Trial summary

Open surgery for aneurysmal aortic disease can lead to cardiac, renal, pulmonary or muscular complications, essentially due to the aortic clamping. Ischemic preconditioning can be useful in order to decrease these complications. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Protective Effects of Ischemic Preconditioning on Cardiac, Renal, Pulmonary and Muscular Functions After Aortic Clamping

Open surgery for aneurysmal aortic disease can lead to cardiac, renal, pulmonary or muscular complications, essentially due to the aortic clamping. Ischemic preconditioning can be useful in order to decrease these complications. The investigators would like to use an ischemic preconditioning protocol during open surgery of aortic aneurysm in order to decrease these complications.

Being tested
Ischemic preconditioning during aortic clamping, Procedure/Surgery: usual surgery

What is being measured

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

  1. Myocardial damage measured by troponin level > 0.4 microgr/L (day 1)

    Myocardial damage measured by Troponin I level > 0.4 microg/L

    Measured: Day 1

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Renal damage

    Renal damage measured with Post-operative Creatinin clearance < 50% of Pre-operative creatinin clearance

    Measured: Day 0, day 1, day 3 or day 5.

  2. Muscle weakness

    Muscle weakness measured by Creatine phospho Kinase > 200 UI/L

    Measured: Day 0, day 1, day 3 or day 5

  3. Myocardial damage measured by troponin level > 0.4 microgr/L

    Measured: Day 0, 3, or 5

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ischemic preconditioning during aortic clamping and Procedure/Surgery: usual surgery in people with Vascular Surgery and Ischemia-reperfusion, run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France at 4 sites 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 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: recruitment difficulties). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Myocardial damage measured by troponin level > 0.4 microgr/L (day 1) (time frame: Day 1). 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 NCT02254642, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 27 Apr 2022.
