About this study

Official title: Rehabilitation After Coronary Bypass Grafting: Home Based Rehabilitation Versus Rehabilitation in Institution and Rehabilitation in Institution Versus Out-patient Rehabilitation at the Hospital

The purpose of this study is to compare different types of rehabilitation after coronary bypass surgery. The investigators wish to compare rehabilitation in an institution for four weeks with a home based rehabilitation. They also wish to compare rehabilitation in an institution for four weeks with a rehabilitation program were the patients live at home but visit the hospital twice a week for twelve week. The investigators will measure the patients' physical capacity by measuring their maximal oxygen consumption. The investigators will also analyze their blood and their endothelian function (how well their arteries dilate).

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • Rehabilitation in institutionBehavioural

    Rehabilitation in institution for four weeks. Subjects follow standard rehabilitation in the center.

  • Rehabilitation at homeBehavioural

    Subjects get a written prescription of exercise training, diet, etc. to follow at home.

  • Out-patient rehabilitation at the hospitalBehavioural

    This intervention was removed. We never got time to randomize subjects into this category. We had planned to randomize patients from one hospital to either Rehabilitation in institution (rehab center) or rehabilitation at the hospital (out patient). And also patients from another hospital to either rehabilitation in institution (rehab centre) or rehabilitation at home. We have only managed to start the study in this second hospital so far (due to maternity leave and limited time to finish a PhD)

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximal oxygen consumption

    Measured: At baseline and after 6 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Blood analyses (different markers for cardiovascular risk and endothelian function)

    Measured: At baseline and after 6 months

  2. Endothelian function (flow mediated dilatation)

    Measured: At baseline and after 6 months

  3. Quality of life (SF36 and MacNew)

    Measured: At baseline and after 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Rehabilitation in institution, Rehabilitation at home and Out-patient rehabilitation at the hospital in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Norwegian University of Science and Technology at 1 site in Norway.

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 4 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 29 Sep 2015. 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 Norway. 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?

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?

Maximal oxygen consumption (time frame: At baseline and after 6 months). 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 NCT00363922, 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 29 Sep 2015.
