Brief summary:
The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of Lumason-enhanced dobutamine stress echo (CE-DSE) in subjects having a suboptimal left ventricular endocardial border delineation (LV EBD) at rest and who were scheduled for coronary angiography.

Detailed description:
The study was designed to assess the safety and efficacy of Lumason at improving the visualization of the LV EBD during pharmacologic stress echocardiography examinations and for detection or exclusion of the coronary artery disease (CAD). The study population consisted of adult subjects referred for pharmacological stress echocardiography and with suboptimal image quality during unenhanced ultrasound imaging at rest who had known or suspected CAD. Subjects enrolled in the study represented subjects who could benefit most from contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) stress echocardiography.

Arms: arm 1: Lumason (sulfur hexafluoride lipid-type A microspheres) 2 mL IV injection
Interventions: intervention 1: Lumason
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: Lumason (sulfur hexafluoride-type A microspheres) an ultrasound contrast agent was administered as 2 single 2-mL IV injections during rest and stress echocardiography

Introduction
Stress echocardiography is an established imaging modality for the detection of coronary artery 
disease (CAD). 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 The primary indication for conventional stress echocardiography is to 
indirectly detect angiographically significant (≥50% diameter) stenoses by inducing ischemia or 
to assess the patient’s risk for a cardiac event.5,8,9,10 Increasingly stress echo techniques have been 
shown to offer valuable prognostic information in the risk evaluation of stable chronic 
CAD.5,10,11 Significant studies (> 100 patients) of dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) 
show a range for sensitivity of between 61–95%, while that for specificity ranged from 51–
95%11 for the diagnosis of CAD.1 The detection of CAD with stress echocardiography is based 
on the observation of contractile dysfunction in any myocardial segment at rest or with stress; 
therefore, complete visualization of all left ventricular (LV) endocardial borders (EB) is 
necessary to document or exclude abnormalities of regional myocardial wall thickening 
confidently.12,13 Interpretation of wall thickening is qualitative, highly dependent on the skill and 
experience of the reviewing physician, and is affected considerably by quality of endocardial 
border delineation (EBD).12,13 Numerous patient factors may produce suboptimal images with 
poor EBD. Given, in addition, the challenges imposed by excessive cardiac motion due to 
hyperventilation and tachycardia at peak stress, non-diagnostic or poor-quality images may occur 
in up to 30% of patients.12,13 The advent of digital side-by-side analysis, standardized reporting 
criteria, and generalized use of tissue harmonic imaging has reduced, but not overcome, this 
problem.12
Use of ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) has shown to improve EBD during stress 
echocardiography and is recommended for use in patients with poor unenhanced image quality 
by both the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) and the European Association of 
Echocardiography (EAE).12,13  However, while Lumason™ (sulfur hexafluoride lipid-type A
microspheres) with an approved trade name in the USA/SonoVue® (sulfur hexafluoride 
microbubbles) with an approved trade name for everywhere else in the world  referred to 
hereafter as LUMASON, is approved for use in echocardiography both at rest and stress in the

European Union (EU) and Canada, no UCA is currently approved in the United States of 
America (USA) for use in stress echocardiography to improve LV EBD in patients with 
suboptimal unenhanced imaging.
Although generalized use of tissue harmonic imaging has improved image quality, interpretation 
of stress echocardiograms may still be limited in patients with poor acoustic windows.12,14
Recent studies indicate that contrast-enhanced 2 dimensional (2D) echocardiography with 
harmonic imaging had excellent correlation with radionuclide, magnetic resonance (MR) and 
computed tomographic (CT) measurements of LV volumes and left ventricular ejection fraction 
(LVEF) with improved inter-observer agreement and physician interpretation confidence 
compared to unenhanced harmonic imaging in adult population.15,16 Increasing accuracy of 
LVEF measurements have been associated with contrast-enhanced harmonic imaging over 
unenhanced harmonic imaging and fundamental imaging, respectively.17,18
Non-diagnostic or poor-quality images may occur in up to 30% of patients during stress because 
of challenges imposed by excessive cardiac motion due to hyperventilation and tachycardia at 
peak stress.  There are documented benefits through published data regarding the value of the use 
of contrast agents in stress echocardiography with respect to improvement in image quality and 
EBD, which further translates into enhanced interpretation of regional and global function with 
decreased inter- and intra-observer variability.4,12  Previous investigations have demonstrated 
that improving the quality of stress echocardiography images, using contrast agents enables 
superior visualization of EBD at rest and peak stress across a range of unenhanced baseline 
image quality (i.e., greatest improvement is seen in patients with the poorest baseline 
images)with completeness of wall-segment visualization, at both rest and peak stress.6,19The 
ASE1 and American College of Cardiology (ACC)20 recommendations for use of contrast 
enhancement in stress testing have been supported by peer reviewed publications where the 
importance of adequate visualization of segments for accurate diagnosis have been emphasized.
1,4,6,19 ,20
Due to the increased routine use of DSE as a non-invasive cardiac imaging tool in adults with 
suspected or known CAD for the detection and/or evaluation of CAD and an increasing number 
of suboptimal, non-diagnostic quality images mostly with respect to the challenges imposed by 
excessive cardiac motion due to hyperventilation and tachycardia at peak stress, we aim to study 
the safety and efficacy of LUMASON-enhanced stress echocardiography with dobutamine in 
subjects with suboptimal LV EBD at unenhanced echocardiography.  This study is being 
conducted as part of the Phase III program in support of a supplemental New Drug Application 
(sNDA) to be filed with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Sensitivity and specificity for the detection or exclusion of CAD in unenhanced versus 
LUMASON-enhanced DSE using coronary angiography or clinical follow-up as the 
truth standard;
Critical shift from suboptimal (≥2 adjacent segments inadequate on any apical view) at 
unenhanced dobutamine stress echocardiography (UE-DSE) to adequate images 
(reduction of suboptimal adjacent segments) for LV EBD at contrast-enhanced 
dobutamine stress echocardiography (CE-DSE).
Secondary Objectives:
Change from peak stress non-contrast ultrasound (UE-DSE) versus peak stress contrast-
enhanced ultrasound (CE-DSE) in total LV EBD score.
To obtain safety data in subjects undergoing DSE with LUMASON.

Investigational Plan
5.1
Overall Study Design Description
This is a Phase III, prospective, multicenter, within-patient comparison of UE-DSE and CE-DSE 
that will be conducted at 10-15 sites in subjects with a suboptimal LV EBD on non-contrast 2D 
transthoracic echocardiography with harmonic imaging at rest and that are scheduled for 
coronary angiography. Suboptimal LV EBD is defined as published in guidelines, having ≥2 
adjacent segments on any apical view that are suboptimal1,12 during the rest non-contrast 
ultrasound examination.
Imaging conditions will be representative of those used in routine clinical practice and will 
include LV EBD, and LV wall motion using harmonic imaging modality with commercially 
available equipment.
Subjects who are enrolled in the study will undergo a rest non-contrast echocardiogram (UEUS) 
with the standard apical 4-, 2-, and 3-chamber views obtained with harmonic imaging. A 2 mL 
dose of LUMASON will be administered as an intravenous bolus injection during rest contrast 
enhanced echocardiography (CEUS).  A recording of 2D transthoracic harmonic 
echocardiography images will be performed for both UEUS and CEUS rest imaging. At least 30 
minutes after the completion of the rest unenhanced echocardiography (UEUS) and contrast 
enhanced-echocardiography (CEUS) the dobutamine infusion will begin.  Once peak stress is 
achieved (with or without the addition of atropine), subjects will undergo unenhanced 
dobutamine stress echocardiography (UE-DSE).  This will be followed by the contrast-enhanced 
dobutamine stress echocardiography (CE-DSE) with the administration of 2 mL of LUMASON.  
A recording of 2D transthoracic images will be performed for both UE-DSE and CE-DSE 
imaging. The on-site Investigators will provide an overall diagnosis of CAD for each subject 
from the unenhanced (UEUS and UE-DSE) and contrast-enhanced (CEUS and CE-DSE)
echocardiographic images.

The truth standard in this study will be coronary angiography.  If coronary angiography is not 
performed or is indeterminate subjects will be followed for up to 6 months to collect cardiac 
events.
An off-site assessment of the echocardiographic images will be performed by 3 blinded readers 
unaffiliated with any of the investigational sites, blinded to the subject’s clinical information. 
The efficacy analysis will be based on the blinded reader evaluations of LV EBD, wall motion 
abnormalities and diagnosis of CAD.
A fourth blinded reader will assess the coronary angiography images and provide a diagnosis of 
CAD. The fourth reader will be blinded to the specifics of the protocol including the patient 
population and the results of the ultrasound examination, but will receive clinical information 
such as the medical history on the subject.  
Safety will be evaluated in this study by the collection of concomitant medications and the 
monitoring of adverse events, vital signs, electrocardiograms (discrete & continuous), laboratory 
tests and continuous pulse oximetry.
This study is planned to be conducted in the United States, Canada and Europe.
5.2
Discussion of Study Design
The use of UCAs has shown to improve EBD during stress echocardiography and is 
recommended for use in patients with poor unenhanced image quality by both the ASE and the 
EAE.12,13,21 However, while LUMASON (under the trade name SonoVue) is approved for use in 
echocardiography both at rest and stress in the EU, no UCA is currently approved in the USA for 
use in stress echocardiography to improve LV EBD in patients with suboptimal unenhanced 
imaging. 
The mechanism of action of LUMASON during stress echocardiography would be exactly the 
same as during an exam at rest. LUMASON would be used in subjects with suboptimal images 
to enhance the LV cavity and improve the detection of the EB. This Phase III study will, 
therefore, be conducted with a consistent design (dose, study population and endpoints of both 
LV EBD score and Sensitivity/Specificity for detection of CAD) based on the Phase III studies 
previously conducted to obtain approval for the use of LUMASON in echocardiography at 
rest22,23,24 and a previous large, multicenter, dose-ranging study of LUMASON in stress 
echocardiography25.
The study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of LUMASON at improving the 
visualization of the LV EBD during pharmacologic stress echocardiography examinations and 
for detection or exclusion of CAD.  
The study population will consist of adult subjects referred for pharmacologic stress 
echocardiography and with suboptimal image quality during unenhanced ultrasound imaging at 
rest who have known or suspected CAD. Subjects to be enrolled in the current study are 
representative of subjects who could benefit most from CEUS stress echocardiography.
Imaging conditions will be representative of those used in routine clinical practice and will 
include LV EBD using harmonic imaging modality. Each subject will undergo an unenhanced

echocardiogram (UEUS) followed by a LUMASON-enhanced echocardiogram (CEUS) both at 
rest. The same applies to the stress echocardiogram when echocardiographic images will be 
obtained immediately after dobutamine administration (UE-DSE) and then LUMASON will be 
administered and LUMASON-enhanced stress images (CE-DSE) will be captured. Thus, each 
subject will serve as its own control and is designed as an intra-patient controlled study.
The current guidelines of American Heart Association (AHA)26 and ASE12 while they suggest 
ultrasound contrast use in difficult to image patients with suboptimal image quality at their 
presenting rest echocardiography exams, their definition of a suboptimal study is when 2 
contiguous segments are not visualized in any of the standard 3 apical views. The same criteria 
will be applied in adults during peak stress imaging, representative of those used in routine 
clinical practice and will include assessment of LV EBD using harmonic imaging modality.
Taking into consideration the clinical importance, both the diagnostic performance and the LV 
EBD visualization are defined as co-primary efficacy endpoints for the study.  

First co-primary efficacy endpoint is a comparison of diagnostic performance (sensitivity 
and specificity) for the detection or exclusion of CAD in unenhanced (UE-DSE) versus 
Lumason-enhanced DSE (CE-DSE) using coronary angiography or clinical events based 
on 6 month follow-up as the truth standard.  Subjects will be considered to have positive 
CAD if they have at least one vessel with stenosis ≥ 50% based on the assessment of off-
site reader for coronary angiography or have one of the clinical events (cardiac death, 
non-fatal myocardial infarction, revascularization and need for revascularization) within 
the 6 month follow-up.

Second co-primary efficacy endpoint is critical shift from suboptimal (≥2 adjacent 
segments inadequate on any apical view) at unenhanced dobutamine stress 
echocardiography (UE-DSE) to adequate images (reduction of suboptimal adjacent 
segments) for LV EBD at contrast-enhanced dobutamine stress echocardiography (CE-
DSE).
The secondary efficacy endpoint of LUMASON studies (change from baseline in total of LV 
EBD score) is the same endpoint for adult studies for LV EBD indication at rest echo 
examinations.
The muscle and cavity of the LV will be divided into 17 segments (17-segment model).  The 
17-segment model will be utilized as recommended by the ASE guidelines. 1,12,27  The standard 
views of a 2D echocardiogram as defined by the ASE are all used as part of a 2D 
echocardiogram at rest and stress.26  The clinical utility of improvement in LV EBD resulting 
from opacification of the LV as an aid in determination of more clinically relevant parameters is 
recognized by the 2008 ASE consensus statement as leading to improvement in feasibility, 
accuracy, and reproducibility of echocardiography for the qualitative and quantitative assessment 
of LV structure and function.12
Unevaluable image are defined as images with inadequate visualization of segments comprising 
all coronary artery territories due to 1 or more of the following artifacts: motion artifacts, lateral 
wall drop out, swirling or attenuation artifacts.  From the published literature6 and previous 
Bracco-sponsored study25 8% of the UE-DSE images are expected to be unevaluable.

Stress can be induced by either physical exercise or pharmacologic agents. Physical stress was 
the first reported and used form of stress echocardiography, but it has several disadvantages 
since during exercise it is not possible to perform close echocardiographic monitoring and 
recordings are not reliable because of hyperventilation. Pharmacologic stress overcomes these 
disadvantages.
The pharmacologic stress agent used in this study will be dobutamine.  Dobutamine is a direct-
acting inotropic agent whose primary activity results from stimulation of the beta-
adrenoreceptors of the heart while producing comparatively mild chronotropic, hypertensive, 
arrhythmogenic, and vasodilative effects. Dobutamine acts primarily on beta-1 adrenergic 
receptors, with little effect on beta-2 or alpha receptors. In the USA, dobutamine is indicated 
when parenteral therapy is necessary for inotropic support in the short-term treatment of patients 
with cardiac decompensation due to depressed contractility resulting either from organic heart 
disease or from cardiac surgical procedures. In the EU and other countries, dobutamine is also 
indicated for use in stress echocardiography as an alternative to exercise in patients for whom 
routine exercise cannot be satisfactorily performed. Even if not approved for use in stress 
echocardiography in the USA, dobutamine is recommended as the pharmacologic stressor of 
choice for stress echocardiography by the ACC Foundation Appropriateness20 Criteria Task 
Force, the ASE, and the AHA. 1,26 Dobutamine became the preferred stressor in USA as the 
AHA/ACC guidelines stated that “dobutamine stress echo has higher sensitivity than vasodilator 
stress echo for detection of CAD.”28,29 The recent 2007 recommendations on stress 
echocardiography of the ASE conclude that “although vasodilators may have advantages for 
assessment of myocardial perfusion, dobutamine is preferred when the test is based on 
assessment of regional wall motion.” 1
Based on the Phase III studies conducted to obtain approval for use of LUMASON in 
echocardiography at rest22,23,24 and a previous large, multicenter, dose-ranging study of 
LUMASON in stress echocardiography25 the proposed dose of LUMASON is 2 mL bolus 
injection during the rest examination, and then again as a single 2 mL bolus injection after 
administration of the stress agent, dobutamine, and the UEUS stress examination is completed. 
There will be at least a 30 minute period between rest and stress LUMASON injections.
The off-site assessments of echocardiographic images will be performed by experienced 
cardiologists, unaffiliated with the enrolment centers and blinded to the subject’s clinical 
information. Blinded off-site assessments are used to evaluate diagnostic agents in order to 
eliminate the potential bias associated with on-site assessments due to the investigator’s 
knowledge of the subject’s medical history, clinical findings from other modalities, or other 
clinical information. Thus, the off-site assessments allow for a blinded evaluation of efficacy 
which is not possible for the on-site assessments.
All subjects will have a truth standard of either coronary angiography or, if coronary 
angiography is indeterminate or not performed, they will be followed for up to 6 months to 
collect cardiac events. Although we will study the sensitivity and specificity in detecting 
anatomic stenoses ≥50% in severity, not all the subjects will undergo coronary angiography. 
Therefore, subjects who do not undergo coronary angiography in the study will be followed for 
cardiac events (cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, revascularization and need for

revascularization) at 6 months.  The proposed cardiac events as hard end points in the study are 
widely used, well recognized, robust, measurements of a non-invasive test to predict cardiac 
events.5,7,10
The coronary angiography images will be reviewed by a single, off-site reader who is an
experienced cardiologist to provide a centralized reading for the confirmation of the diagnosis of 
CAD. He/she will be blinded to the results of the stress echo examination. Medical historical 
information will be provided to the reader. This will allow the gold standard to achieve the 
maximum accuracy and reliability. It will also serve to reduce the variability of readings 
performed by many different unblinded readers on-site across all study sites.
5.2.1
Risk-Benefit Considerations
Despite substantial technical improvements in imaging modalities that have an impact on image 
quality on the equipment side, approximately 30% of patients continue to undergo stress 
echocardiographic examinations that are non-diagnostic or inconclusive due to poor image 
quality, with subsequent poor evaluation of cardiac function, leading to the need for more 
invasive techniques. 1,12 ,30  These patients would benefit from a contrast agent that can opacify 
the LV and improve the delineation of EBs.
Given the fact that the subjects to be enrolled in the present clinical trial will be subjects already 
having suboptimal echocardiographic images and have no evidence of intracardiac shunts, 
inclusion in the study is unlikely to add any risk for the subjects.  Due to the fact that subjects 
who are contraindicated for dobutamine will already be excluded from this study, dobutamine 
used as the stressor in this study will not add any additional risk to the subjects.
Even though the subjects have been scheduled for coronary angiography most likely have 
already undergone other diagnostic imaging modalities such as DSE or SPECT, the contrast 
enhanced DSE will still add incremental value with better EBD which will translate into better 
recognition of wall motion abnormalities. Furthermore, CEUS stress echocardiography will
prevent the risk of those subjects being exposed to radiation through other imaging modalities in 
the down streaming of appropriate assessment of cardiac function and structures.
LUMASON efficacy and safety is based on data from 75 clinical trials in 6307 subjects and post-
marketing surveillance over 12 years of market use in an estimated 2.7 million patients. 
Hypersensitivity to any of the components of LUMASON, as for other contrast agents, cannot be 
excluded, and there is potential for unpredictable, serious hypersensitivity reactions, including 
anaphylactoid reactions. Further, such reactions may lead to life-threatening conditions if they 
occur in critically ill patients. However, serious hypersensitivity reactions after LUMASON 
administration are rare (estimated occurrence of approx. 1 in 10,000 exposures) and suboptimal 
EBD and inaccurate assessment of LV function (global and regional wall motion assessment) 
and/or cardiac anatomy are frequent in a patient population with suspected CAD.12,13,31
Echocardiography is an imaging modality that represents a fundamental investigation used in the 
initial and ongoing management of patients with suspected or known CAD because it is 
noninvasive, provides easy access, anytime and any day, can be performed at the bedside of the 
patient, and can be repeated as often as needed for monitoring. The balance of the benefit of 
LUMASON in comparison with its risks is also positively affected by the availability of acute

care settings and physicians that can promptly and effectively recognize and manage serious 
adverse events.
Although optional noninvasive modalities (SPECT, CMRI and CT angiography) may provide 
diagnostic accuracy, valuable and detailed data, all of them pose greater risk than transthoracic 
echocardiograms.32 33 Probably the most critical drawback is the time delay in obtaining the data 
needed for urgent risk assessment and treatment, but safety concerns including exposure to 
radioactive material and risky patient transportation to the nuclear/MRI department are also 
present.21 Furthermore, if an imaging agent is used, these imaging modalities carry the same risk 
of rare, serious hypersensitivity reactions and the same risk of serious, life-threatening 
complications.
Of note, at the patient level, the effective dose of a single nuclear cardiology stress imaging scan 
ranges from 10 to 27 mSv.  The corresponding equivalent dose exposure is 500 chest X-rays 
[Cardiolite® (Tc-99m Sestamibi)], 1200 chest X-rays (Thallium) and 1300 chest X-rays (with 
dual imaging protocol).  According to the latest estimates the risk of cancer for a middle aged 
patient ranges from 1 in 1000 (for Cardiolite) to 1 in 400 (for a dual isotope scan).21 Therefore, 
contrast-enhanced stress echocardiography should be preferred due to wider availability and for 
its radiation free nature.  Overall, the effectiveness and suitability of LUMASON as a contrast 
agent for use with echocardiography to obtain improve LV EBD has been demonstrated. 
Clinical studies have shown LUMASON to be safe and well tolerated with minimal risk to 
subjects. In conclusion, the benefit-to-risk ratio for LUMASON is high, indicating an advantage 
to subjects undergoing stress echocardiography.
With the marked increase in costs associated with cardiovascular care and interventions, it is 
vital that non-invasive imaging procedures be highly accurate in detecting whether a patient is at 
risk for coronary events, not just whether they have a significant coronary stenosis. It is also vital 
that these stress imaging procedures be equally accurate in identifying which patients are at risk 
for future cardiac events. 
5.3
Study Duration
The procedure associated with the LUMASON administration will be completed within 
approximately 1 hour.  Safety monitoring will begin at the time of signing Informed Consent and 
continue for 72 hours after the last LUMASON administration or until the subject undergoes 
cardiac intervention, whichever comes first.  Subjects will be followed up to 6 months to collect 
truth standard data (coronary angiography or cardiac events) as described in Section 8.6.4.
5.4
Study Population
The study will be conducted in subjects who have suboptimal image quality on UEUS 
echocardiography at rest and are scheduled for coronary angiography. It is expected that 10-15 
study centers will participate in the study. Approximately 175 subjects will be enrolled in order 
to obtain 45 subjects with positive CAD and 45 with negative CAD based on the truth standard.  
The prevalence of positive CAD subjects will be tracked based on the onsite diagnosis of CAD 
from the truth standard.  If the overall yield of positive CAD subjects is lower than the assumed

Detailed instructions for the reconstitution of both LUMASON and SONOVUE are presented in 
Appendix B.  
Store the reconstituted IP/IMP at room temperature in the vial supplied. Although the suspension 
is useable for up to 3 hours in the USA and up to 6 hours in Canada/ Europe the more 
conservative time period of 3 hours will be used in this study. Upon standing for more than 15 
minutes, buoyancy causes some of the larger microspheres/microbubbles to rise to the surface. 
Therefore, gently agitate the reconstituted vial in a top-to-bottom manner to resuspend the sulfur 
hexafluoride microspheres/microbubbles before administration.
A separate kit/container should be used for the rest (CEUS) and stress (CE-DSE) LUMASON 
administrations. In the case of incomplete use of vial contents, the product cannot be reused.
6.5
Administration
Once reconstituted, LUMASON will be administered as a single 2 mL bolus injection during the 
rest examination, and then again as a single 2 mL bolus injection after peak stress is achieved 
with the administration of the stress agent, dobutamine (with or without the addition of atropine), 
and the UE-DSE stress examination is completed.  Each LUMASON injection will be performed 
intravenously through a peripheral line using a 20 gauge catheter followed immediately with 5 
mL of saline in order to flush the intravenous line of any remaining contrast agent. There will be 
at least a 30 minute period between the rest and the stress LUMASON injections.
6.6
Accountability
In accordance with International Conference of Harmonization (ICH) and United States (US)
FDA requirements, the Investigator and/or Drug Dispenser must at all times be able to account 
for all IP/IMP furnished to the institution.  The appropriate site personnel must sign, date and 
immediately forward to the Sponsor the IP/IMP receipt form included with each shipment.
No IP/IMP is to be used outside of this study.  Record the use of the IP/IMP on the appropriate 
Drug Accountability Record.  All containers of IP/IMP must be accounted for, whether used or 
unused, during the course of and at the conclusion of the study.  At the conclusion of the study, 
all shipments of IP/IMP to the Investigator must be returned to the Sponsor accompanied by a 
completed, signed copy of the appropriate IP/IMP inventory reconciliation form.

Methodology
8.1
Study Schedule
See Appendix C for the timing of required observations and evaluations.
8.2
Written Informed Consent
Obtain written Informed Consent from the subject prior to the implementation of study 
procedures required by the protocol.  The subject must sign the Informed Consent approved by 
the Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Ethics Committee (EC)/Research Ethics Board (REB)
(including specific local requirements e.g., data protection where applicable).  Give the subject a 
copy of the signed and dated written informed consent form including any other written 
information regarding the study. Document the Informed Consent process in detail in the source 
record at the site.
8.3
Subject Numbering
Assign a four digit subject number for each subject who qualifies for the study and signs the 
written Informed Consent.  The first two digits of the subject number will be the investigational 
site number assigned by Sponsor.  For site numbers less than ten use a leading zero. The third 
and fourth digits will be a number starting with 01 for the first subject enrolled and incrementing 
by “1” for each sequential subject.
For example, at site 01, the investigative site will assign the first subject 0101; the second subject 
0102, etc.
Never reassign subject numbers.  In the event that a subject withdraws from the study, the 
number assigned to that subject is retired and the next subject receives the next sequential 
number.

Attach a photocopy of the ECG reports to the appropriate page of the CRF. A dual snap electrode 
will be supplied to the site by the central ECG laboratory in order to allow the acquisition of both 
discrete (static) 12-lead ECGs and continuous ECG monitoring described in section 8.4.5.6.
8.4.5.6
Continuous Electrocardiograms
Continuous ECG monitoring will be performed starting 10 minutes prior to the first 
administration of LUMASON (CEUS) and will continue through 30 minutes after the last 
administration of LUMASON.
Continuous ECG examinations will be evaluated on site by the Investigator.
8.4.5.7
Pulse Oximetry
Pulse oximetry will be monitored starting at 10 minutes prior to the first administration of 
LUMASON (CEUS) and continuing through 30 minutes after the last LUMASON 
administration (CE-DSE).  
Pulse oximetry will be evaluated by the on-site Investigator. 
8.5
Imaging Procedures
At each site, the same commercially available echocardiographic equipment and transducers will 
be used for all subjects. Subjects will be examined in either the supine or lateral decubitus 
position. The transmit power (≤ 0.8 MI) and the gain setting will be adjusted at the beginning of 
each procedure to obtain optimal endocardial visualization. Both settings must be kept constant 
throughout each subject’s evaluation. Focus will be set at the far field below the mitral valve. 
Every effort must be made to keep the optimal transducer position for standard views. At each 
site, image acquisition should be performed by the same sonographer throughout each subject’s
study. See Figure 1 for the order of imaging procedures.
Both the rest (UEUS and CEUS) and the stress (UE-DSE and CE-DSE) examinations must be 
identified by subject number and stored as DICOM clips for transfer to the central imaging lab 
according to the instructions in the provided Imaging Manual. The investigational sites are also 
required to maintain a copy of the subject’s examination as a record of the study.
Prior to rest administration of LUMASON (CEUS), further evaluation for intracardiac shunt will 
be demonstrated with agitated saline study to assess the interatrial septum, unless an intracardiac 
shunt has been previously ruled out. If no evidence of intracardiac shunt is confirmed by the 
cardiologist, the subject will further undergo a CEUS echocardiography examination.
8.5.1
Rest Echocardiography
At rest, UEUS will be acquired using harmonic imaging with the standard apical 4-, 2-, and 3-
chamber views. Following the rest UEUS echocardiogram, a rest CEUS echocardiogram will be 
performed with administration of a single 2 mL bolus injection of LUMASON. A recording of 
2D transthoracic harmonic echocardiography imaging will be performed from 30 seconds prior 
to injection of LUMASON and continue until all images are acquired. For the rest CEUS images,

the apical 4-chamber view will be acquired first followed by the apical 2- and 3-chamber views.
8.5.2
Pharmacologic Stress with Dobutamine
For stress, dobutamine will be administered intravenously by infusion pump at least 30 minutes 
after the rest LUMASON administration starting at a rate of 5 µg/kg/min. At 3 minute intervals, 
the infusion rate can be increased to 10, 20, 30, and 40 µg/kg/min to reach one of the following 
peak stress endpoints:
Target heart rate:  0.85 x (220 - age);
Development of new or worsening regional wall motion abnormalities;
Peak dose;
Significant arrhythmias;
Severe hypertension (systolic blood pressure >200 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure >110 
mmHg);
Hemodynamically significant hypotension;
Intolerable symptoms.
If a peak stress endpoint is reached, the test can be stopped before reaching the maximal dose of 
dobutamine. If no peak stress endpoint is reached after the maximum dose of dobutamine, 0.25 
mg to 0.5 mg of atropine can be administered intravenously at peak infusion to increase heart 
rate. If peak stress is still not reached, atropine, in divided doses of 0.25 to 0.5 mg up to a total of 
2.0 mg, should be used as needed to achieve target heart rate.
8.5.3
Stress Echocardiography
Immediately after the administration of dobutamine, with or without the addition of atropine, a 
stress UE-DSE echocardiogram will be acquired at peak stress using harmonic imaging with the 
standard apical 4-, 2-, and 3-chamber views. Following the stress UE-DSE echocardiogram, a 
stress CE-DSE echocardiogram will be performed with administration of a single 2 mL bolus 
injection of LUMASON. A recording of 2D transthoracic harmonic echocardiography imaging 
will be performed from 30 seconds prior to injection of LUMASON and continue until all 
images are acquired. For both US-DSE and CE-DSE images, the apical 4-chamber view will be 
acquired first followed by the apical 2- and 3-chamber views.

Efficacy Evaluations 
8.6.1
On-Site
The on-site Investigators will provide an overall diagnosis of CAD (Section 8.6.3.3) for each 
subject based on wall motion abnormalities from the results of the unenhanced (UEUS & UE-
DSE) and contrast-enhanced (CEUS and CE-DSE) echocardiographic images.
8.6.2
Off-Site
The off-site efficacy evaluations of the echocardiographic images will be performed by 3 
independent, experienced readers, unaffiliated with the investigational sites and blinded to any 
clinical information for subjects enrolled in this study.  These off-site blinded readers will score 
EBD (Section 8.6.3.1), LV wall motion (Section 8.6.3.2) and overall diagnostic conclusion 
(Section 8.6.3.3).

Efficacy Measurements
If the subject does not complete the echocardiography examinations (rest, stress or any views are 
missing) the subject will not be included in the efficacy evaluation for on- or off-site.
8.6.3.1
Endocardial Border Delineation
The assessment of EBD will be performed by dividing the heart into 17 segments using the 
standard apical 4-, 2-, and 3-chamber views (see Figure 2) according to the ASE1,12,27 guidelines:
Figure 2: 17-Segment Model
LV EBD will be graded for each segment of the 17-segment model shown in Figure 2 by each 
off-site reader using the following 3-point scale:
0 = Inadequate (endocardial border not visible)
1 = Sufficient (endocardial border barely visible)
2 = Good (endocardial border clearly visible)
For LV EBD, separate assessments will be collected for the unenhanced (UE-DSE) and contrast-
enhanced (CE-DSE) images at peak stress.  
8.6.3.2
LV Wall Motion
LV wall motion will be graded by each off-site reader using the following 3-point scale at rest 
and peak stress for unenhanced (UEUS and UE-DSE) and contrast-enhanced (CEUS and CE-
DSE) images:
1 = Normal
2 = Abnormal (Mild-Moderate, Severe Hypokinesis, Akinetic and/or Dyskinetic)
3 = Unevaluable

Truth Standard
8.6.4.1
Coronary Angiography
The results of coronary angiography will be collected on-site for any subject who has the 
procedure within 6 months following the LUMASON administration(s).  All coronary 
angiography images should be archived and stored on dedicated digital media according to the 
standard practice at the institution.  Investigational sites are required to maintain the original
images as a record of the study. A copy of the images shall be archived on portable digital media 
(e.g., digital versatile disc [DVD], magnetic optical disc [MOD], compact disc [CD], etc.) that 
will be forwarded to the central imaging laboratory according to the instructions in the Imaging 
Manual. If a subject does not undergo coronary angiography or coronary angiography is 
indeterminate, 6 month follow-up data will be collected to determine if the subject has CAD 
based on clinical information (see Section 8.6.4.2).
A fourth blinded reader will assess the coronary angiography images and provide a diagnosis of 
CAD. The off-site reader will be blinded to the specifics of the protocol including the patient 
population and the results of the echocardiographic examination, but will receive clinical 
information such as the medical history.

For subjects with coronary angiography as the truth standard, a subject will be diagnosed by the 
blinded off-site coronary angiography reader as Positive if percentage diameter stenosis of any of 
the vessels (RCA, LAD, LCx and LM) is ≥50%; otherwise, a subject will be considered as 
Negative.
8.6.4.2
6 Month Follow Up to Collect Cardiac Events
A 6 month follow up will be required for those subjects who have not had a coronary 
angiography or had coronary angiography with indeterminate results within the 6 months 
following the LUMASON administration(s).
Subjects requiring 6 month follow up will be monitored by a review of their hospital and clinic 
records as well as a phone call follow-up at 6 months to collect cardiac events, as defined by the 
incidence of: a) cardiac death; b) non-fatal myocardial infarction as defined by a greater than two 
fold serial elevation in serum creatine kinase-myocardial B (CK-MB) fraction levels; c) coronary 
revascularization; and d) documentation of the need for coronary revascularization. If a coronary 
angiography is performed during the 6 month follow-up, this will be collected and accepted as 
the truth standard for the subject. Each site will have study personnel who will be responsible 
for collecting phone/clinical record or coronary angiography images during the follow up period.
8.6.5
Off-Site Assessment Methodology
Digital recordings of the echocardiographic images will be blinded, randomized and assessed 
off-site at a core laboratory.  The off-site assessment of the digital recordings will be performed 
by 3 independent, experienced readers, unaffiliated with the investigational sites and blinded to 
any clinical information for subjects enrolled in this study.
In addition, the coronary angiography images will be evaluated by a fourth blinded reader who 
will provide a diagnosis of CAD. This off-site reader will be blinded to the specifics of the 
protocol including the patient population and the results of the ultrasound examination, but will 
receive clinical information such as the medical history.
A separate off-site methodology document will be prepared and will contain the details regarding 
how the images will be anonymized, randomized and presented to the readers. 
Changes to the off-site image assessment will either be reviewed and approved via a protocol 
amendment or described in the separate off-site image assessment document.

Reporting Safety Information
The investigator is responsible for the detection, documentation and reporting of adverse events.
AE collection begins when a subject signs the Informed Consent and continues through the 
follow-up period defined in the section 8.4.5.1 of the protocol. In addition, an investigator should 
report any serious AEs that occur after this time period that he/she believes may be related to the 
IP/IMP and/or NIMP(s).

Any untoward medical occurrence that occurs from the time of signed Informed Consent to the 
time immediately prior to IP/IMP administration will be tabulated in the Clinical Trial Report as 
a “predose event.”  
9.1
Adverse Events
9.1.1
Definitions
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject or a clinical trial subject 
administered a medicinal product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal 
relationship with the use of the product. 
Any AE that occurs after the follow-up period defined in the protocol is not required to be 
collected in the AE section of the CRF.
An existing condition, which is detected by the diagnostic procedure conducted to test the 
efficacy of an investigational contrast agent, is not considered an AE.
Symptoms or medically significant laboratory or instrumental (e.g., electrocardiographic) 
abnormalities of a pre-existing condition, such as cancer or other disease, should not be 
considered an AE. However, new symptoms and laboratory or instrumental abnormalities, as 
well as worsening of pre-existing ones are considered AEs.
A serious adverse event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: 
results in death, 
is life-threatening (i.e. the subject was at risk of death at the time of the event/reaction; it 
does not refer to an event/reaction which hypothetically might have caused death if it were 
more severe),
requires in subject hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, 
results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity (where disability is defined as a 
permanent or substantial disruption of ability to carry out normal life functions, either 
reported or defined as per clinical judgment),
is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, 
is an important medical event that may not result in death, be life-threatening, or require 
hospitalization but may be considered serious when, based upon appropriate medical 
judgment, it may jeopardize the subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to 
prevent any of the outcomes listed in the definition above.  Examples of such events 
include allergic bronchospasm requiring intensive treatment in an emergency room or at 
home, and blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in hospitalization, or 
development of drug dependency or drug abuse. 
Any suspected transmission via a medicinal product of an infectious agent is also considered an
SAE.
A non-serious AE is any AE that does not meet the criteria listed above for a SAE.
The reference safety document will be the same for the whole clinical trial.

An unexpected AE is one where the nature, severity, specificity or outcome is not consistent with 
the applicable product reference document.
In particular, the sponsor will determine the expectedness of the AEs reported during this clinical 
trial according to the following reference document(s):
LUMASON: latest version of the Investigator’s Brochure (IB),
Dobutamine: latest version of PI/SPC approved in the country where the site is located which
administered the NIMP to the study subject,
Atropine: latest version of PI/SPC approved in the country where the site is located which 
administered the NIMP to the study subject.
If an updated version of the reference safety document becomes available during the conduction 
of the study and before the last subject out, the Sponsor will provide the new version to all 
investigators. For Europe, the new version will be provided to all investigators, ECs and CAs.
The new version will become the reference safety document for assessing the expectedness of 
AEs.
An AE with fatal outcome should be considered unexpected unless the reference safety 
document specifically states that the event might be associated with a fatal outcome. 
When it is uncertain whether an AE is expected, the AE should be treated as unexpected.
9.1.2
Expedited Reporting a Serious Adverse Event to Sponsor
The Investigator must report all serious adverse events within 24 hours, by telephone or by fax, 
to both the Drug Safety group and the Clinical Manager of the Sponsor as listed in Table D. 
A Serious Adverse Event Report (SAER, see Appendix D) must be completed by the 
Investigator and faxed to the Sponsor (both the Drug Safety group and the Clinical Manager) 
within 3 calendar days after the Investigator first became aware of the serious event.  The top 
two copies of the completed SAER should also be sent to the Sponsor by traceable mail.  The 
bottom copy remains on-site with the CRF. 
In case of death, a comprehensive narrative report of the case should be prepared by the 
Investigator and sent to both the Drug Safety group and the Clinical Manager of the Sponsor by 
traceable mail together with the SAER, with a copy retained on-site with the CRF.  If an autopsy 
is performed, a copy of the autopsy report should be actively sought by the Investigator and sent 
to the Sponsor as soon as available with a copy retained on-site with the CRF.
A follow-up SAER should be filled in by the Investigator if important follow-up information 
(e.g., diagnosis, outcome, causality assessment, results of specific investigations) becomes
available after submission of the initial SAER.  The follow-up SAER should be sent to the 
Sponsor in the same manner and following the same timeline as described for the initial.
If the Investigator becomes aware of any serious adverse events within the follow-up window 
established in the protocol following IP/IMP administration, they will be reported to both the
Drug Safety group and the Clinical Manager of the Sponsor as described above.

If outside the follow-up window established in the protocol, any serious adverse events are 
reported to the Investigator, which he/she believes are related to the administration of the IP/IMP
and/or NIMP(s), it is the Investigator’s responsibility to report this serious adverse event to both 
the Drug Safety group and the Clinical Manager of the Sponsor.  Such serious adverse events 
will be reported using a Serious Adverse Event Report or any other way chosen by the 
Investigator.  Do not use the Case Report Form.

Data Collection
The Investigator will collect adverse events through non-leading questions and examination of 
the subjects/subjects.
For each event, record the following information in the Adverse Event section of the Case Report 
Form:
Classification of the Event: Classify the event as either serious or non-serious (see 
definitions in Section 9.1.1).
Description of Signs or Symptoms: Whenever possible, record a specific diagnosis for 
the event.  If a diagnosis cannot be made, then record each sign or symptom separately. If 
multiple episodes of an event occur, separated by an appropriate time interval to justify

considering the subsequent episodes as a repeat occurrence, record each episode separately 
on the Case Report Form.  Indicate if the event is local (i.e., occurring at the site of 
administration). For serious AEs only: provide a detailed chronological description of the 
clinical course of the event(s) and of all relevant signs and symptoms.

communicated in a timely fashion by the Sponsor to the applicable regulatory authorities, 
IRBs/ECs/REBs and also to concerned investigators and subjects.
9.3
Laboratory Evaluations
9.3.1
Reporting and Evaluation of Central Laboratory Test Results
The central laboratory will send a report of the laboratory results to the Investigator within 48 
hours after the sample is picked up from the investigational site.  Attach a copy of the laboratory 
report to the Case Report Form. 
The Investigator or sub-investigator must review laboratory values within 24 hours of receipt of 
the laboratory report. After the review is completed, the Investigator must sign and date each 
laboratory report.
The central laboratory will provide normal reference ranges for the laboratory tests on the 
laboratory results report.  A value is normal when it falls on or within the upper and lower limits 
of the reference range.  A value is abnormal when it falls outside the upper or lower limit of the 
reference range.  The central laboratory will flag all abnormal values on the laboratory report and 
will verify that the result is not due to pre-analytical problems (e.g., sample taken improperly, 
sample stored incorrectly, sample labeled incorrectly) or to analytical problems (e.g., machine 
not accurately calibrated, technical problems with equipment or reagents, deterioration of 
analyte).  
The central laboratory has established ‘alert criteria’ for some laboratory tests and will make an 
immediate telephone call to the Investigator in the event that a laboratory result meets these 
criteria.
The Investigator must evaluate any change from predose to postdose in a laboratory test which 
represents a worsening of the subject’s clinical state as to whether it meets the definition of an 
adverse event.  Record all changes determined to meet the definition of an adverse event in 
the Adverse Event section of the Case Report Form.  
9.3.2
Repeat Testing
Collect additional samples to repeat the lab test that represents a worsening of the subject’s 
clinical state and meets the definition of an adverse event, until the value returns to the predose 
level or clinically stabilizes, or until the Investigator or physician of record determines that 
further follow-up is unnecessary.

9.3.3
Emergency Laboratory Analysis
If a laboratory result needs to be obtained immediately, split the sample and send one-half to the 
local laboratory for immediate analysis and the other half to the central laboratory.  Attach 
results from both laboratories to the Case Report Form.
9.4
Electrocardiograms
If a worsening from predose to postdose is observed on an ECG, repeat the ECG at the discretion 
of the Investigator, in addition to obtaining an ECG at the postdose time points required by the 
protocol.  The Investigator will assess any worsening from predose to postdose in the ECG for 
clinical relevance (whether it meets the definition of an adverse event).  Record all changes 
determined to meet the definition of an adverse event in the Adverse Event section of the Case 
Report Form.
9.5
Continuous ECGs
If a worsening is observed during the continuous ECG monitoring, the Investigator will assess 
the worsening for clinical relevance (whether it meets the definition of an adverse event).  
Record all changes determined to meet the definition of an adverse event in the Adverse Event 
section of the CRF.
9.6
Physical Examinations
If a worsening from predose to postdose is observed in a physical examination, repeat the 
physical examination at the discretion of the Investigator, in addition to obtaining a physical 
examination at the postdose time points required by the protocol.  Document any change from 
predose to postdose in the Physical Examination section of the Case Report Form.  The 
Investigator will evaluate any worsening at the postdose physical examination for their clinical 
relevance and to determine whether they meet the definition of an adverse event.  Record all 
changes determined to meet the definition of an adverse event in the Adverse Event section of 
the Case Report Form.  Record specific signs, symptoms, and/or laboratory information 
supporting these changes.
9.7
Vital Signs
If a worsening from predose to postdose is observed in vital signs, repeat the vital sign 
measurement at the discretion of the Investigator, in addition to obtaining vital sign 
measurements at the postdose time points required by the protocol.  The Investigator will 
evaluate any worsening in vital signs for its clinical relevance as to whether it meets the 
definition of an adverse event.  Record all changes determined to meet the definition of an 
adverse event in the Adverse Event section of the Case Report Form.

Special Situations
For vital signs and ECGs, the baseline for time points at rest will be the last measurement prior 
to the IP/IMP administration at rest; while the baseline for time points at stress will be the 
measurement which is collected after administration of the pharmacologic stress agent, 
dobutamine, and prior to LUMASON administration at stress (CE-DSE). All adverse events will 
be coded by MedDRA and summarized by system organ class and preferred term, by intensity 
and by causal relationship to the IP/IMP.  Adverse event will be summarized separately for the 
NIMP(s). Only those events which occur from the start of IP/IMP administration through the 
follow-up period defined in the protocol will be tabulated in the Clinical Trial Report as “adverse 
events” see Section 9.1.1. 
10.6
Efficacy Analysis 
The echocardiographic images will be assessed by 3 off-site blinded readers independent of the 
investigational sites; accordingly, the efficacy analysis will be performed separately for each off-
site reader. An additional, fourth, blinded reader will assess the coronary angiography images 
and provide a diagnosis of CAD.

Truth Standard Diagnosis
For subjects with coronary angiography as the truth standard, a subject will be diagnosed by the 
blinded off-site coronary angiography reader as Positive if percentage diameter stenosis of any of 
the vessels (RCA, LAD, LCx and LM) is ≥50%; otherwise, a subject will be considered as 
Negative. 
For the remaining subjects who didn’t have coronary angiography as the truth standard, a subject 
will be Positive if the subject had cardiac death, documented myocardial infarction, documented

10.6.1.2
Evaluation of CAD
The overall diagnostic echocardiographic conclusion will be classified by the off-site readers as 
Normal, Abnormal or Unevaluable for unenhanced (UEUS and UE-DSE) and LUMASON-
enhanced (CEUS and CE-DSE) echocardiography respectively. 
The diagnostic performance of echocardiography (UE-DSE and CE-DSE) will be derived based 
on the diagnosis from stress echocardiography and diagnosis from truth standard (see Table E).

*Unevaluable is defined as: inadequate visualization of segments comprising all coronary artery territories due to 
motion artifacts, lateral wall drop out, swirling or attenuation artifacts.
The null hypothesis is that there is no difference in sensitivity/specificity between CE-DSE and 
UE-DSE at peak stress; the alternative hypothesis is that CE-DSE is superior to UE-DSE in 
terms of higher sensitivity/specificity: 
H0:  DiagCE - DiagUE 0,
Ha:  DiagCE - DiagUE > 0; 
where DiagCE and DiagUE denote sensitivity/specificity for CE-DSE and UE-DSE at peak stress
respectively.
The sensitivity and the specificity along with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) will be 
calculated, and the difference in sensitivity/specificity will be tested using McNemar's Chi-
square 2-sided test.
In addition, inter-reader agreement for the detection/exclusion of CAD for CE-DSE and UE-DSE 
will be evaluated by kappa statistic.
10.6.2
Co-Primary Efficacy Endpoint – Critical Shift of Subjects with Suboptimal 
Images to Adequate Images
The co-primary endpoint:  The proportion of subjects with suboptimal images (≥2 adjacent 
segments with inadequate LV EBD in any of the 3 apical views) at UE-DSE converted to 
adequate images (reduction of suboptimal adjacent segments to obtain adequate images) at CE-
DSE will be estimated along with the 95% CIs.

Additionally, the following supportive analyses will be performed:

proportion of subjects with optimal images at UE-DSE to suboptimal (≥2 adjacent 
segments with inadequate LV EBD in any of the 3 apical views) at CE-DSE in terms of 
LV EBD visualization will be estimated along with the 95% CIs.

The percentage of patients with at least one segment with inadequate border delineation 
will also be summarized for each of the views for both UE-DSE and CE-DSE.

Inter-reader agreement among 3 off-site readers on the critical shift of subjects with 
suboptimal images at UE-DSE to adequate images at CE-DSE will be evaluated by kappa 
statistic.
10.6.3
Secondary Efficacy Endpoints
For the secondary efficacy endpoint of change in total LV EBD scores at peak stress from UE-
DSE to CE-DSE, the total LV EBD score is calculated as the sum of the individual scores (0, 1, 
or 2) assigned to each of the 17 ventricle segments with a range from 0 to 34. 
For each blinded reader assessment, paired t-test will be used to compare total LV EBD score 
between the CE-DSE and UE-DSE. Summary statistics will be provided for the total LV EBD 
score from UE-DSE and CE-DSE. The change in total LV EBD score from UE-DSE to CE-DSE
will be summarized along with the 95% CIs and tested by paired t-test. The cross tabulated (for 
UE-DSE vs. CE-DSE) distribution of the individual scores (0, 1, or 2) assigned to each of the 17 
ventricle segments will be presented.
Inter-reader agreement among 3 off-site readers on the EBD score for each segment from UE-
DSE and CE-DSE will be evaluated by kappa statistic.
10.6.4
Success Criteria
The study will be considered a success if:

for the primary efficacy endpoint of sensitivity/specificity, CE-DSE is superior to UE-
DSE for at least 2 out of the 3 blinded readers and for the same 2 readers a lower limit of 
2-sided 95% CI for sensitivity/specificity is ≥50% (a rate considered greater than 
chance);

for co-primary efficacy endpoint of proportion of subjects with critical shift of 
suboptimal images at UE-DSE to adequate images at CE-DSE, for at least 2 out of the 3 
blinded readers lower limit of 2-sided 95% CI is above 35%.
10.7
Sample Size
Software nQuery Advisor 7.0 is used for sample size determination in this study.
As suggested by FDA during the type C meeting on 13Aug2014, and as also reinforced and 
documented in the official meeting minutes issued by FDA on 24Sep2014, this study needs to 
demonstrate 1) a significant improvement in diagnostic performance endpoints, i.e., 
sensitivity/specificity from unenhanced stress imaging (UE-DSE) to contrast-enhanced stress

imaging (CE-DSE) in term of detection and exclusion of CAD, and 2) lower the CI of CE-DSE 
sensitivity and specificity greater than 50% (a rate greater than chance).
For significant improvement in diagnostic performance endpoints, the null hypothesis is that 
there is no difference in sensitivity/specificity between CE-DSE and UE-DSE at peak stress; the 
alternative hypothesis is that CE-DSE is superior to UE-DSE in terms of higher 
sensitivity/specificity: 
H0:  DiagCE - DiagUE 0,
Ha:  DiagCE - DiagUE > 0; 
where DiagCE and DiagUE denote sensitivity/specificity for CE-DSE and UE-DSE at peak stress
respectively.
With 2-sided significance level (alpha) of 5%, and the probability of a Type II error () of 0.20, 
assuming expected difference between CE-DSE and UE-DSE is 25%,1 and the proportion of 
discordant pairs is 40%, 45 subjects will be needed for sensitivity/specificity respectively. 
For lower CI of CE-DSE sensitivity/specificity greater than 50%, assuming sensitivity/specificity 
of CE-DSE = 65%, about 45 CAD positive subjects are needed to have 95% confidence that the 
lower limit of sensitivity >50%, and 45 CAD negative subjects are needed to have 95% 
confidence that lower limit of specificity>50%.  
Assuming approximately 30% of subjects enrolled will be CAD positive,13 in order to obtain 45 
CAD positive subjects, 150 subjects in total need to be enrolled. With a total of 150 subjects 
enrolled, this will also provide more than enough CAD negative subjects according to the above 
calculations.  The prevalence of positive subjects will be tracked based on on-site CAD diagnosis 
from the truth standard and if less than 30% of subjects are CAD positive, additional subjects 
will need to be enrolled to obtain sufficient CAD positive subjects.
For the co-primary endpoint of critical shift from suboptimal at UE-DSE images to adequate 
images at CE-DSE, sample size assumptions are based on the results from the previous pivotal 
phase III Bracco-sponsored study 
).22 This study had 44.8%-46.0% of the subjects 
converted from suboptimal at UEUS to adequate at LUMASON-enhanced echocardiography
(CEUS) at rest. When the sample size is 150, a 2-sided 95% CI for a single proportion using the 
large sample normal approximation will extend 8% from the observed proportion for an expected
proportion of 45% subjects with critical shift from suboptimal at UE-DSE images to adequate 
images at CE-DSE. This can be translated as lower limit of 95% CI >35% for the observed 
proportion of subjects with critical shift.
Considering approximately 15% of subjects enrolled are anticipated to dropout, approximately 
175 subjects will need to be enrolled.

LUMASON Reconstitution
LUMASON is supplied within a kit containing the following: 

a clear glass vial labeled as LUMASON (sulfur hexafluoride lipid microsphere) for 
Injectable Suspension,

a prefilled syringe labeled as Sodium Chloride Injection, USP, 0.9% Sodium Chloride 
(DILUENT), and 

a Mini-Spike.  
Glass vial
Prefilled syringe and 
its plunger rod
Mini-Spike 
Reconstitution steps:

Prior to LUMASON reconstitution, inspect the kit and its components for signs of damage.  Do 
not use the kit if the protective caps on the vial and prefilled syringe are not intact or if the kit 
shows other signs of damage.  

Perform all LUMASON reconstitution steps under aseptic conditions.  The LUMASON vial 
and the prefilled syringe do not contain a bacteriostatic preservative.  

LUMASON is reconstituted by injecting the prefilled syringe contents (5 mL saline) into the 
LUMASON vial using the following illustrated steps below.  
1. Connect the plunger rod to the prefilled 
syringe barrel by screwing it clockwise into the 
syringe (see Figure 1).
