Study summary

This study will be an observational registry to investigate the ability of magnetocardiography (MCG) in determining the presence of myocardial ischemia with the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease, by using an invasive reference standard coronary flow reserve (CFR) measured using thermodilution for diagnosis. The device is a magnetocardiography (MCG) scanner named CardioFlux, which is paired with cloud processing software. A CardioFlux scan appointment shall last approximately 15 minutes in duration and include a patient questionnaire following the scan.

Read the detailed description

This observational registry study focuses on investigating the efficacy of magnetocardiography (MCG) in detecting myocardial ischemia secondary to coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease. The reference standard for diagnosis will be invasive coronary flow reserve (CFR) measured using thermodilution.

The study utilizes a magnetocardiography (MCG) scanner known as CardioFlux, complemented by cloud processing software. The scanning procedure is designed to last approximately 15 minutes per participant, encompassing 5 minutes for patient preparation, 5 minutes for the CardioFlux scan, and an additional 5 minutes for a post-scan patient survey.

The primary objective is to assess the ability of MCG, through CardioFlux, to accurately determine the presence of myocardial ischemia in comparison to the reference standard CFR. The study will provide valuable insights into the diagnostic potential of MCG and its role in CMD detection, contributing to advancements in non-invasive cardiovascular diagnostics.

The primary study outcome measures shall be the detection of myocardial ischemia with no obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA) using MCG-CF compared to Cardiac Thermodilution derived CFR. The secondary study outcome measures shall be the MCG Questionnaire, Demographic data (age, sex, height, weight, etc.), Relevant patient medical history, EKG results (if available), and Invasive CFR/angiogram results.

Study population

Men and women with suspected or confirmed myocardial ischemia with no obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA).

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

  • ≥ 18 years of age at the time of enrollment.
  • Signs and symptoms of coronary ischemia that prompted further evaluation by either invasive coronary angiography or coronary CT angiogram) within the previous 5 years.
  • Willing to provide written .
  • Non-obstructive CAD defined as: 0 to 49% diameter reduction of a major epicardial vessel or FFR>0.80 (or non-hyperemic equivalent of iFR or RFR >0.89)
  • Completed invasive CFR via thermodilution method within 6 months of informed consent.
  • Successfully passing CardioFlux's MCG ""Quality Preview" prior to MCG study scan.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients unable to fit into the CardioFlux device.
  • Patients who meet device (as specified in section 1.4 of the protocol) NOTE: Sternotomy wires and stents are typically acceptable.
  • Patients unable to lie supine for 5 minutes.
  • History of non-ischemic dilated or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
  • Documented acute coronary syndrome (ACS) within the previous 30 days.
  • Known (LVEF) \<45%, or hospitalization for Reduced ejection fraction within 180 days. (HFpEF is permitted).
  • Currently in atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter at the time of enrollment.
  • Estimated (eGFR) \<30 ml/min.
  • Moderate or severe valvular disease (including aortic stenosis or insufficiency).
  • \<1-yrs. due to non-cardiovascular comorbidity.
  • Concurrent enrollment in a clinical trial in which therapeutic intervention is administered within 30 days of enrollment.
  • Pregnancy.
  • Dextrocardia.
  • History of Left or Right Bundle Branch Block within 6 months of enrollment.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

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.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)

The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

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

  • CMD negative

    Participants in this group exhibit no signs of Coronary Microvascular Disease (CMD), as evidenced by a CFR measurement equal to or greater than 2.5. This group serves as the comparative reference, representing individuals without CMD-related myocardial ischemia.

    Device: CardioFlux Magnetocardiography

  • CMD positive

    This group comprises participants demonstrating signs of Coronary Microvascular Disease (CMD), defined by a coronary flow reserve (CFR) measurement of less than 2.5. Participants in this category are experiencing myocardial ischemia without significant blockages in their coronary arteries.

    Device: CardioFlux Magnetocardiography

Interventions

  • DeviceCardioFlux Magnetocardiography

    The device is a magnetocardiography (MCG) scanner named CardioFlux, which is paired with a cloud processing software. CardioFlux devices are owned by Genetesis and are currently cleared for the acquisition, display, and analysis of magnetic fields generated by cardiac electrical activity (K182571, FDA clearance letter available for download online)

Ran from Dec 2023 to primary completion in May 2024, 4 months.

Of 39 industry-sponsored observational studies under Myocardial Ischemia, half reached primary completion within 27 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 16 and three quarters within 40. This study's 4 months is below that.

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

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 May 31, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
