Trial summary

This study is being done to determine if lidocaine, administered during surgery and for 24 hours after surgery can reduce inflammation, thereby reducing the risk of atrial fibrillation and 30 day mortality after surgery. Participants undergoing cardiac surgery will be randomized to receive either lidocaine or placebo. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Perioperative Intravenous Lidocaine on Postoperative Outcomes After Cardiac Surgery

This study is being done to determine if lidocaine, administered during surgery and for 24 hours after surgery can reduce inflammation, thereby reducing the risk of atrial fibrillation and 30 day mortality after surgery. Participants undergoing cardiac surgery will be randomized to receive either lidocaine or placebo.

Read the detailed description

Subjects undergoing cardiac surgery are randomized into one of two groups.

  • Group 1: Intravenous Lidocaine Group
  • Group 2: Intravenous placebo Group

Either Lidocaine or placebo is administered throughout surgery and 24 hours after surgery.

Patients in both groups will undergo quality of life assessments and functional recovery assessments post-surgery.

What participants receive

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

What is being measured

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

  1. atrial fibrillation

    To test the hypothesis that lidocaine infusion started at induction of anesthesia and maintained for 24 hours postoperatively will decrease the incidence of atrial fibrillation compared to an intravenous saline control.

    Measured: postoperatively

  2. mortality

    To test the hypothesis that lidocaine infusion started at induction of anesthesia and maintained for 24 hours postoperatively will decrease the incidence of 30 day mortality as compared to an intravenous saline control.

    Measured: 30 days post surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lidocaine in people with Atrial Fibrillation, run by The Cleveland Clinic at 1 site in India.

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Mar 2019. 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 India. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Problem with enrollment). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

atrial fibrillation (time frame: postoperatively). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 29 Mar 2019.
