About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Association Between Heart Type Fatty-acid Binding Proteins and High Sensitive Troponin and Postoperative Myocardial Infarction in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery.

Myocardial infarction and subsequent myocardial injury after cardiac surgery occurs in 7-15% of patients undergoing cardiac surgery and is associated with an increased length of stay, and reduced short- and long-term survival. Cardiac troponin is considered to be a cornerstone in the diagnosis of a myocardial infarction. Heart-type Fatty Acid-Binding Protein (H-FABP) is a new sensitive biomarker for myocardial injury. The effectiveness of using the combination of H-FABP with Troponin to diagnose myocardial injury within 6 hours after the onset of ischemia is well reported. Previous studies in non-surgical patients have associated increased H-FABP with an increased risk of subsequent death and major cardiac events. The prognostic value in cardiac surgery patients has not been studied extensively.

The objective is to estimate the association between biomarkers of myocardial injury and myocardial infarction in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Myocardial infarction will be established with both a new and very early marker of myocardial injury (Heart-type Fatty Acid Binding Proteins) as well as to a known early marker of such injury (Cardiac troponin).

Read the detailed description

Specific aims:

  1. To obtain an estimate of the association between a new very early marker of postoperative myocardial injury H-FABP and postoperative myocardial infarction.
  2. To obtain an estimate of the association between cTn-I and postoperative myocardial infarction.
  3. To obtain an estimate of the correlation between H-FABP elevation and cTn-I elevation in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Postoperative myocardial infarction

    The occurence of postoperative myocardial infarction is imported from the Board Heart interventions Netherlands registry (BHN registry). For every patient undergoing cardiac surgery in the UMCU the cardiothoracic department determines whether the patient had a postoperative myocardial infarction or not and fills out the related information in the BHN registry.

    Measured: 30 days after cardiac surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Mortality

    Measured: 30-days and 1-year after cardiac surgery

  2. Hospital length of stay

    Measured: 1 year after cardiac surgery

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted6 Oct 2015 (estimated)
  2. Study startNov 2015
  3. Primary completionNov 2015

Why it stopped: Due to lack of funding

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Myocardial Infarction, run by UMC Utrecht.

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 4 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Nov 2015. 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. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Postoperative myocardial infarction (time frame: 30 days after cardiac surgery). 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 NCT02569177, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 25 Nov 2015.
