Trial summary

Myocardial protection has become an essential adjunctive measure in cardiac surgery to bail the myocardium out of ischemia/reperfusion-induced damage during the operation. Experimental studies have shown that lipid emulsion infusion just before reperfusion (i.e., intralipid postconditioning (ILPC)) could reduce… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effects of Lipid Emulsion on Myocardial Protection and Inflammatory Response in Cardiac Valve Replacement Surgery

Myocardial protection has become an essential adjunctive measure in cardiac surgery to bail the myocardium out of ischemia/reperfusion-induced damage during the operation.

Experimental studies have shown that lipid emulsion infusion just before reperfusion (i.e., intralipid postconditioning (ILPC)) could reduce myocardial infarct sizes, improve cardiac function, and reduce myocardial I/R injuries, despite the interesting experimental findings, the potential clinical usage of lipid emulsion in preventing myocardial I/R injury needs to be further investigated.

Read the detailed description

The study of myocardial protection has improved aiming to prevent intraoperative myocardial injury, which can lead to ventricular dysfunction, arrhythmias, low cardiac output and other complications, often irreversible ones.

Nowadays there are numerous methods of myocardial protection during cardiac surgery, But still there is no best myocardial protection technique.

Despite improved myocardial protection strategies, cardioplegic arrest and ischemia still result in ischemic reperfusion injury during cardiac surgery.

Many drugs have proved a pharmacological postconditioning effect on the heart at the onset of reflow and had been shown to limit infarction size and decrease the ischemic/reperfusion injury ,Postconditioning (POC) has been reported to promote left ventricular functional recovery after global ischemia with cardioplegic arrest on cardiopulmonary bypass in a large animal model Smoflipid is a sterile safe lipid emulsion comprised of soybean oil (30%), medium chain triglycerides (30%) olive oil (25%) \& fish oil (15%) that has been associated with decreased oxidative injury, improved liver function and increased antioxidant activity.

What participants receive

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

  • SMOFlipidDrug

    Also called smoflipid 20% lipid emulsion

    will receive intravenous infusion of 2ml\kg of smoflipid 20%, in the internal jugular vein 10 minutes before removal of aortic cross clamp in a constant speed

  • Normal saline 0.9%Other

    will receive intravenous infusion of 2ml\kg of normal saline 0.9%, in the internal jugular vein 10 minutes before removal of aortic cross clamp in a constant speed.

What is being measured

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

  1. myocardium protection

    assessment of lipid emulsion effect on post cardiopulmonary bypass ischemic reperfusion injury through measuring ( cardiac troponin (CTnI) in ng/ml )

    Measured: 72 hours

  2. inflammatory response

    assessment of the inflammatory response to lipid emulsion infusion through measuring ( Interleukein-6 (IL-6) in ng/l ).

    Measured: 72 hours

  3. myocardium protection

    assessment of lipid emulsion effect on post cardiopulmonary bypass ischemic reperfusion injury through (cardiac specific creatine kinase (CK-MB) in units/l )

    Measured: 72 hours

  4. inflammatory response

    assessment of the inflammatory response to lipid emulsion infusion through measuring ( C Reactive protein (CRP) in mg/l )

    Measured: 72 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing SMOFlipid and Normal saline 0.9% in people with Ischemic Reperfusion Injury, run by Assiut University.

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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jul 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact sara abdallah (01009556520, sara92abdallah@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

myocardium protection (time frame: 72 hours). The study lists 4 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 7 Jul 2021.
