Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Male and female patients >18 years undergoing major vascular surgery will be invited to participate. Specifically, patients undergoing abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, suprainguinal and infrainguinal vascular surgery, as well as carotid surgery will be included. After the first 30 patients, the population is to be expanded to elevated-risk surgeries in general.

Who may be able to join

  • Adults >18 years
  • Type of surgery for patients 1 to 30: abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, suprainguinal and infrainguinal vascular surgery, carotid surgery
  • Type of surgery for patients 31 to 500: surgeries with elevated risks in general (as specified by 2014 ESC/ESA Guidelines on non-cardiac surgery:
  • cardiovascular assessment and management [Kristensen])

Who cannot join

  • acute coronary Syndrome (ACS) at presentation (clinical assessment or documentation)
  • Congestive heart failure at presentation (clinical assessment or documentation)
  • Documented severe aortic stenosis (valve area <1cm2)
  • Kidney dysfunction (clearance <50ml/min)
  • Reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (<40%); if no LVEF is available, it will be assumed to be >40%
  • Cancelled surgery
  • Unwilling or unable to provide consent
  • Inability to follow the procedures of the study, e.g. due to language problems, psychological disorders, dementia, etc. of the participant

What is being measured

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

  1. perioperative copeptin concentrations

    copeptin concentrations for the perioperative time course as measured by the ThermoFisher assay at induction, at 0h, 2h, 4h, 6h, 8h, as well as on the postoperative day 1 and 3.

    Measured: perioperative from induction of anesthesia to the third postoperative day

  2. composite events composed of all-cause mortality and/or major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE)

    MACCE defined as:non-fatal cardiac arrest, acute coronary syndrome (including MINS), congestive heart failure requiring hospitalization or transfer to a higher unit of care, and stroke

    Measured: 12 months

  3. myocardial injury in non-cardiac surgery (MINS)

    Measured: 3 postoperative days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. all-cause mortality

    Measured: 12 months

  2. composite events composed of all-cause mortality and/or major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE)

    MACCE: non-fatal cardiac arrest, acute coronary syndrome (including MINS), congestive heart failure requiring hospitalization or transfer to a higher unit of care, and stroke

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Perioperative Myocardial Injury, run by University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland at 2 sites in 2 countries.

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 8 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 24 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Germany, Switzerland. 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?

perioperative copeptin concentrations (time frame: perioperative from induction of anesthesia to the third postoperative day). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02687776, which also lists 2 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 24 Apr 2024.
