About this study

Official title: Predictive Value of suPAR and hsCRP on Postoperative Mortality in 951 Patients Undergoing Elective On-pump Cardiac Surgery

This study aims to investigate whether preoperative soluble urokinase plasminogen activating receptor (suPAR) and High-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP) are independent markers of death after cardiac surgery. Further, to assess whether suPAR and hsCRP provides increased predictive accuracy of the clinical risk model EuroSCORE II. The purpose of the study is to gain knowledge on whether these inflammatory biomarkers might be able to reveal a pro-inflammatory disease state that represents a significant risk in patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery. Hence, these biomarkers may assist clinicians in selecting compassionate treatment for high risk patients.

Being tested
Blood sampling

What participants receive

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

  • Blood samplingOther

    Analysis will be performed using commercially available analyses (suPARnostic® kit (validated to measure suPAR concentrations between 0.6 and 22 ng/mL) (ViroGates)). HsCRP will be measured by high sensitivity CRP assays (Tina-quant hs-CRP latex assay (validated to measure CRP concentrations between 0.3 - 20 mg/L) (Roche/Hitachi)). In patients with CRP>20 mg/L a regular CRP-measurement will be performed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Association of preoperative suPAR values in relation to the censored time-to-event outcome "death from any cause"

    Measured: from index surgery to censoring date 12.31.2018

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Association of preoperative hsCRP values in relation to the censored time-to-event outcome "death from any cause"

    Measured: from index surgery to censoring date 12.31.2018

  2. Assess whether adding suPAR, hsCRP or combined suPAR+hsCRP measurements improves predictive accuracy of EuroSCORE II

    Measured: from index surgery to 30 days postoperative

  3. Sensitivity of the models; EuroSCORE II, suPAR, hsCRP, suPAR+hsCRP, EuroSCOREII+suPAR, EuroSCOREII+hsCRP and EuroSCOREII+suPAR+hsCRP in relation to the time-to-event outcome "death from any cause"

    Measured: from index surgery to 30 days postoperative

  4. Specificity of the models; EuroSCORE II, suPAR, hsCRP, suPAR+hsCRP, EuroSCOREII+suPAR, EuroSCOREII+hsCRP and EuroSCOREII+suPAR+hsCRP in relation to the time-to-event outcome "death from any cause"

    Measured: from index surgery to 30 days postoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Thoracic Surgery and Cardiac Surgical Procedures, run by Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet at 1 site in Denmark.

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 4 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 3 Mar 2020. 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 Denmark. 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?

Association of preoperative suPAR values in relation to the censored time-to-event outcome "death from any cause" (time frame: from index surgery to censoring date 12.31.2018). 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 3 Mar 2020.
