Not a traditional drug phase: CT(Computed Tomography) guided Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Cardiovascular Diseases
The OPTIMAL randomly assigned clinical trial has been designed to compare two imaging strategies and to test the hypothesis that a calcium modification strategy informed by coronary CT angiography (CCTA) will improve procedural efficiency and effectiveness compared with the current standard of care (IVUS-guided PCI) while achieving similar clinical outcomes in patients with hemodynamically significant calcified coronary artery disease.
Official registry: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT07286578 · Fundación EPIC · enrollment listed as 700
What this phase means
This study does not use the classic phase 1–4 drug ladder. It may be a device, a behavior program, a surgery timing study, or an early feasibility test.
Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.
What the registry says happens
If you join, the listed intervention(s) are CT(Computed Tomography) guided Percutaneous Coronary Intervention, or IVUS (Intravascular Ultrasound) guided Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. The registry lists allocation as randomized. The OPTIMAL randomly assigned clinical trial has been designed to compare two imaging strategies and to test the hypothesis that a calcium modification strategy informed by coronary CT angiography (CCTA) will improve procedural efficiency and effectiveness compared with the current standard of care (IVUS-guided PCI) while achieving similar clinical outcomes in patients with hemodynamically significant calcified coronary artery disease.
They plan to enroll about 700 people at 15 sites. Taking part typically means using or being fitted with a device plus check-ins.
