About this trial

This is a Phase 3, prospective, open-label, multicenter study to assess the efficacy of NH002-enhanced echocardiography in subjects with suboptimal echocardiograms to opacify the left ventricular chamber and to improve the left ventricular endocardial border delineation compared with unenhanced echocardiography. The study also aims to investigate the safety and tolerability of NH002.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

18 years of age or older

Ability to understand and the willingness to provide written informed consent

Having or suspected of having cardiac disease

Undergone a transthoracic echo within 30 days prior to NH002 dose administration, resulting in suboptimal LVEBD, as defined by 2 or more segments of 6 segments of the ventricular border that cannot be visualized reliably in any of the standard apical 4-, 2-, and 3-chamber views during the resting non-contrast ultrasound examination

Disqualifiers

ongoing or recent acute coronary syndrome within 6 months.

uncontrolled serious ventricular arrhythmias.

decompensated or inadequately controlled congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association Class IV).

atrial fibrillation or current uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmias causing symptoms or hemodynamic compromise.

Trial design

  • NH002 (Perflutren Lipid Microspheres) Injectable Suspension

    Drug

    NH002 is formulated as a microbubble injectable suspension for intravenous administration. NH002 requires an activation process prior to use.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Left Ventricular Endocardial Border Delineation (LVEBD)

The first primary efficacy endpoint will be the change from baseline in total LVEBD scores (UEUS vs CEUS) defined using a 16-segment model derived from the standard 17-segment model, as assessed through blinded central reading. The LV endocardium of the standard apical 4-, 2-, and 3-chamber views is divided into 6 segments, with 2 basal, mid-, and apical segments in each view, of which 2 segments are shared in the standard apical 4- and 3-chamber views (i.e., a total of 16 segments in the 3 views). The 17th segment at the apex will not be scored since it does not connect to any part of the LV endocardial border. For each segment, LVEBD is graded as follows: 0 = inadequate border (border not visible); 1 = sufficient (border barely visible); 2 = good (border clearly visible). A total delineation score (0 to 32) is obtained by adding the scores from a total of the 16 segments in the 3 views.

Time frame
Image data obtained pre-injection and within 10 minutes post-injection
2

Left Ventricular Opacification (LVO)

The co-primary endpoint will be the proportion of subjects with adequate LVO defined by an LVO grade of +2 (moderate) or +3 (complete), as assessed through blinded central reading.

Time frame
Image data obtained pre-injection and within 10 minutes post-injection

Secondary outcomes

1

The number and percentage of subjects with suboptimal echocardiography converted into optimal echocardiography

Objective evaluation of the number and percentage of subjects with suboptimal echocardiography (based on the definition of inadequate LVEBD; i.e., at least two segments \[combined chamber view\] with an LVEBD score of 0) converted into optimal echocardiography following administration of study drug will be summarized for each reader.

Time frame
Image data obtained pre-injection and within 10 minutes post-injection
2

Standard 12-lead ECG QT interval

Standard 12-lead ECG QT interval assessed prior to injection and at 10 and 30 minutes after the end of injection; and at 24 hours after the end of injection

Time frame
From pre-injection to 24 hours post injection
3

Blood Pressure (BP)

Changes in BP assessed prior to injection and at 5, 10, and 30 minutes the end of after injection; and at 24 hours after the end of injection

Time frame
From pre-injection to 24 hours post injection
4

Heart Rate (HR)

Changes in HR assessed prior to injection and at 5, 10, and 30 minutes the end of after injection; and at 24 hours after the end of injection

Time frame
From pre-injection to 24 hours post injection
