About this study

Official title: COMParison of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor managemenT Strategies Prior to Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (the COMPACT Trial): a Pilot Randomized Controlled Registry Study

Coronary artery disease is a leading cause of death, hospitalization, and health care costs in developed nations. Coronary revascularization with coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery improves the long term survival in patients with diabetes and multi-vessel disease. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) reduce mortality and subsequent cardiac events in patients with coronary artery disease undergoing CABG surgery when initiated at least 4 weeks pre-operatively. Observational data have suggested that pre-operative ACE administration is associated with an increased risk of post-operative vasoplegic shock, acute kidney injury, and mortality; however, other studies have failed to confirm these findings and further suggested ACE are associated with a reduced risk of peri-operative myocardial infarction. A single trial of 40 CABG patients randomized to pre-operative ACE withdrawal or continuation reported that the withdrawal group required significantly fewer vasopressors during cardiopulmonary bypass but more intravenous vasodilators post-operatively to control hypertension. Hence, it remains unclear whether ACEs should be held or continued immediately prior to CABG surgery and a survey of cardiac surgeons suggests that current clinical practice is divided. This pilot study aims to establish the feasibility of the study design and to determine the frequency of clinical endpoints among patients who continue and discontinue ACE prior to cardiac surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ACE/ARB continuation and ACE/ARB withdrawal in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by University of Alberta 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 2 inclusion and 5 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 22 Mar 2018. 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?

Adherence to the study protocol (time frame: From randomization to surgery). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02096406, 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 22 Mar 2018.
