Trial summary

Cardiac surgery leeds to a systematic inflammatory response induced by the surgical trauma and the use of the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Activation of inflammatory cascades can cause a systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) which is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Removal of Cytokine on Cardiopulmonary Bypass With CytoSorb® Compared to on- and Off-pump Myocardial Revascularization

Cardiac surgery leeds to a systematic inflammatory response induced by the surgical trauma and the use of the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Activation of inflammatory cascades can cause a systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) which is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Therefore, strategies to reduce the inflammatory response have a potential benefit for cardiac surgery patients.

The clinical benefit of reducing proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, Il-8 and TNF-a with the use of a cytokine adsorbing circuit (Cytosorb) during CBP remains unclear. Therefore, the investigators conduct this prospective, observational pilot study to determine the clinical impact of the use of a cytokine adsorbing circuit during CBP.

Read the detailed description

Patients, who have an elective myocardial revascularization and give there written consent will be enrolled to the study. Demographic, intraoperative, and postoperative data will be collected prospectively. Furthermore, blood samples (1. before induction of anaesthesia 2. at the end of CPB 3. 6 hours after surgery 4. 24 hours after surgery 5. 3-5 days after surgery) will be analyzed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evolution of the inflammatory response

    Il-6; Il-8; TNF-a; C3/C4-complement Leucocytes CRP

    Measured: Change from Baseline in cytokine level direct after surgery, 6 and 24 hours after surgery; 5. postoperative day

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Length of ICU and hospital stay

    Length of ICU and hospital stay

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

  2. Length of ventilation

    Length of ventilation (hours)

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

  3. Length of catecholamine therapy

    Length of catecholamine therapy

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

  4. kidney injury

    kidney injury defined as an increase in SCr by ≥1.0 mg/dl (≥26.5 μmol/l) after surgery ; or Increase in SCr to ≥1.5 times baseline, or Urine volume < 0.5 ml/kg/h for 6 hours.

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

  5. MACCE (mortality; myocardial infarction; cerebrovascular accident)

    Mortality measured as any kind of death and myocardial death Myocardial Infarction measured with ECG; CK-MB, cTnT Cerebrovascular accident verified with abnormal cerebral CT scan

    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?

An observational study of Coronary Disease, run by University Hospital of Cologne at 1 site in Germany.

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 11 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 12 Jul 2017. 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 Germany. 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.

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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evolution of the inflammatory response (time frame: Change from Baseline in cytokine level direct after surgery, 6 and 24 hours after surgery; 5. postoperative day). 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 12 Jul 2017.
