Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to show which of two different types of fluid is best for cardiac surgical patients. During and after the subject's heart surgery, the subject will be given either Lactated Ringer's or 5% human albumin to replace lost blood and body fluids and to regulate blood pressure.

About this study

Official title: Lactated Ringer's Versus 5% Human Albumin: A Double-Blinded, Randomized, Prospective Study in Cardiac Surgical Patients

The purpose of this study is to show which of two different types of fluid is best for cardiac surgical patients. During and after the subject's heart surgery, the subject will be given either Lactated Ringer's or 5% human albumin to replace lost blood and body fluids and to regulate blood pressure.

Albumin (human) 5% is a sterile, liquid preparation of albumin derived from large pools of human plasma. All units of human plasma used in the manufacture of Albumin (human) 5% are provided by FDA approved blood establishments only.

Lactated Ringer's is a sterile, nonpyrogenic solution containing isotonic concentrations of electrolytes in water for injection. It is FDA approved for administration by intravenous infusion for parental replacement of extracellular losses of fluid and electrolytes.

The hypothesis of this study is that the individual total fluid volume and alveolar-arterial gradient will be less with 5% human albumin compared to Lactated Ringer's in the perioperative cardiac surgical patient.

Read the detailed description

Following Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval and written informed patient consent, 40 elective, cardiac surgical patients will be randomized to two different fluid therapy regimens, 5% human albumin only or Lactated Ringer's only, beginning in the intraoperative period and up to 6 hours in the intensive care unit. Providers and patients will be blinded to the fluid administered in the operating room and intensive care unit. The primary outcome measure will be the total volume of 5% human albumin or Lactated Ringer's given during the study period to maintain specified hemodynamic guidelines. Hemodynamic instability will be defined according to each patient's stipulated baseline parameters. Fluid will be administered at the request of providers in the operating room and intensive care unit in compliance with a perioperative fluid algorithm.

What participants receive

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

  • Lactated Ringer'sDrug

    Crystalloid fluid given for hemodynamic resuscitation based off of individual patient needs.

  • 5% Human AlbuminDrug

    Colloid given for hemodynamic resuscitation based off of individual patient needs.

What is being measured

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

  1. Total Fluid Administered Indexed to Weight

    Adequate fluid volume plays a major part in maintaining the necessary hemodynamics to prevent organ damage during cardiac surgery. This will be measured by the total volume of fluid administered to the subject from the start of surgery up to 6 hours in the intensive care unit.

    Measured: Start of surgery up to 6 hours into the intensive care unit (ICU)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Alveolar-arterial Gradient

    Alveolar-arterial gradient will be calculated from arterial blood gases on each patient. This value will be used to compare shunt in each arm.

    Measured: Calculated throughout the study up to 6 hours in the ICU

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Lactated Ringer's and 5% Human Albumin in people with Hemodynamic Stability, run by William C. Oliver 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 3 inclusion and 27 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 16 Apr 2019. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 16 Apr 2019). 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?

Total Fluid Administered Indexed to Weight (time frame: Start of surgery up to 6 hours into the intensive care unit (ICU)). 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 16 Apr 2019.
