About this study

Official title: A Randomized Controlled Study Comparing the Prophylactic Effect of histamine1 and Histamine 2 Receptor Blocker in Prevention Systolic Hypotension After Protamine Administration in Cardiac Patient Having Cardiopulmonary Bypass

Protamine remains the anticoagulant of choice for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The process of protamine neutralization of heparin came with the side effects sometimes; it can be life threatening or fetal reaction. The adverse cardiopulmonary response of protamine has been observed during entire history of clinical cardiac surgery. The true mechanism reaction is difficult to defined and the complexity of the clinical situation The classification of protamine reaction has been divided in to main 3 types (transient systemic hypotension secondary to rapid administration, anaphylactic and anaphylactoid reaction and catastrophic pulmonary vasoconstriction.

The reaction from pharmacologic histamine release is the most common type of reaction. Protamine was believed to induce hypotension by this mechanism, and it was demonstrated to release histamine by degranulation of isolated mast cells From the hypothesis that the systemic hypotension cause by the released of histamine. The investigators will measure the serum tryptase which is the enzyme that released from degranulation of human mast cell. Comparing the serum tryptase level of the patient at baseline, 30 min and 60 min after protamine was given.

There for the hypothesis of this study is administrating of H1 and H2 blocker helps attenuate the drop in MAP after protamine is given.

What participants receive

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

  • Chlorpheniramine and ranitidineDrug

    Patient will receive intravenous chlorpheniramine and ranitidine prior to protamine.

  • 0.9% Normal SalineDrug

    Patient will receive normal saline as placebo.

What is being measured

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

  1. Blood pressure

    Systolic and diastolic blood pressure will be recorded every minutes since the start of protamine infusion (in 7 minutes) til 30 minutes after infusion.

    Measured: 37 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Serum tryptase

    Serum tryptase will be measured before the administration of protamine and at 30 minutes and 60 minutes after protamine

    Measured: 60 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Chlorpheniramine and ranitidine and 0.9% Normal Saline in people with Protamine Adverse Reaction, run by Mahidol University at 1 site in Thailand.

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 3 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 1 Sep 2021. 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 Thailand. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Blood pressure (time frame: 37 minutes). 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 NCT03583567, 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 1 Sep 2021.
