICA) * Has undergone \>64 multidetector row CCTA within 60 days prior to ICA * No cardiac interventional therapy between the CCTA and ICA
Exclusion criteria

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage of Participants With Diagnostic Accuracy of CCTA Plus FFRCT and CCTA Alone | 1 day | Diagnostic accuracy of CCTA (Cardiac Computed Tomography Angiography) plus FFRCT (Noninvasive Fractional Flow Reserve computed from CCTA) to determine presence or absence of at least one hemodynamically (HD)-significant coronary artery stenosis\* at the subject level using binary outcomes when compared to invasive FFR (Fractional Flow Reserve) as the reference standard. In the per-patient analysis, vessels with the most adverse clinical status were selected to represent a given patient. FFR and FFRCT measurements were recorded on a continuous scale and dichotomized at the 0.80 threshold (values ≤0.80 considered diseased; values \>0.80 nondiagnostic for ischemia). Stenosis on CCTA was recorded at the 50% threshold (stenoses ≥50% considered obstructive and \<50% as non-significant). Prespecified primary endpoint was expected to be greater than 70% of the lower bound of the 95% confidence interval. |
