Trial summary

The investigators hypothesize that the application of 30% xenon as an adjuvant to general anesthesia with a target-controlled infusion of propofol is superior to general anesthesia with propofol alone with respect to hemodynamic stability. Read more about this study

What is being measured

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

  1. intraoperative haemodynamic stability

    Haemodynamic stability as assessed by the individual intraoperative noradrenaline consumption

    Measured: intra-operative

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. MACCE (major adverse cardiac and cerebral events)

    Death from any cause, perioperative life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, perioperative myocardial infarction, requirement of surgical revisions at the coronary vessels, postoperative coronary angioplasty and stroke

    Measured: up to six months postoperative

  2. cerebrovascular accident not included in MACCE

    cerebrovascular accident not included in MACCE (TIA, reversible ischaemic neurologic deficit)

    Measured: up to six months postoperative

  3. postoperative renal function

    postoperative renal function as assessed by serum creatinine and BUN levels)

    Measured: up to five days postoperative

  4. requirement for blood(product) transfusion

    requirement for blood(product) transfusion

    Measured: up to five days postoperative

  5. length of stay

    requirement for blood(product) transfusion

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 10 days.

  6. severity of postoperative critical illness

    Severity of postoperative critical illness as indicated by the new simplified acute physiology score (SAPS II), SOFA and APACHE-II score

    Measured: up to five days postoperative

  7. incidence and duration of postoperative delirium

    incidence and duration of postoperative delirium assessed with the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM-ICU), to be assessed in combination with the Mini Mental State Examination

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expectged average of 10 days

  8. incidence of further AE, SAE and SUSAR

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 10 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Xenon and propofol and propofol in people with Coronary Artery Disease and Anesthesia, run by Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven at 1 site in Belgium.

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 3 inclusion and 9 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 17 Apr 2015. 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 Belgium. 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?

intraoperative haemodynamic stability (time frame: intra-operative). 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 NCT01948765, 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 17 Apr 2015.
