About this study

Official title: Desflurane-induced Myocardial Protection in Aortic Valve Surgery: A Pilot Study

This study examines pharmacological preconditioning and post conditioning of desflurane by comparing cardiac troponin release in patients receiving either desflurane or propofol for the aortic valve surgery.

Read the detailed description

Patients scheduled for aortic valve replacement with use of cardiopulmonary bypass are included in the study. Patients are assigned to desflurane group (Des) or propofol group (Prop). Des receives desflurane (1-2 MAC) inhalation between the induction of anesthesia and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). After the induction of CPB, the anesthesia in Des is switched to a total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with propofol. Prop receives a TIVA during the surgery. All patients receive a continuous infusion of remifentanil. Biomarker of myocardial damage troponin I is examined at 4 points; T1: after the induction of anesthesia, T2: arrival at ICU, T3: 12 hours after the ICU arrival, T4: 24 hours after the ICU arrival, T5: third post operative day (3POD).

What participants receive

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

  • DesfluraneDrug

    Also called SUPRANE

    Patients are assigned to desflurane group (Des) or propofol group (Prop). Des receives desflurane (1-2 MAC) inhalation between the induction of anesthesia and before cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). After the induction of CPB, the anesthesia in Des is switched to a total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with propofol. Prop receives a propofol during the surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Desflurane in people with Aortic Valve Stenosis, run by Nobuyuki Katori at 1 site in Japan.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Dec 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 Japan. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Nobuyuki Katori, M.D. (81-3-3353-1211 ext. 61608, nbyk@a5.keio.jp), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Troponin I (time frame: up to 3 days). 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 24 Dec 2013.
