What participants receive

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

  • remote ischemic preconditioningProcedure or surgery

    Remote ischemic preconditioning will be induced by four 5-min cycles of upper limb ischemia and 5-min reperfusion with a blood-pressure cuff inflated to 200 mmHg and be performed before and after the coronary anastomosis

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 Asan Medical Center 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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Aug 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. 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.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact In-Cheol Choi, professor (+82-2-3010-3862, icchoi@amc.seoul.kr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

cognitive function (time frame: preoperative, 1 week and 6 months after surgery). 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 NCT00953368, 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 6 Aug 2009.
