About this study

Official title: Influence of Extracorporeal Circulation on Platelet Function of Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery - a Prospective Observational Study

This study is planned to investigate the relationship between duration of extracorporeal circulation and the extent of (acquired) platelet dysfunctions in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Read the detailed description

Patients undergoing complex cardiac surgery are planned to be included. At several intra- and postoperative measuring point, blood is drawn for multiple electrode aggregometry to investigate ex-vivo platelet aggregation as a surrogate for platelet function.

Transfusion rate of allogenic blood products as well as postoperative blood loss is planned to be recorded.

Being tested
Multiple electrode aggregometry analyses (Multiple Electrode Aggregometry, Multiplate(R), Verum Diagnostica, Munich, Germany)
Keywords
extracorporeal circulation, platelet dysfunction, Multiplate electrode aggregometry analyses, Multiplate

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in arachidonic acid induced platelet aggregation as compared to baseline (before extracorporeal circulation)

    Multiple Electrode aggregometry parameters

    Measured: Baseline (before extracorporeal circulation) and 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 minutes after extracorporal circulation as well as ad admission to ICU

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Changes in Adenosin Diphosphate (ADP) and Thrombin induced platelet aggregation as compared to baseline (before extracorporeal circulation)

    Multiple electrode aggregometry analyses

    Measured: Baseline (before extracorporeal circulation) and 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 minutes after extracorporal circulation as well as ad admission to ICU

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acquired Platelet Function Disorder, run by Goethe University at 1 site in Germany.

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 1 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 28 Oct 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 Germany. 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.

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?

Changes in arachidonic acid induced platelet aggregation as compared to baseline (before extracorporeal circulation) (time frame: Baseline (before extracorporeal circulation) and 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 minutes after extracorporal circulation as well as ad admission to ICU). 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 NCT01354847, 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 28 Oct 2013.
