About this study

Official title: Effect of High Inspiratory Oxygen Fraction on Endothelial Function in Healthy Volunteers: a Randomized Controlled Cross-over Trial

The frequency of preoperative cardiac ischemia and the 30-days postoperative mortality is much higher than previously assumed, with approximately 10 % of patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery suffering from postoperative myocardial injury. A recent danish study furthermore showed that patients treated with a high inspiratory oxygen fraction during surgery had a higher 1 year mortality compared with patients treated with a low inspiratory fraction. This was especially significant among patients undergoing cancer surgery. A possible explanation, is that a high oxygen fraction results in oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction.

With this randomized cross-over study we wish to investigate the effect of a high inspiratory oxygen fraction on the endothelial function among healthy male volunteers. The primary outcome is the endothelial function assessed by the EndoPat system. Secondary outcomes are changes in oxidative biomarkers. Heart rate variability (HRV) recordings will serve as a measure for the effect of oxygen on the autonomic nervous system.

What is being measured

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

  1. Endothelial dysfunction assessed by the EndoPat-system

    Changes in baseline pulse-wave-amplitude (PWA) after ischemia-reperfusion from the baseline PWA measurement until 5 minutes after ischemia as a measure of altered endothelial cell function caused by high inspiratory oxygen fractions

    Measured: After 2 hours of preoxygenation

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Heart rate variability (HRV) after ischemia-reperfusion as a measure of altered balance in the Autonomic nervous system

    Measured: Baseline measure conducted from baseline until 20 minutes of pre oxygenation. Secondary measures is conducted 20 minutes before withdrawal of the oxygen

  2. Plasma-Malondialdehyde (MDA)

    Measured: Meaured at baseline, after 2 hours of oxygenation and after 30, 60, 120, 240 minutes after the EndoPat measure

  3. Plasma-Arginine/Asymmetric dimethylarginine(ADMA)

    Measured: Meaured at baseline, after 2 hours of oxygenation and after 30, 60, 120, 240 minutes after the EndoPat measure

  4. Plasma-Tetrahydrobiopterin

    Measured: Meaured at baseline, after 2 hours of oxygenation and after 30, 60, 120, 240 minutes after the EndoPat measure

  5. Plasma-Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP)

    Measured: Meaured at baseline, after 2 hours of oxygenation and after 30, 60, 120, 240 minutes after the EndoPat measure

  6. Plasma-Ascorbate/Dehydroascorbate (AA/DHA)

    Measured: Meaured at baseline, after 2 hours of oxygenation and after 30, 60, 120, 240 minutes after the EndoPat measure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 80% oxygen and 30% oxygen in people with Endothelial Dysfunction, run by Zealand University Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.

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 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 27 May 2015. 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 Denmark. 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. 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.

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?

Endothelial dysfunction assessed by the EndoPat-system (time frame: After 2 hours of preoxygenation). 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 NCT02342405, 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 27 May 2015.
