About this study

Official title: Phase 4 Study Comparing Albumin 5%, Hydroxyethylstrach 130/0.4 (6%) and Ringer Lactate for Volume Replacement During Cardiac Surgery

The aim of the study is to compare three different regimens for volume replacement during cardiac surgery, e.g. Albumin 5%, Hydroxyethylstarch 130/0.4 (HES) and Ringer-Lactate (RL).

Main Outcome parameters: chest tube drainage and coagulation parameters. The investigators hypothesis is that HES is as safe as Albumin, however less expensive. Whether RL is an even less expensive and as safe alternative has to be shown.

What is being measured

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

  1. chest tube drainage

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (18)
  1. Hemoglobin concentration

    Measured: induction of anesthesia = baseline

  2. Hematocrit value

    Measured: induction of anesthesia = baseline

  3. platelet count

    Measured: induction of anesthesia = baseline

  4. activated clotting time

    Measured: induction of anesthesia = baseline

  5. Modified thromboelastometry coagulation analysis (ROTEM, Pentapharm, Munich, Germany)

    using 3 activators: intrinsic ROTEM (InTEM, extrinsic ROTEM (ExTEM), finbrinogen ROTEM (FibTEM)

    Measured: induction of anethesia = baseline

  6. Hemoglobin concentration

    Measured: average 1 hour on cardiopulmonary bypass

  7. Hematocrit value

    Measured: average 1 hour on cardiopulmonary bypass

  8. Modified thromboelastometry coagulation analysis (ROTEM, Pentapharm, Munich, Germany)

    using 3 activators: intrinsic ROTEM (InTEM, extrinsic ROTEM (ExTEM), finbrinogen ROTEM (FibTEM)

    Measured: average 1 hour on cardiopulmonary bypass

  9. activated clotting time

    Measured: average 1 hour on cardiopulmonary bypass

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing volume replacement and Humanalbumin 5% in people with Valvular Heart Disease and Coronary Artery Disease, 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 2 inclusion and 2 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 Apr 2015. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

chest tube drainage (time frame: 24 hours). 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 8 Apr 2015.
