About this study

Official title: Cytokine Clearance With Cytoabsorbant Device During Cardiac Bypass: a Pilot Study

Investigators are planning a single center pilot randomized controlled trial to assess the potential of a Cytoadsorbant filter (Cytosorb®, Germany) to remove cytokines from the blood during cardiac surgery.

Investigators will screen all patients undergoing cardiac surgery and approach those deemed at risk of post surgical complications [≥ 1 among: age >75 years old, double valvular replacement, complex surgery with expected CPB time >100 min, redo cardiac surgery, pre-op chronic renal failure (plasma creatinine level >120 mcmol/l) or chronic heart failure (LVEF <35%)].

Patients with end-stage renal disease (dialysis dependence), undergoing an emergency procedure or an off-pump procedure, those who decline informed consent as well as those enrolled in another conflicting study will be excluded.

Eligible patients will be approached, consented and enrolled in the trial. Patients will then be randomized to either receive conventional CPB (control arm) or CPB plus Cytosorb (intervention arm). The target population is 30 patients (15 per arm).

For this pilot study, investigators main outcome will be differences between the two arms in measurement of serum levels for IL-2, IL-6, IL-10 and TNF alpha at baseline (pre-operatively), on ICU admission, as well as 6 and 24 hrs post CPB.

Secondary outcomes will be changes in coagulation factors serum levels, the need for vasopressors, inotropes, mechanical ventilation and renal replacement therapy, ICU and hospital length of stay as well as in-hospital mortality.

Recruitment period should span from May 2016 to April 2017.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Cytosorb in people with Myocardial Ischemia and Heart Valve Diseases, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 6 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 25 Jan 2018. 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 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

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?

Change in Cytokine levels (time frame: From Baseline (Preoeratively) to 6hrs post CPB). 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 NCT02775123, 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 25 Jan 2018.
