About this study

Official title: Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic of Inhaled Milrinone in Cardiac Surgical Patients

The purpose of this study is to investigate the concentration-effect relationship of inhaled milrinone after prophylactic administration in cardiac surgical patients with preoperative pulmonary hypertension undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass.

What is being measured

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

  1. Study the elimination rate of milrinone administered by inhalation

    Measured: up to 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Demonstrate the presence or absence of hemodynamic and echographic effects observed after inhalation of milrinone

    hemodynamic values evaluated will be: central venous pressure, systolic and diastolic pulmonary pressure, wedge, cardiac output, cardiac frequency, systolic and diastolic pressure, SaO2, EtCO2. Patient will also have arterial and venous gaz. Echographic values will be evaluated to see the cardiac fonction: left and right ventricular systolic and diastolic function and valvular function.

    Measured: 15 min after the of study drug administration

  2. Confirmation of the safety of inhaled milrinone

    Verification of the absence of deleterious effects on cardiac output and systemic arterial pressure.

    Measured: 24 hours after cardiac surgery

  3. Determination of the efficacy of inhaled milrinone in the treatment of pulmonary hypertension

    Efficacy in the treatment of pulmonary hypertension is defined as a reduction of the mean pulmonary pressure of 10-20 %

    Measured: 15 min after end of milrinone administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Inhaled milrinone 5 mg in people with Pulmonary Hypertension, run by Montreal Heart Institute at 1 site in Canada.

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 6 inclusion and 4 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 14 Nov 2012. 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 Canada. 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 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?

Study the elimination rate of milrinone administered by inhalation (time frame: up to 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 14 Nov 2012.
