What participants receive

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

  • Blood pressure cuff inflationProcedure or surgery

    Cuff pressure for ischemia sham is 20 mm Hg, ischemia is 200 mm Hg and reperfusion is 0 mm Hg

Study groups in NCT03305094
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Control groupActive comparatorSham remote ischemic preconditioning on the right arm is induced with a blood pressure cuff inflation at 20 mm Hg for 5 min and followed by a 5 min reperfusion at 0 mm Hg. The sham ischemia-reperfusion cycle is performed 3 times for a total of 30 min. This procedure is done after anesthetic induction, but before the patient is placed on cardiopulmonary bypass. A 20 mm Hg blood pressure cuff on the right arm does not induce ischemia.
Receives: Procedure: Blood pressure cuff inflation

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in biochemical markers of myocardial ischemia

    Troponin T-HS and CK-MB concentration

    Measured: 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours post-operatively

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Post-operative complications

    Monitoring the safety of the strategy by monitoring post-operative complications

    Measured: post-operatively until 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Blood pressure cuff inflation in people with Aortic Valve Stenosis and Cardiopulmonary Bypass, run by Laval University at 1 site in Canada.

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 13 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 10 Mar 2023. 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 Canada. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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 biochemical markers of myocardial ischemia (time frame: 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours post-operatively). 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 10 Mar 2023.
