Study summary

The purpose of this research is to collect the magnetic signals from the heart to identify features that may help Emergency Department (ED) doctors differentiate high and low risk patients for heart related chest pain.

Conditions studied

  • Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS)
  • Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
  • Chest Pain
  • NSTE-ACS (NSTEMI and UA)

Study population

Adult patients in the ED presenting with symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndromes, with a HEART Score of 4 or above, and after the first ECG and troponin results have been obtained to rule-out STEMI or obvious non-ACS are potential candidates for this study. This represents the "grey-zone", suspected non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) patient population that is time-consuming to triage and often creates a bottleneck in the ED.

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

  • Women and men aged 22 years and older
  • Participant presenting with signs and symptoms suggestive of NSTE-ACS
  • In ED chest pain/NSTE-ACS care pathway
  • HEART Score 4+
  • Have received their first troponin result and can accommodate an MCG scan before the second troponin result.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Unable to provide
  • ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)
  • Active arrhythmia (as seen on the most recent ) such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, ventricular tachycardia
  • Acute hemodynamic instability
  • Inability to lie supine and still for 5-10 minutes
  • Known or suspected pregnancy
  • Unable or unwilling to comply with required follow-up
  • Metallic passive implants that would make the participant unsuitable for MCG (e.g. spinal implants, metal shoulder replacements, dental implants.. etc.)
  • Active implantable medical devices (e.g. pacemakers, neurostimulators.. etc.)
  • Active illegal drug use per history of present illness
  • for temporary removal of telemetry during MCG scan
  • Clear non-ischemic cause for symptoms (e.g. trauma, viral infection, valve disease)
  • Clinical conditions that in the opinion of the Investigator would compromise the safety of the participant or ability to complete the protocol (e.g., exceeds bed weight limit, allergy to adhesives)
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

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.

ECG (electrocardiogram)

A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.

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.

Interventions

  • DeviceMagnetocardiography

    The SandboxAQ CardiAQ System is an investigational device, and it is intended to non-invasively measure and display the magnetic signals produced by the electric currents in the heart. Its purpose is to assist in the evaluation of myocardial ischemia and infarction risks, in patients with symptoms suggestive of ACS. It is intended to complement clinical judgment and to augment standard of care diagnostic tools.

06

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Training machine learning algorithms.

    The main objective of the study is to collect MCG and other clinical data from the intended patient population for training machine learning algorithms to identify the presence of High Risk - Coronary Artery Disease (HRCAD).

    Time frame: Up to 30 Days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Changes in MCG over time

    The second objective is to characterize changes in MCG, if any, over the course of a patient's evaluation workflow in the ED, with a repeat MCG scan.

    Time frame: Day 1

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

Start is estimated for Sep 2026; primary completion for Feb 2027, 5 months later.

Of 34 industry-sponsored observational studies under Acute Coronary Syndrome, half reached primary completion within 29 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 20 and three quarters within 42. This study's planned 5 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 277 studies reached it within 35 months; a quarter within 18 and three quarters within 68.

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 Sep 16, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
