Study summary

PROPHET-FFR is a single center ambispective registry aiming to explore the impact of post-revascularization functional assessment on later outcomes.

Read the detailed description

PROPHET-FFR is a ambispective observational study enrolling patients that need invasive functional evaluation in the diagnostic workup of coronary artery disease.

Clinical outcomes of patients that undergo functional assessment after PCI will be compared both to patients undergoing PCI without further evaluations and both to patients that will be deferred due to to negative functional evaluation.

Since the observational nature of the study the decision to perform post-PCI physiological assessment will be left to operator's discretion.

In case of post-PCI functional evaluation results that will be deemed as unsatisfactory by the operator further actions can be taken in order to optimize procedural result. The decision on this opportunity as well as the choice of the strategy to adopt are left to operator's discretion.

The primary endpoint of the study is the rate of MACE defined as the composite of spontaneous MI, target vessel failure, cardiac deaths at 24 months. Follow up will be performed by telephone contact and medical records screening at 12, 24 and 36 months.

Moreover data about in-hospital events will be collected including the release of myocardial damage markers, change in Creatinine, and lenght of hospital stay.

Study population

Patients requiring invasive functional evaluation of epicardial stenosis to guide revascularization.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • requiring coronary angiography to assess coronary artery disease;
  • having at least one angiographically intermediate coronary stenosis (eg. 40%-80%) on any vessel requiring invasive functional assessment using FFR (and/or any other surrogate index)
  • being able and legally entitled to give

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • history of severe poorly uncontrolled pulmonary disease
  • hemodynamic instability during the diagnostic or therapeutic procedures;
  • known adenosine intolerance
  • need of mechanical circulatory or ventilatory support;
  • stage IV chronic kidney disease.
  • \<1 year
  • patients gaining indication to surgical revascularization;
  • major procedural complications during percutaneous revascularization (cardiac arrest needing cardiopulmonary resuscitation, major bleeding , large iatrogenic coronary dissection, coronary embolization in a main vessel, suspected stroke) making post-PCI functional evaluation unsafe or impossible.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Life expectancy

The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.

Groups and cohorts

  • Group 1

    Patients with negative invasive functional evaluation

    Diagnostic Test: Invasive functional evaluation with either Pd/Pa, FFR, iFR or contrast FFR

  • Group 2

    Patients with positive invasive functional evaluation undergoing PCI

    Diagnostic Test: Invasive functional evaluation with either Pd/Pa, FFR, iFR or contrast FFR

  • Group 3

    Patients with positive invasive functional evaluation undergoing PCI and subsequent retest of functional indexes

    Diagnostic Test: Invasive functional evaluation with either Pd/Pa, FFR, iFR or contrast FFR

Interventions

  • Diagnostic testInvasive functional evaluation with either Pd/Pa, FFR, iFR or contrast FFR

    Enrolled patients will undergo invasive functional evaluation of coronary stenosis followed by percutaneous revascularization if appropriate. Patients in Group 3 will have target lesion re-assessed using either PdPa, FFR, iFR or contrast FFR.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Jun 2020 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jun 2025, 60 months after the start.

Of 165 non-industry observational studies under Myocardial Ischemia, half reached primary completion within 51 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 23 and three quarters within 127. This study's planned 60 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 204 studies reached it within 40 months; a quarter within 21 and three quarters within 90.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 30, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
