Trial summary

DAMPs (damage associated molecular patterns) are endogenous molecules that are expressed by cell stress or cell damage and play an important role in tissue (or host) defense and repair by activating the innate immune system. This is not the case with infections or injuries. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Prediction of Postoperative Pulmonary Complications Using Damage-associated Molecular Patterns in Adult Cardiac Surgery

DAMPs (damage associated molecular patterns) are endogenous molecules that are expressed by cell stress or cell damage and play an important role in tissue (or host) defense and repair by activating the innate immune system. This is not the case with infections or injuries. Briefly, it starts when the immune system is activated by a receptor that recognizes a damage pattern, and it is a generic term for continuous responses by endogenous molecules expressed in this process. Recently, immuno-cancer drugs for cancer treatment by applying this immune response are also emerging. In cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), there are more deleterious effects and adverse effects caused by using CPB than the surgery itself. There are several studies that have revealed the association between DAMPs and the degree of complications by approaching them from the point of view of tissue damage caused by the use of CPB. Therefore, we intend to investigate the changes in DMAPs over time during, and after cardiac surgery and the differences in DAMPs according to the presence or absence of postoperative pulmonary complications.

Read the detailed description

DAMPs (damage-associated molecular patterns) are endogenous molecules expressed as a result of cell stress or damage. They play a crucial role in tissue or host defense and repair by activating the innate immune system. This differs from cases of infections or injuries. In a nutshell, the process begins when the immune system is triggered by a receptor that recognizes a damage pattern. DAMPs is a broad term encompassing continuous responses by endogenous molecules expressed during this process. More recently, there has been a growing focus on using this immune response for cancer treatment through immuno-cancer drugs. In cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), various types of damage occur, including intravascular cannulation, exposure to the surface of the bypass circuit, ischemia-reperfusion injury, and surgical injury (operative trauma). During this process, the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and DAMPs (damage-associated molecular patterns) takes place. This leads to a response similar to sterile systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). As a result of this process, patients become more vulnerable to post-surgery infections or remote organ failure due to immune suppression.

Several studies have explored the link between DAMPs and the extent of complications by assessing tissue damage resulting from CPB usage. However, there is no study on the relationship between the occurrence of pulmonary complications and DAMPs in cardiac surgery, and therefore the authors aimed to determine changes in DMAPs over time during, and after cardiac surgery and the differences in DAMPs according to the presence or absence of postoperative pulmonary complications.

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

    There was no intervention because this reasearch is observational study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Concentration of heparan sulfate (HS)

    blood sampling before CPB application, 90 minutes after CPB application, after CPB weaning, the day after surgery

    Measured: the day after surgery, up to 48hours

  2. Concentration of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1)

    blood sampling before CPB application, 90 minutes after CPB application, after CPB weaning, the day after surgery

    Measured: the day after surgery, up to 48hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Postoperative complication

    By evaluating clinical recovery through the presence or absence of postoperative complications, the relationship between the concentration of DAMPs and the patient's clinical prognosis is investigated.

    Measured: during admission, up to 22 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiopulmonary Bypass and Cardiac Surgery, run by Pusan National University Yangsan Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 2 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 Oct 2023. 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 South Korea. 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?

Concentration of heparan sulfate (HS) (time frame: the day after surgery, up to 48hours). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 17 Oct 2023.
