About this study

Official title: A Pilot, Multi-Center, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate Nesiritide Infusion, Initiated Post-Induction of Anesthesia, in the Management of Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) Patients Requiring CardioPulmonary Bypass (CPB)

The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of nesiritide compared to placebo when given with standard of care therapies, on kidney function, heart function and the need of other treatments in heart failure patients undergoing heart bypass graft surgery that requires the use of a cardiopulmonary bypass machine (CPB pump or heart-lung machine).

Read the detailed description

In coronary heart disease (CHD), the coronary arteries become clogged with calcium and fatty deposits. The deposits, called plaques, narrow the arteries that carry blood to the heart muscle and could cause ischemic heart disease (too little blood and oxygen reaching the heart muscle). Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery is a treatment option for ischemic heart disease. CABG surgery is surgery to create new routes for blood to flow around narrowed and blocked arteries so that the heart muscle will receive needed oxygen and nutrients. Acute kidney injury is a serious risk of CABG surgery while on CPB pump (heart-lung machine), which could result from ischemia during and following surgery. This study is a double-blind (neither the patient nor the doctor knows whether the patient is assigned to receive study drug or placebo), randomized (assigned to treatment by chance), placebo-controlled (study drug results compared to placebo results) study to determine the effectiveness of nesiritide compared to placebo when given to HF patients undergoing CABG surgery requiring the use of a CPB pump . Patients will be enrolled into the study until 250 patients have received study drug or placebo. Patients will be randomized to one of two treatment groups in a 1:1 ratio (nesiritide plus standard care: placebo plus standard care) within each site. Study medication administration will be initiated after measurement of qualifying baseline hemodynamics and prior to chest incision. Nesiritide or placebo will be administered as a continuous IV infusion at a rate of 0.01 mcg/kg/min for a minimum of 24 hours and a maximum of 96 hours. Patients will be followed through 30 days from start of study drug. All patients may receive additional standard care medications including inotropes, pressors, vasopressin, antiarrhythmics, diuretics, nitrates, and nitric oxide as needed. Patient safety will be monitored throughout the study through physical exams, vital signs (heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and temperature), blood tests, and side effects. A follow-up communication 180 days after the start of study drug was implemented to collect mortality data. The patients assigned to the nesiritide group will receive a continuous I.V. infusion at 0.010 mcg/kg/min of nesiritide for at least 24 hours and could be extended to up to 96 hours. The patients assigned to the placebo group will receive matching placebo.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline serum creatinine, total inotrope/vasopressor/vasodialator use during first 24 hours, average change from baseline of mean PAP for 24 hours from study start or after removal of catheter and 24-hour urine output after ICU/CCU admission

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Time to extubation, Time to discharge from ICU/CCU and hospital, Time on CPB, Adverse Events, and Change from baseline in hemodynamic parameters

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Nesiritide in people with Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery and Coronary Heart Disease, run by Scios, Inc..

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 4 inclusion and 14 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 19 May 2011. 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.

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?

Change from baseline serum creatinine, total inotrope/vasopressor/vasodialator use during first 24 hours, average change from baseline of mean PAP for 24 hours from study start or after removal of catheter and 24-hour urine output after ICU/CCU admission. 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 19 May 2011.
