About this study

Official title: Outcomes With Use Of Intensive Insulin Therapy In Intraoperative Management Of Hyperglycemia In Adult Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery

Patients with or without diabetes may have high blood sugar levels due to stress response of the body during heart surgery. This study is being done to determine if maintaining normal blood sugar levels during open-heart surgery by using intravenous insulin results in a lesser incidence of death, wound infections in the chest, disturbances of heart rhythm, kidney failure, stroke and prolonged time on the breathing machine (artificial ventilation) within 30 days after surgery.

Read the detailed description

Rigorous intraoperative glycemic control may be of paramount importance in affecting outcomes after cardiac surgery. There is evidence that strict control of glucose levels postoperatively results in improved outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. There is currently no consensus on optimal management of hyperglycemia intraoperatively. The aim of this prospective randomized controlled clinical trial is to determine whether normalization of intraoperative glucose levels with insulin improves outcomes. The comparison group will be treated with current standard practice to control hyperglycemia during surgery. The primary outcome is a composite of mortality, sternal wound infections, prolonged pulmonary ventilation, cardiac arrhythmias (new-onset atrial fibrillation, heart block requiring permanent pacemaker, cardiac arrest), stroke and acute or worsening renal failure within 30 days after surgery. Secondary outcome measures are length of intensive care unit and hospital stay as well as safety and efficacy of the study insulin infusion protocol.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Insulin infusion with a goal in people with Cardiac Surgical Procedures and Hyperglycemia, run by Mayo Clinic 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 3 inclusion and 5 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 23 May 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Mortality. The study lists 5 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 NCT00282698, 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 23 May 2011.
