Trial summary

In this study the focus will be on correlating the levels of platelet activation markers (proteins that are released when blood cells are activated)to the duration of cardiopulmonary bypass, temperature during cardiopulmonary bypass and the weight of the patient. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of Cardiopulmonary Bypass on Platelet Activation Markers Such as Platelet Factor 4 and Transforming Growth Factor B, in Pediatric Cardiac Surgery

In this study the focus will be on correlating the levels of platelet activation markers (proteins that are released when blood cells are activated)to the duration of cardiopulmonary bypass, temperature during cardiopulmonary bypass and the weight of the patient.

Read the detailed description

This research is being done because we would like to learn more about platelet dysfunction in children undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass.

It has been an established fact that cardiopulmonary bypass causes dysfunction in platelets. Activation of platelets during cardiopulmonary bypass is implicated as being a major factor in causing platelet dysfunction.

For all participants, approximately 3.15 ml of blood will be collected in special tubes called CTAD tubes, before and after cardiopulmonary bypass (6.30ml in total). This amount of blood draw is well within the guidelines of NIH (National Institute of Health).

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) will be performed using this plasma to make quantitative assessment of Platelet factor 4 and Transforming growth factor beta.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Disease, run by Weill Medical College of Cornell University 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 6 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 1 Mar 2012. 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 NCT00450151, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 1 Mar 2012.
