CT-derived FFR-guided invasive treatment versus medical therapy for chronic coronary syndrome.

Coronary Computed Tomography-Derived Fraction Flow Reserve (FFR)-Guided Invasive Treatment Strategy (ITS) Versus Optimal Medical Therapy (OMT) Alone in Patient With Chronic Coronary Syndrome

Not applicable Interventional Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University · NCT05824520

This study will test whether using CT-derived FFR to guide invasive treatment gives better clinical outcomes than optimal medical therapy for adults with chronic coronary syndrome who have at least one vessel with CT-FFR ≤ 0.80.

What this trial studies

ACCURATE II is a prospective, randomized, multicenter trial comparing a CT-derived fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR)-guided invasive treatment strategy plus optimal medical therapy to optimal medical therapy alone in patients with chronic coronary syndrome. Eligible adults have chronic coronary syndrome and at least one coronary vessel with CT-FFR ≤ 0.80 and are randomized to either revascularization guided by CT-FFR results or to receive guideline-directed medical therapy. The trial is powered to test whether the CT-FFR-guided strategy is superior for the primary clinical endpoint and includes health economic analyses to compare cost-effectiveness of the two approaches. Key exclusions include prior PCI/CABG, severe heart failure, left main disease, total occlusion, pregnancy, or contraindications to required medications or contrast.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Adults aged 18 or older with chronic coronary syndrome who have at least one coronary vessel with CT-derived FFR ≤ 0.80 and who can undergo CT and coronary angiography and provide informed consent.

Not a fit: Patients with prior PCI or CABG, left main stenosis ≥50%, total vessel occlusion, severe heart failure (NYHA ≥ III), on hemodialysis, or who cannot undergo CT/angiography or require contraindicated medications are unlikely to benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, CT-FFR guidance could help doctors target invasive treatment to patients most likely to benefit, reducing heart-related events and avoiding unnecessary procedures.

How similar studies have performed: Prior observational and diagnostic studies have shown CT-FFR can change care and reduce unneeded invasive angiography, but randomized evidence of improved hard clinical outcomes versus medical therapy is limited.
