Trial summary

The impact of the postoperative inflammatory response on the central nervous system after cardiac surgery is uncertain. The goal of this study was to evaluate the role of complement activation on cellular brain injury and neurological functioning in patients undergoing coronary artery surgery.

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • Men only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • men undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass

Who cannot join

  • clinical conditions expected to potentially influence the magnitude of the systemic inflammatory response after surgery such as open heart surgery, women because they show higher complement activation after surgery, redo cases, organ dysfunction as defined by the Euroscore such as chronic airway disease or renal dysfunction with creatinine level above 200 µmol/L, patients with left ventricular ejection fraction below 35%, diabetes mellitus under insulin therapy prior to the operation, presence of active inflammatory disease or patients taking anti-inflammatory drugs (except acetylsalicylic acid).
  • significant carotid artery stenoses (>70%) at the preoperative echo-doppler examination, evidence of preexisting neurologic or psychiatric disease, existence of preoperative neuropsychological impairment as defined by preoperative Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) below 27, and alcohol addiction.

About this study

Official title: Biocompatible Cardiopulmonary Bypass and Neuropsychological Outcome After Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

The impact of the postoperative inflammatory response on the central nervous system after cardiac surgery is uncertain.

The goal of this study was to evaluate the role of complement activation on cellular brain injury and neurological functioning in patients undergoing coronary artery surgery. In addition, the effect of complement activation on the cerebral vasomotricity was assessed.

Because receptors to activated complement are present on astrocytes, the heparin-coated cardiopulmonary bypass that reduces complement activation should minimize these postoperative neurological adverse events. Heparin-coating might also influence blood flow velocity in cerebral arteries postoperatively if complement activation mediates cardiopulmonary bypass induced cerebral vasomotor dysfunction.

Read the detailed description

Closed cardiopulmonary bypass and controlled suctions of pericardial shed blood were standardized in all patients.

Bedside transcranial Doppler examination served to evaluate the development of cerebral vasomotor dysfunction in a subgroup of patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing heparin-coated cardiopulmonary bypass in people with Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting, run by University Hospital, Angers.

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 1 inclusion and 2 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 16 Sep 2005. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

sC5b-9 release. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00188006, 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 16 Sep 2005.
