Trial summary

Silent myocardial ischemia is known to occur in the general medical intensive care unit population immediately following tracheal extubation. We believe these patients are at risk for primary cardiac events in the 4 hours immediately following extubation. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Use of Prophylactic Beta Blockade to Prevent Peri-extubation Cardiac Ischemia and Congestive Heart Failure

Silent myocardial ischemia is known to occur in the general medical intensive care unit population immediately following tracheal extubation. We believe these patients are at risk for primary cardiac events in the 4 hours immediately following extubation. Metoprolol is a selective beta-1 antagonist, with little to no beta-2 activity at low and moderate doses. The cardioprotective effects of beta blockade have been well documented in randomized controlled trials. In patients undergoing extubation, prophylactic use of intravenous metoprolol may reduce post-extubation ischemia events as well as precursors of cardiogenic pulmonary edema (atrial and ventricular wall tension). Our primary hypothesis is that prophylactic metoprolol (titrated to reduce resting heart rate by at least 10%) prior to tracheal extubation will reduce the rate of ischemia as judged by ST segment analysis.

What participants receive

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

  • MetoprololDrug

    Metoprolol administered intravenously in 2.5mg boluses until the resting heart rate falls by 10% from baseline to a maximum dose of 10mg, or until there is any apparent adverse reaction.

What is being measured

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

  1. The rate of ischemia as judged by ST segment analysis in the 4h following extubation

    Measured: 4 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Rate-pressure product following extubation

    Measured: 30min, 2h, 4h

  2. Troponin T elevations, the incidence of cardiogenic edema, and the rate of reintubation

    Measured: 48h

  3. Pro-BNP levels

    Measured: 30min

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Metoprolol in people with Myocardial Ischemia, run by Gregory A. Schmidt at 1 site in United States.

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 10 inclusion and 10 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Feb 2017. 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 United States. 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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

The rate of ischemia as judged by ST segment analysis in the 4h following extubation (time frame: 4 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 28 Feb 2017.
