About this study

Official title: ON Pump vs OFF Pump Myocardial Revascularization in High Risk Patients: a Randomized Study

Compare completeness and modality of revascularization, operative and postoperative results and 1 year clinical outcomes in unselected high risk patients referred for primary coronary artery bypass surgery. Patients will be randomized to undergo off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (OPCAB) or coronary artery bypass graft with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB/CAB).

Read the detailed description

The initial application of off-pump coronary artery bypass in the early nineties was mainly directed to highly selected and relatively low risk surgical patients. Since then there has been a growing body of evidence suggesting many potential advantages of the OPCAB technique over the conventional cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) technique in different groups of high-risk patients.

On-off study is a multicentre, prospective, randomized, parallel, trial.Patients indicated for elective or urgent isolated coronary artery bypass graft with additive European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation ≥ 6 were enrolled. Patients in cardiogenic shock were excluded. Patients were randomly assigned either to coronary artery bypass surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (ON arm) or to off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (OFF arm). The composite primary end point included operative mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke, renal failure, re-operation for bleeding and adult respiratory distress syndrome, within 30 days after surgery. The total planned sample size was 693 patients; the actual number of enrolled patients was 411,according to the results of the interim analysis scheduled at 400 enrollments (alfa-spending=0.029, Pocock method).

What participants receive

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

  • Off-pump bypass surgeryProcedure or surgery

    is a method of performing a coronary bypass operation for the purpose of treating advanced coronary heart disease while the heart is still beating normally.

  • On-pump bypass surgeryProcedure or surgery

    is a technique that temporarily takes over the function of the heart and lungs during surgery, maintaining the circulation of blood and the oxygen content of the body.

A Phase 4 study testing Off-pump bypass surgery and On-pump bypass surgery in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Medtronic Italia at 8 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 4 inclusion and 4 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 21 Nov 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Italy, 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Nov 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Patients With Post-operative Combined Endpoint (i.e. With One or More of the Following) (time frame: 30 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01290952, which also lists 19 linked publications.

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 21 Nov 2016.
