About this study

Official title: Enhancement of Tissue Preservation During Cardiopulmonary Bypass With HBOC-201 (Registry Study)

The purpose of this study is to determine if Hemopure® will enhance tissue preservation during Cardiopulmonary Bypass surgery.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective is to determine the safety and feasibility of administering Hemopure® (HBOC-201) to reduce myocardial necrosis, as measured by CK-MB enzyme elevation, and enhance tissue preservation during cardiopulmonary bypass.

Being tested
HBOC-201 (hemoglobin glutamer-250 bovine)
Keywords
Coronary Artery Bypass Graft, memory loss after cardiac surgery, side effects of bypass
Medical subject headings
Coronary Artery Disease

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • HBOC-201 (hemoglobin glutamer-250 bovine)Drug

    HBOC-201 is an investigational solution of purified, glutaraldehyde-polymerized bovine hemoglobin with a concentration of hemoglobin of 13 ± 1 g/dL

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing HBOC-201 (hemoglobin glutamer-250 bovine) in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Biopure Corporation at 3 sites in 3 countries.

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 5 inclusion and 18 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 May 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Greece, South Africa, United Kingdom. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Tiana Gorham (tgorham@biopure.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of peak CK-MB elevation ≥ 5X upper limit of normal (time frame: Baseline; Peri-op; Days 1,2,3 post procedure; Discharge or Day 6 post procedure(whichever is earlier)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 May 2008.
