A Phase 2, Investigator-Initiated, Feasibility Study to Evaluate the Mechanisms of Coronary Endothelial Dysfunction Imaged As Resting Myocardial Perfusion Heterogeneity After Endothelin Receptor Blockade With Darusentan
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating darusentan 100 mg for Coronary Artery Disease and Endothelial Dysfunction. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The primary objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that myocardial perfusion heterogeneity, quantified by Markovian Homogeneity analysis of cardiac PET perfusion images, will improve in a quantitative manner after treatment with selective ETA receptor antagonist darusentan 100 mg per day for 2 weeks compared to baseline and post-treatment PET scans in clinically stable subjects with coronary atherosclerosis and/or risk factors.
