Trial summary

The aim of CyTation is to demonstrate intra-operative removal of ticagrelor by CytoSorb® hemadsorption in patients on ticagrelor undergoing emergent cardiothoracic surgery requiring CPB, using platelet reactivity to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) as a pharmacodynamics surrogate measure of ticagrelor levels in blood.

About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Open, Multi-center, Single-arm Study to Demonstrate the Feasibility of the CytoSorb® 300 mL Device to Remove Ticagrelor During Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Patients on Ticagrelor Undergoing Emergent Cardiothoracic Surgery

What participants receive

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

  • Blood sampling and analysisProcedure or surgery

What is being measured

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

  1. Platelet reactivity

    Proportion of patients with post-operative platelet reactivity to ADP above the level associated with increased bleeding risk (≥ 22 ADP-induced platelet aggregation units (AUC in units)) measured on the MEA platform immediately after CPB compared to immediately before CPB.

    Measured: 8 hours

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Blood sampling and analysis in people with Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by CytoSorbents Europe GmbH at 4 sites in 2 countries.

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 12 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Feb 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Germany, Luxembourg. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Due to Corona pandemic, planned ammount of enrolled patient could not be reached, protocol section "Early termination of the study" - criterion "Difficulties in recruiting patients" is fully met-\>recruitment period will not be extended). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Platelet reactivity (time frame: 8 hours). 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 4 Feb 2022.
