Trial summary

This project will evaluate fluid balance and edema formation in children with congenital heart disease in need of a surgical procedure, The Fontan procedure. Surgery will make the child end up with a univentricular heart with one-chamber circulation ( Fontan circulation). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Interstitial Colloid Osmotic Pressure in Children With Congenital Heart Defect Preparing for Fontan Surgery Undergoing Preoperative Catheterization and Surgery in General Anesthesia

This project will evaluate fluid balance and edema formation in children with congenital heart disease in need of a surgical procedure, The Fontan procedure. Surgery will make the child end up with a univentricular heart with one-chamber circulation ( Fontan circulation). This project will evaluate if these children has increased micro vascular leakage before surgery due to their congenital heart defect. The project will also investigate if the edema formation seen during cardiac surgery with the use of Cardio-Pulmonary Bypass (CPB) and hypothermia is caused by capillary leakage of plasma protein.

The study hypothesis are

  1. Edema developed during heart surgery is caused by reduced colloid osmotic pressure gradient through the capillary membrane.
  2. The degree of micro vascular leakage in open-heart surgery is related to duration of CPB and hypothermia.
  3. Fontan circulation cause peripheral edema related to elevated central venous pressure and is not caused by increased micro vascular leakage of plasma proteins.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Defects, Congenital and Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, run by Oslo University Hospital at 1 site in Norway.

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 0 inclusion and 1 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 11 Apr 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 Norway. 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?

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?

Interstitial colloid osmotic pressure (time frame: Before and after surgery or catheterization). 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 NCT02306057, 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 11 Apr 2017.
