About this study

Patients undergoing multivessel off-pump coronary bypass surgery (OPCAB) inevitably experience cumulative ischemia-reperfusion injury at myocardium. Glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK) is a potentially useful adjunct to myocardial protection. This study was designed to evaluate the effects of GIK infusion on myocardium in patients undergoing OPCAB. Patients undergoing OPCAB with acute coronary syndrome are randomly assigned to GIK or Control group. The trial is double-blind and conducted at a single center.

Being tested
GIK solution

What participants receive

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

  • GIK solutionDrug

    Also called glucose-insulin-potassium(GIK) solution

    Patients receive 0.3 ml/kg/hr GIK solution or the same volume of normal saline depending on the group during off-pump coronary bypass surgery. GIK solution consist of 50% glucose, potassium 80 mEq, and regular insulin 325 IU/500ml.

What is being measured

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

  1. CK-MB(creatinine kinase-MB) mass

    Comparison of cardiac enzyme elevation after surgery between GIK and Control group.

    Measured: 12 hours after the surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing GIK solution in people with Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by Yonsei University 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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Mar 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 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 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?

CK-MB(creatinine kinase-MB) mass (time frame: 12 hours after the 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 NCT01384656, 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 Mar 2013.
