Trial summary

Age is no longer an absolute contraindication to cardiac surgery therefore there is often need for combined interventions (double valve repair/replacement, or coronary artery bypass graft and valve repair/replacement) with relative prolongation of cardiopulmonary bypass time.

About this study

Official title: Randomized Comparison Between Oxygenator Systems for the Reduction of Post-operative Delirium in Older Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery

Age is no longer an absolute contraindication to cardiac surgery therefore there is often need for combined interventions (double valve repair/replacement, or coronary artery bypass graft and valve repair/replacement) with relative prolongation of cardiopulmonary bypass time. Prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass use causes an increase in the inflammatory response, and on the other a need for blood reinfusion and therefore lipid microemboli from the operative field. The clinical consequences for patients are post-operative delirium and post-operative cognitive impairment.

These two neurological complications involve up to 45% of elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery and have a significant impact on quality of life, hospitalization and mortality in the short and long term. The Remowell 2 oxygenator system has demonstrated in preliminary studies that, compared to the gold standard Inspire oxygenator, it can guarantee a significant reduction of hemodilution, inflammatory systemic response and embolization of lipid microemboli and leukocytes. In light of these considerations, it is possible to formulate the hypothesis that the use of the Remowell 2 device can contribute to significantly reducing the onset of post-operative delirium and cognitive impairment. The present study is designed to validate this hypothesis in a randomized controlled scenario.

Being tested
Eurosets REMOWELL 2 oxygenator, LivaNova INSPIRE oxygenator

What participants receive

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

  • Eurosets REMOWELL 2 oxygenatorDevice

    The main characteristic of REMOWELL 2 oxygenator is the presence of a filtration system for extracavitary inlet. Multilayer cascade filtration and supernatant separator leads to lipid-leukocytes depletion

  • LivaNova INSPIRE oxygenatorDevice

    INSPIRE oxygenator has no filtration system for extracavitary inlet

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Eurosets REMOWELL 2 oxygenator and LivaNova INSPIRE oxygenator in people with Cardiac Surgery and Cardiopulmonary Bypass, run by Maria Cecilia Hospital at 1 site in Italy.

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 5 inclusion and 9 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 20 Feb 2024. 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 Italy. 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?

post-operative delirium (time frame: 6 days). 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 20 Feb 2024.
