Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if a difference exists in the inflammatory response which occurs related to coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)surgery performed on cardiopulmonary bypass as compared to CABG surgery performed off bypass at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine if a difference exists in the inflammatory response which occurs related to coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)surgery performed on cardiopulmonary bypass as compared to CABG surgery performed off bypass at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

Read the detailed description

Acute inflammatory response occurring in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) patients has been clearly associated with deleterious clinical outcomes. Increasing understanding of the pathophysiology of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) following CPB has facilitated the development of strategies to attenuate the damaging effects of cytokine-induced inflammation. For any strategy to be tested, one needs to clearly define and understand the inflammatory response occurring with CPB. Although this has been extensively studied, there is wide variation in the reported time course and magnitude of this response. This variation is, in part, due to the heterogeneous nature of the patient population studied (variable severity of illnesses, ejection fractions, co-morbidities, etc.). Hence, in our study, we propose to study the inflammatory response occurring in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) with and without the use of CPB in our institution, and to determine whether the severity of inflammatory response seen in CABG patients is associated with impairment of any specific clinical parameter in the immediate post-operative period (i.e., ventricular dysfunction, lung injury, bleeding, renal failure, etc).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Thoracic Surgery and Cardiopulmonary Bypass, run by University of Pittsburgh at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Apr 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00167349, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Apr 2011.
