Summary

The purpose of this study is to find the optimal dose from 3 different dose levels - 0. 15

mL, 0. 5 mL and 1. 5 mL of Optison in assessing the presence of disease of the carotid arteries when comparing pre-contrast to post-contrast ultrasound (U/S) by dose group.

Clinical Details

Official title: A Multi-Center, Open-Label, Dose-Finding, Feasibility Study of Optison in Contrast Enhanced U/S for the Detection of Carotid Artery Disease

Study design: Allocation: Non-Randomized, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Diagnostic

Primary outcome: Finding the Optimal Dose of Optison From 3 Different Dose Levels; 0.15mL, 0.5mL, and 1.5mL.

Secondary outcome: Detecting the Presence of Greater Than or Equal to 50% Stenosis and Greater Than or Equal to 75% Stenosis in the Carotid Arteries When Comparing Pre-contrast to Post-contrast Ultrasound by Dose Group.

Eligibility

Minimum age: 18 Years. Maximum age: N/A. Gender(s): Both.

Inclusion Criteria:

- The subject is is greater than or equal to 18 years of age.

- The subjects has highly suspected or established carotid artery disease.

- The subject has undergone or been referred for either unilateral or bilateral

intra-arterial X-ray carotid angiography for the determination of subject management (within 30 days before or after the U/S procedure).

- The subject has non-diagnostic U/S of the carotids as defined by institutional

standards. Exclusion Criteria:

- The subject presents any clinically active, serious, life-threatening disease, with a

life expectancy of less than 1 month or where study participation may compromise the management of the subject or other reason that in the judgment of the investigator makes the subject unsuitable for participation in the study.
