Trial summary

The primary objective of this pilot study is to identify and quantify inflammatory and genetic markers from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and serum in patients with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) undergoing elective coronary revascularization (CABG) to determine the risk of developing… Read more about this study

About this study

The primary objective of this pilot study is to identify and quantify inflammatory and genetic markers from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and serum in patients with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) undergoing elective coronary revascularization (CABG) to determine the risk of developing post operative respiratory failure. To achieve this objective, this proposal outlines the following specific aims:

Aim #1. To identify from BALF and serum, the change in inflammatory and genetic markers in patients with a history of COPD undergoing CABG. BALF and serum samples will be obtained at the time of intubation immediately prior to surgery and again upon skin closure immediately after the surgical procedure.

Aim #2. To determine the extent to which inflammatory and/or genetic markers correlate with post-operative pulmonary complications defined as prolonged mechanical ventilation (> 24 hours), pneumonia, and/or tracheostomy.

Aim #3. To inform the development and implementation of a large pivotal trial which may impact clinical decision-making during the initial pre-operative outpatient assessment of COPD patients undergoing CABG.

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary outcome measure

    The identification of specific inflammatory and genetic markers associated with post-operative pulmonary complications in this population of elective CABG patients with a history of COPD.

    Measured: During Hospitalization

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Secondary outcome measure

    Post-operative pulmonary complications: prolonged mechanical ventilation (defined as >24 hours), atelectasis, pneumonia, exacerbation of COPD and tracheostomy. All-cause mortality will also be assessed.

    Measured: 30 Day Follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Emory University 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 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 19 Feb 2014. 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 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?

Primary outcome measure (time frame: During Hospitalization). 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 19 Feb 2014.
