About this study

Official title: Effects of Oral Nitrate During Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

The purpose of this study is to determine whether oral sodium nitrate administration prior to coronary artery bypass surgery can reduce perioperative levels of troponin T. In addition, plasma and urine surrogate markers of renal, hepatic and brain injury will be monitored.

Read the detailed description

Nitric oxide (NO) is an important mediator in the cardiovascular system and has been shown to have protective properties in ischemia-reperfusion injury. Inorganic nitrate, an oxidation product from endogenous NO production and also a constituent in green leafy vegetables, can be recycled, via nitrite, back to bioactive NO in the body. Recent research has shown beneficial effects of nitrate and nitrite in animal models of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. Moreover, dietary nitrate reduces blood pressure and oxygen cost during exercise in humans.

During coronary bypass surgery the heart undergoes ischemia-reperfusion injury and troponin T is most often released from the myocardium. The aim of the present study is to investigate if preoperative inorganic nitrate, in doses easily achievable from the diet, can affect troponin T release as well as other surrogate markers of injury to the liver, kidneys and the brain. In addition, plasma and urine samples will be collected for markers of oxidative stress and inflammation (sCRP and cytokines). Patients planned for bypass surgery who give their written informed consent will, the night before surgery, get a standardized, low-nitrate meal where after they receive sodium nitrate on two occasions preoperatively; the night before and in the morning before surgery. Plasma and urine samples will be collected at various time points up to 72 hours after surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sodium nitrate and Sodium chloride in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Karolinska Institutet at 1 site in Sweden.

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 8 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 26 Sep 2013. 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 Sweden. 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 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?

Troponin T release over the perioperative 72-hour period. (time frame: 72 hours). 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 NCT01348971, 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 26 Sep 2013.
