Trial summary

Ischemia reperfusion injury may be reduced by ischemic preconditioning. This projects aims to show the effects of short and long time ischemic preconditioning (both sequences 3 x 5 minutes) during and after an ischemic period of 20 minutes in healthy subjects by functional MRI.

About this study

Ischemia reperfusion injury may be reduced by ischemic preconditioning. This projects aims to show the effects of short and long time ischemic preconditioning (both sequences 3 x 5 minutes) during and after an ischemic period of 20 minutes in healthy subjects by functional MRI. Ischemia is produces by cuff inflation to a suprasystolic pressure on one tight. Signal is acquired from calf muscles.

A cross-over design of 4 to 8 study periods is used, 4 different study days with 2 different MR measurement methods (BOLD imaging and high energy phosphates) are planned.

What participants receive

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

  • preconditioningProcedure or surgery

    3 times of five minutes ischemia, produced by cuff inflation to a suprasystolic pressure positioned on the thigh

  • no preconditioningProcedure or surgery

    no preconditioning

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in cellular high energy phosphate levels and venous pH concentration for 31P MRS

    Measured: during and 30 min after ischemia

  2. Main outcome variables: Change in cellular oxygen saturation for BOLD MRI

    Measured: during and 30 minutes after ischemia

  3. Serum markers of myocellular injury (myoglobin, creatine-kinase)

    Measured: prior to, directly and 24 hours after ischemia

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing preconditioning and no preconditioning in people with Ischemia, run by Medical University of Vienna at 1 site in Austria.

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 7 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 17 Apr 2009. 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 Austria. 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?

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?

Change in cellular high energy phosphate levels and venous pH concentration for 31P MRS (time frame: during and 30 min after ischemia). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00883467, 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 17 Apr 2009.
