Trial summary

In recent several clinical trials, remote preconditioning showed very powerful myocardial protection. However, the myocardial protective effect by remote preconditioning was not evaluated on the patients undergoing off pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery (OPCAB). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of Lower Limb Remote Preconditioning on Myocardial Injury in Patients Undergoing Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery

In recent several clinical trials, remote preconditioning showed very powerful myocardial protection. However, the myocardial protective effect by remote preconditioning was not evaluated on the patients undergoing off pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery (OPCAB).

The investigators hypothesized that the lower limb remote preconditioning could protect the myocardium during the OPCAB. In this study, the investigators will try to evaluate whether remote preconditioning could induce myocardial protection on the OPCAB patients.

Read the detailed description

In recent two clinical trials on the patients undergoing cardiac surgery, remote preconditioning showed very powerful myocardial protection by simple and safe procedures such as the brief inflation of pneumatic tourniquet on the upper or lower limb. However, despite these impressive results, the clinical studies are lacking yet. Moreover, two previous studies were done on the cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Considering different mechanism, level of myocardial injury and the increasing popularity of OPCAB, we need the clinical study on remote preconditioning with the OPCAB patients.

In this study, we will conduct randomized controlled clinical trials in which the remote preconditioning was induced by lower limb ischemia with double-blinded technique. Myocardial injury will be assessed by postoperative serum troponin I levels and they will be compared with those of control group.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing remote ischemic preconditioning in people with Ischemic Heart Disease, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 9 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 8 Oct 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 South Korea. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

postoperative serum troponin I levels (time frame: postoperatibe 1, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 hr). 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 NCT00889811, 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 8 Oct 2009.
