Coronary Artery Disease
Conditions
Brief summary
PARAMOUNT is a prospective randomized open-label trial testing the hypothesis that a personalized management strategy in symptomatic patients with suspicion of coronary artery disease (CAD), using a CT-based coronary atherosclerotic plaque assessment by AI-enabled quantitative software improves: certainty for diagnosis of CAD, control of CAD risk factors and efficiency of ICA referral with appropriate PCI compared to the usual care strategy based on current AHA/ACC guidelines for care of symptomatic patients with suspicion of CAD.
Interventions
Participants in the coronary plaque-based care arm will have CCTA at baseline. CCTA images will be redacted and uploaded to Cleerly, interpreted using Cleerly Labs and Cleerly ISCHEMIA, and archived.

Prospective, randomized, open-label trial
Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* \> 18 years * Symptomatic patients with suspicion of CAD, including those referred for elective, non-urgent diagnostic testing (e.g. stress test)
Exclusion criteria
* LDL \< 100 mg/dL * Currently or previously treated beyond primary prevention guidelines * Suspected acute coronary syndrome or otherwise unstable clinical status * Planned cardiovascular procedure (e.g. coronary angiography, cardiac surgery, non-coronary vascular procedure) * Noninvasive or invasive CV testing for CAD within 1 year (e.g. invasive coronary angiography (ICA), coronary CT angiography (CCTA) including calcium scoring) * Known history of obstructive CAD (prior myocardial infarction, CABG or PCI, stenosis ≥50%) * Known EF ≤40% or other moderate to severe valvular or congenital cardiac disease * Contraindications to CCTA
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The primary objective of this study is to determine whether a management strategy improves efficiency and effectiveness. | Through study completion- an average of 1 year | The primary endpoint is composed of multuple elements, which are to be compared between Coronary Plaque-Based care and the usual care arm, in a hierarchical fashion, using the win ratio approach: 1\. Improved diagnostic certainty of CAD |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The secondary objective of the study is to determine whether a management strategy improves patients' experience of chest pain, quality of life, and adherence to medication. | Through study completion- an average of 1 year | The secondary endpoints assess angina symptoms, medication adherence, and quality of life. 1\. Change in angina symptoms assessed using the Seattle Angina Questionnaire. |
