About this study

Official title: The Effect of Adenosine on Myocardial Protection in Intermittent Warm Blood Cardioplegia: A Randomized Placebo-controlled Trial

Myocardial protection is a major issue in cardiac surgery, since inadequate protection increases the risk of postoperative cardiac dysfunction. The main principle of myocardial protection in cardiac surgery is to preserve myocardial function by preventing ischemia with blood cardioplegia . Previous studies have shown that adenosine as an adjunct to blood cardioplegia can be safely used in cardiac surgery. In the Amphia Hospital, adenosine is already used as standard care as an initial cardioplegic bolus in minimally invasive port access operations. Whether, adenosine as an adjunct to intermittent warm blood cardioplegia, has an added value remains unclear. Therefore the investigators would like to investigate the effect of the addition of adenosine to standard intermittent warm blood cardioplegia in patients scheduled for minimally invasive, port access operations (mitral valve surgery).

Half of the participants will receive standard intermittent warm blood cardioplegia, while the other half will receive intermittent warm blood cardioplegia enriched with adenosine.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Adenosine in people with Pathological Processes and Cardiomyopathies, run by Amphia Hospital at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 3 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 20 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 Netherlands. 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.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jeffrey Engelhart, PharmD (0031765954391, JEngelhart@amphia.nl), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

6-hour cardiac Troponin T (cTnT) release (time frame: 6 hours post-operative). 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 NCT02681913, which also lists 8 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 20 Apr 2017.
