Trial Outcomes & Findings for Frequent, Low-Dose Erythropoietin A Mechanistic Approach to Mitigate Adverse Cardiovascular Effects of Erythropoietin (NCT NCT03277183)

NCT ID: NCT03277183

Last Updated: 2020-08-13

Results Overview

The plaque characteristics will be analyzed by MRI-PlaqueViewTM (VP diagnostics Inc., WA). Planimetry will be performed on the image data sets, using histogram equalization to improve edge detection for plaque, arterial wall and lumen. Differences in image contrast between T1-weighted, T2-weighted, Time of Flight, and proton density will be used to characterize the plaque as fibrous, stable, or unstable.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 year

Population: Since the study was terminated due to lack of enrollment and the paperwork to obtain the software to read the MRI was still being filled out, we did not have the software to analyze the MRI and thus there is no data to report.

The plaque characteristics will be analyzed by MRI-PlaqueViewTM (VP diagnostics Inc., WA). Planimetry will be performed on the image data sets, using histogram equalization to improve edge detection for plaque, arterial wall and lumen. Differences in image contrast between T1-weighted, T2-weighted, Time of Flight, and proton density will be used to characterize the plaque as fibrous, stable, or unstable.
