Trial summary

The overall aim of this study is to examine the role of mitochondrial respiration in human diabetic tissue before and after ischemia. Furthermore we will examine the ability of ischemic preconditioning (IPC) to preserve the mitochondrial function and hemodynamic performance of both non-diabetic and diabetic fibers… Read more about this study

About this study

The overall aim of this study is to examine the role of mitochondrial respiration in human diabetic tissue before and after ischemia. Furthermore we will examine the ability of ischemic preconditioning (IPC) to preserve the mitochondrial function and hemodynamic performance of both non-diabetic and diabetic fibers after ischemia. To increase our understanding on the metabolic changes during ischemia in both non-diabetic and diabetic tissue we will use Dimethyl Malonate and examine the impact of this blockade on post-ischemic mitochondrial respiration.

Read the detailed description

20 diabetic and 20 non-diabetic patients undergoing elective CABG surgery or other heart surgery where extracorporal circulation is used will be included in the study. The patiens will not be given any treatment prior to the operation. During the cardiac surgery a small sample of the heart is routinely removed when the patient is connection to the heart-lung machine. From this tissue sample it is possible to isolate muscle trabeculae which will be used in an atrial strip model and randomized to one of four types of treatment. Simultaneously with the isolation of the trabeculae, a fifth trabecular will be used to assess mitochondrial respiration at baseline. Group 1 will serve as a sham control, group 2 will serve as ischemic control and receive an extended period of hypoxia, Group 3 will be treated with ischemic preconditioning, where short periods of non lethal lack of oxygen will be given directly to the tissue (after removal from the patient) prior to the extended period of hypoxia, Group 4 will receive dimethyl malonate prior to the prolonged hypoxia.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mitochondrial respiration of individual complexes

    Mitochondrial respiration of individual complexes will serve as primary outcome and will be examined by oxygraph technique.

    Measured: Outcome will be assessed within a year when the inclusion of patients is complete

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Hemodynamic performance

    Hemodynamic performance will be measured as contractile force of heart fibers before during and after ischemia.

    Measured: Outcome will be assessed within a year when the inclusion of patients is complete

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dimethyl Malonate, Ischemic preconditioning and Ischemia reperfusion in people with Reperfusion Injuries, Myocardial, run by University of Aarhus.

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 1 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 7 Jun 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Mitochondrial respiration of individual complexes (time frame: Outcome will be assessed within a year when the inclusion of patients is complete). 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 7 Jun 2019.
