About this study

Official title: Adenosine Instead of Supranormal Potassium in Crystalloid Cardioplegia, a Randomized Clinical Study

60 elective patients for CABG will be included to receive either standard hyperkalemic cardioplegia (St.Thomas Hospital Solution No I) or cardioplegia where supranormal potassium is replaced with 1.2 mM adenosine. Hypothesis as follows: 1. Adenosine instead of supranormal potassium in the cardioplegic solution give satisfactory cardiac arrest. 2. Adenosine instead of supranormal potassium in the cardioplegic solution gives equal cardioprotection. The patients will be followed with PiCCO-catheter to monitor cardiac function and repetitive blood samples to measure release of cardiac enzymes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Release of cardiac enzymes (TnT and CKMB)

    Repeatedly measured postoperatively.

    Measured: First 48 hour postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. PiCCO

    Measurement of cardiac function and hemodynamics the first 24 hours postoperatively

    Measured: First 24 hours postoperatively

  2. Endothelial injury

    Measurements of markers of endothelial injury/dysfunction peroperatively. Blood will be sampled immediately before cross-clamping the aorta and after 5 minutes of reperfusion.

    Measured: Peroperatively (before crossclamping aorta and after 5 minutes of reperfusion)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Adenosine in people with Angina Pectoris, run by University Hospital of North Norway at 1 site in Norway.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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 30 Sep 2011. 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 Norway. 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 combined 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.

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?

Release of cardiac enzymes (TnT and CKMB) (time frame: First 48 hour postoperatively). 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 NCT01123525, 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 30 Sep 2011.
