About this study

To show the existence of a atrial cardiomyocytes membranes modification in omega-3 supplemented patients with coronary atherosclerosis.

Read the detailed description

Very few human data are currently available on the fatty acid composition of cardiomyocytes membranes. Preoperative omega-3 supplementation for patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass is correlated with a decreased frequency of postoperative complications in type of arrhythmia atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation is the most common complication: 30 to 50% after myocardial revascularization. The occurrence of atrial fibrillation increases morbidity and mortality after surgery for sure. The pathophysiological mechanisms of common atrial fibrillation treated in heart rhythm units are different from those of postoperative atrial fibrillation. Indeed, atrial fibrillation is a common disease primarily of the left atrium, although atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery is a multifactorial disease with implication of various pathogens such as inflammation without precise anatomical support. The preventive use of polyunsaturated fatty acids omega-3 long-chain (LC-AGPIω3), prior cardiac surgery is far from widespread due to a Lack of information dissemination, by insufficient number of published studies, despite the existence of a number of ongoing clinical trials and a complete ignorance of biological mechanisms of action. A human clinical study is needed. In a context of cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass and without deleterious side effects of preoperative enrichment in omega-3, it seems appropriate to conduct a feasibility study to provide information on structural changes in membranes of cardiomyocytes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Omega 3 in people with Coronary Atherosclerosis, run by University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand at 1 site in France.

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 6 inclusion and 0 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 3 Oct 2012. 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 France. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

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 Patrick LACARIN (04 73 75 11 95, placarin@chu-clermontferrand.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

fatty acid variations (time frame: at J-21). 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 3 Oct 2012.
