About this study

The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of a combination of insulin resistance reducing agents pre and post coronary artery bypass grafting surgery on post-operative blood glucose and oxidative stress regulation.

Read the detailed description

The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of a combination of insulin resistance reducing agents pre and post coronary artery bypass grafting surgery on post-operative blood glucose and oxidative stress regulation. The sample size was estimated to be 92 (23 in each group). The participants of the study were selected from the non-diabetic patients scheduled for CABG. The patients were allocated to four groups using balanced block randomization method:

  1. Consumption of the supplement (a 20 gram pack of the supplement daily) 7 days before surgery and placebo (a pack of starch) 30 days post surgery
  2. Consumption of placebo 7 days before surgery and supplement 30 days post surgery
  3. Consumption of the supplement 7 days before and 30 days post surgery
  4. Consumption of placebo 7 days before and 30 days post surgery One week before, before the onset of the surgery, after the surgery, 1 week after and 4 weeks after the operation, blood samples were taken and the levels of hemoglobin A1C, glucose, insulin and malondialdehyde were measured. Also, body composition indices were assessed in four times: one week before the surgery, before the onset of the surgery, 1 week after and 4 weeks after the surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Serum glucose

    It was measured in 5 steps:

    1 week before the operation, Just before the operation, After operation, 1 week post operation, 30 days post operation

    Measured: 37days

  2. serum insulin

    It was measured in 5 steps:

    1 week before the operation, Just before the operation, After operation, 1 week post operation, 30 days post operation

    Measured: 37 days

  3. Hemoglobin A1C

    It was measured in 4 steps:

    1 week before the operation, Just before the operation, 1 week post operation, 30 days post operation

    Measured: 37 days

  4. Insulin Resistance

    Calculated by HOMA calculation equation

    It was calculated in 5 steps:

    1 week before the operation, Just before the operation, After operation, 1 week post operation, 30 days post operation

    Measured: 37 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Body Composition changes

    It was measured in 4 steps:

    1 week before the operation, Just before the operation, 1 week post operation, 30 days post operation

    Measured: 37 days

  2. malondialdehyde

    It was measured in 5 steps:

    1 week before the operation, Just before the operation, After operation, 1 week post operation, 30 days post operation

    Measured: 37 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Supplement pre CABG, Supplement post CABG and Supplement pre and post CABG in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Mohammad Hassan Eftekhari.

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 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 24 Oct 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Serum glucose (time frame: 37days). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 Oct 2014.
