Trial summary

Endothelial glycocalyx, the luminal structure of healthy vasculature, plays critical roles in regulation of inflammatory responses, vascular permeability, blood coagulation. It can be easily damaged by ischemia/reperfusion, hypoxemia, oxidative stress, endotoxin. Read more about this study

About this study

Endothelial glycocalyx, the luminal structure of healthy vasculature, plays critical roles in regulation of inflammatory responses, vascular permeability, blood coagulation. It can be easily damaged by ischemia/reperfusion, hypoxemia, oxidative stress, endotoxin. Accordingly, the relationship between the shedding of endothelial glycocalyx and the prognosis of diseases such as diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, malignancy has been researched.

In cases of cardiac surgery, patients cannot help but be exposed to ischemia/reperfusion, oxidative stress which can damage endothelial glycocalyx. In this research, the investigators would like to discover the impact of perioperative shedding of the endothelial glycocalyx on the incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury in patients undergoing valvular heart surgery.

Read the detailed description

Syndecan-1, Heparan sulfate serve as biomarkers of glycocalyx degradation. Both biomarkers will be measured 2 times, before the anesthetic induction, and immediately after weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass, during the valvular heart surgery.

Postoperative acute kidney injury up to postoperative 48 hours, Composite morbidity and mortality up to postoperative 30 days will be checked.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT03197051
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Q1Measure the Concentration of Syndecan-1, Heparan sulfate before anesthetic induction and immediately after weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass. Categorize the patients by serum syndecan-1 concentration(off-CPB) quartile. Q1 means a group of lowest 25% of serum syndecan-1 concentration.
Q2Q2 means a group of lower 25~50% of serum syndecan-1 concentration.
Q3Q3 means a group of higher 50~75% of serum syndecan-1 concentration.
Q4Q4 means a group of highest 75~100% of serum syndecan-1 concentration.

What is being measured

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

  1. Acute kidney injury

    Acute kidney injury is classified under KDIGO guideline.

    Stage I

    • Serum creatinine (Scr) : 1.5 to 1.9 times baseline or ≥26μmol/L (≥3.0mg/dL) increase
    • Urine output : <0.5mL/kg/kr for 6~12hrs

    Stage II

    • Serum creatinine (Scr) : 2.0 to 2.9 times baseline
    • Urine output : <0.5mL/kg/hr for ≥12hrs

    Stage III

    • Serum creatinine (Scr) : 3.0 times baseline or ≥354μmol/L (≥4.0mg/dL) increase or Initiation for RRT
    • Urine output : <0.3mL/kg/hr for ≥24hrs or Anuria for ≥12hrs

    Measured: Up to Postoperative 48 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Composite morbidity and mortality (by STS Major morbidity endpoint)

    STS Major morbidity endpoint

    • Mortality for postoperative 30 days irrelevant to causes
    • Permanent stroke
    • Wound infection
    • Prolonged ventilation greater than 48 hours
    • Cardiac surgery reoperation

    Measured: Up to postoperative 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Valvular Heart Disease, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 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 11 Jan 2019. 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 South Korea. 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?

Acute kidney injury (time frame: Up to Postoperative 48 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 11 Jan 2019.
