Trial summary

Cardiopulmonary surgery is associated with inflammatory responses that can lead to systemic inflammatory responses (SIRS), organ dysfunction (MOD) and death especially in patients with endocarditis. Cytokine removal might therefore improve outcomes of patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Cytosorb Therapy in Cardiac Surgery - a Retrospective Study of Hemoadsorption in Patients With Endocarditis

Cardiopulmonary surgery is associated with inflammatory responses that can lead to systemic inflammatory responses (SIRS), organ dysfunction (MOD) and death especially in patients with endocarditis. Cytokine removal might therefore improve outcomes of patients undergoing cardiac surgery. CytoSorb is a device designed to remove cytokine (IL-6, IL-10, TNFalpha) from the blood to reduce immune reactions. This trial investigates the use of CytoSorb during cardiac surgery in patients with endocarditis at the University Hospital Basel.

What participants receive

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

  • CytoSorb haemoadsorption (HA) deviceDevice

    CytoSorb® cartridges contain biocompatible sorbent polystyrene divinylbenzene beads coated with polyvinylpyrrolidone, capable of removing inflammatory molecules (eg Interleukin). The cartridge is inserted in a cardio-pulmonary bypass circuit to remove inflammatory molecules during cardiac surgery .

What is being measured

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

  1. In-Hospital mortality

    In-Hospital mortality (number of deaths) of patients with endocarditis undergoing cardiac surgery and intra-operative CytoSorb haemoadsorption

    Measured: during hospital stay for cardiac surgery from admission until discharge (approximately 15 days)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. time in intensive care unit (days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiopulmonary Surgery and Endocarditis, run by University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 16 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 Switzerland. 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?

In-Hospital mortality (time frame: during hospital stay for cardiac surgery from admission until discharge (approximately 15 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 16 Mar 2020.
