What is being measured

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

  1. Improvement in microcirculatory flow measured by sublingual microcirculation device (SDF/OPS) at day 1 following cardiac surgery with Oxiris membrane during CPB time.

    Measured: Day 1

Secondary outcomes (51)
  1. Improvement in microcirculation flow with Oxiris® membrane during CPB time at 6 hours after cardiac surgery

    Measured: at 6 hours

  2. Improvement in microcirculation flow with Oxiris® membrane during CPB time at 2 days after cardiac surgery

    Measured: at 2 days

  3. Decrease of myocardial infarction with Oxiris® membrane

    Major cardiovascular and cerebral events (MACCE) are myocardial infarction, stroke, ischemic mesenteric, cardiac arrest, sudden death, acute kidney injury, In-hospital mortality

    Measured: at day 30

  4. Decrease of stroke with Oxiris® membrane

    Major cardiovascular and cerebral events (MACCE) are myocardial infarction, stroke, ischemic mesenteric, cardiac arrest, sudden death, acute kidney injury, In-hospital mortality

    Measured: at day 30

  5. Decrease of ischemic mesenteric with Oxiris® membrane

    Major cardiovascular and cerebral events (MACCE) are myocardial infarction, stroke, ischemic mesenteric, cardiac arrest, sudden death, acute kidney injury, In-hospital mortality

    Measured: at day 30

  6. Decrease of cardiac arrest with Oxiris® membrane

    Major cardiovascular and cerebral events (MACCE) are myocardial infarction, stroke, ischemic mesenteric, cardiac arrest, sudden death, acute kidney injury, In-hospital mortality

    Measured: at day 30

  7. Decrease of sudden death with Oxiris® membrane

    Major cardiovascular and cerebral events (MACCE) are myocardial infarction, stroke, ischemic mesenteric, cardiac arrest, sudden death, acute kidney injury, In-hospital mortality

    Measured: at day 30

  8. Decrease of acute kidney injury with Oxiris® membrane

    Major cardiovascular and cerebral events (MACCE) are myocardial infarction, stroke, ischemic mesenteric, cardiac arrest, sudden death, acute kidney injury, In-hospital mortality

    Measured: at day 30

  9. Decrease of In-hospital mortality with Oxiris® membrane

    Major cardiovascular and cerebral events (MACCE) are myocardial infarction, stroke, ischemic mesenteric, cardiac arrest, sudden death, acute kidney injury, In-hospital mortality

    Measured: 30 days

  10. Decrease of cumulative catecholamine use with Oxiris® membrane in the postoperative care period time

    catecholamine are dobutamine and norepinephrine

    Measured: day 30

  11. Decrease of Requirement for renal replacement therapy events with Oxiris® membrane

    Measured: 30 days

  12. Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score with Oxiris® membrane

    The quick SOFA score (qSOFA) assists health care providers in estimating the risk of morbidity and mortality due to sepsis.

    The score ranges from 0 to 3 points. The presence of 2 or more qSOFA points near the onset of infection was associated with a greater risk of death or prolonged intensive care unit stay.

    Measured: 30 days

  13. Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) II score with Oxiris® membrane

    SAPS II was designed to measure the severity of disease for patients admitted to Intensive care units aged 18 or more.

    24 hours after admission to the ICU, the measurement has been completed and resulted in an integer point score between 0 and 163 and a predicted mortality between 0% and 100%. No new score can be calculated during the stay. If a patient is discharged from the ICU and readmitted, a new SAPS II score can be calculated.

    This scoring system is mostly used to:

    describe the morbidity of a patient when comparing the outcome with other patients.

    describe the morbidity of a group of patients when comparing the outcome with another group of patients

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Oxiris in people with Surgery and Cardiac Event, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens at 1 site in France.

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 11 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 17 Sep 2025. 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 France. 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?

Improvement in microcirculatory flow measured by sublingual microcirculation device (SDF/OPS) at day 1 following cardiac surgery with Oxiris membrane during CPB time. (time frame: Day 1). 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 NCT04201119, which also lists 2 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 17 Sep 2025.
