About this study
Official title: MET: REevaluation for Perioperative cArdIac Risk (MET-REPAIR): a Prospective, Multi-centre Cohort Observational Study- Presepsin (sCD14-ST) for Perioperative Risk Prediction Nested Cohort Study
Multicentre international prospective cohort study designed to evaluate whether preoperative presepsin (sCD14-ST) is associated with the composite endpoint: all-cause mortality and major adverse cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events (MACCE) after elevated risk non-cardiac surgery. If so:
- What is the optimal cut-off for presepsin to predict the composite endpoint all-cause mortality and MACCE?
- Does the calculated optimal cut-off improve prediction of the composite endpoint all-cause mortality and MACCE when added to clinical data and established biomarkers?
Read the detailed description
Major non-cardiac surgery is still associated with relevant cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. In Europe, in-hospital mortality exceeded 7% in patients with coronary artery disease and in those with congestive heart failure. Within 30 days of non-cardiac surgery procedures, 8% of patients will suffer a major cardiovascular event.
Immunological processes, increased recruitment and infiltration of innate and adaptive immune cells into atherosclerotic lesions, have been shown to drive perioperative atherosclerotic lesion progression and plaque destabilization and are thought to promote plaque rupture. When classical monocytes are activated to inflammatory non-classical monocytes, the membrane-bound cell surface protein CD14 is released into circulation. In plasma, soluble CD14 (sCD14) is cleaved by lysosomal proteases. The N-terminal 13kDa fragment constitutes sCD14 subtype (sCD14-ST), also called presepsin. Presepsin has been established as a marker for early identification of patients with systemic infections. Recently, presepsin has been proposed as a biomarker for preoperative risk prediction in cardiac surgery. Our preliminary results in a limited number of patients suggest that presepsin is associated with major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events after non-cardiac surgery as well with all-cause mortality. Presepsin might have a test characteristic superior to conventional risk assessment on the basis of the revised cardiac risk index (RCRI), high-sensitivity cardiac Troponin-T (hs-cTnT) and N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP).
Preoperative presepsin quantification might help to identify non-cardiac surgery patients prone to experience perioperative major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Non Cardiac Surgery, run by University Hospital Heidelberg at 1 site in Germany.
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 0 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 25 Sep 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 Germany. 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?
Contact Jan Larmann, MD/PhD (+49 6221 56 ext. 39447, jan.larmann@med.uni-heidelberg.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Composite of intra- and postoperative in hospital all-cause mortality, non-fatal cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure requiring transfer to a higher unit of care or prolonging stay on ICU/intermediate care ≥24h and stroke (time frame: at discharge or at day 30 after surgery (whatever comes first)). 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 NCT03489486, which also lists 6 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 25 Sep 2018.
