Phase 3 trials


Clinical studies have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of Rapiscan in patients indicated for pharmacologic stress radionuclide MPI.

The efficacy and safety of Rapiscan were determined relative to adenosine in two randomised, double-blind studies titled Adenosine Versus ADenoscan® (adenosine injection) Versus RegAdenosoN Comparative Evaluation for Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (ADVANCE MPI 1 and ADVANCE MPI 2) in 2,015 patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease who were referred for a clinically-indicated pharmacologic stress MPI.1-3
