About this study

Official title: Prospective Randomized Study of Glutamin Protective Properties in Cardiac Surgery.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether perioperative glutamine administration possess protective properties on internal organs (heart and gut) in patients with coronary atherosclerosis, operated under cardiopulmonary bypass.

Being tested
N(2)-L-Alanine L-Glutamine dipeptide, Placebo
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • N(2)-L-Alanine L-Glutamine dipeptideDrug

    Also called Dipeptiven (N(2)-L-Alanine L-Glutamine dipeptide)

    Intravenous infusion of glutamine in total dose of 2 g/kg/day (rate=2*weight/24 ml/h). Infusion starts in operating room and ends next day after the surgery.

  • PlaceboDrug

    Intravenous infusion of 0,9% solution of NaCl, rate=2*weight/24. Infusion starts in operating room and ends next day after the surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing N(2)-L-Alanine L-Glutamine dipeptide in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Meshalkin Research Institute of Pathology of Circulation at 1 site in Russia.

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 7 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 1 Nov 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 Russia. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 I (time frame: Induction to anaesthesia, 30 min after cardiopulmonary bypass, 6, 24 hours after CPB). 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 NCT01478126, 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 1 Nov 2013.
