About this study

Official title: The Role of Hydrocortisone Per-treatment in Decreasing Side Effects of Protamine Sulfate During Cardiac Surgeries, a Randomized Control Trial.

This study aims to compare the hemodynamic parameters within and between patients who received Protamine Sulfate (PS) with Hydrocortisone (HC) vs. Protamine Sulfate alone during cardiac surgeries.

Read the detailed description

the investigators hypothesized that patients received PS along with HC would have different results in intraoperative hemodynamic changes of the blood pressure - both Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) and Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) reading. Differences would also be expected for Heart rate (HR), Airway pressure and the usage of Adrenaline, Noradrenaline and Dobutamine.

Patients who had cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass were screened and enrolled from 4/7/2019 to 30/4/2020. Inclusion criteria for patients were normal preoperative hemoglobin level, normal preoperative platelet count, no known defect of the coagulation system, and patients with unimpaired renal function (creatinine clearance < 30 ml/kg/min). The patients were excluded if they were younger than 18 years, patients with known defect of the coagulation system, renal impairment, previous vasectomy, allergy to fish or unable to give consent form.

The study carried out as a parallel-group, randomized, controlled trial with a 1:1 allocation ratio. Patients were screened for eligibility in the wards before being invited to participate in the research. After the invitation, the study was explained to patients. Those who agreed to participate in the study were asked to sign the consent form.

What is being measured

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

  1. Blood pressure

    both systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressure

    Measured: changes of baseline blood pressure taken preoperatively and readings taken during 30 minutes after Protamine Sulfate was given

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Hemodynamic parameters

    Heart rate (Beat Per Minute),

    Measured: changes of baseline readings taken preoperatively and readings taken during 30 minutes after Protamine Sulfate was given

  2. Hemodynamic parameters

    Airway pressure (cm H2O)

    Measured: changes of baseline readings taken preoperatively and readings taken during 30 minutes after Protamine Sulfate was given

  3. Hemodynamic parameters

    The usage of Adrenaline, Noradrenaline and Dobutamine (microgram/kg/min).

    Measured: the change in drugs doses required to maintain mean arterial pressure more than 65 mmHg during the first 30 minutes following Protamine dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Hydrocortisone 200mg IV in people with Blood Pressure and Heart Rate, run by University of Jordan at 1 site in Jordan.

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 5 inclusion and 6 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 17 Jun 2020. 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 Jordan. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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

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?

Blood pressure (time frame: changes of baseline blood pressure taken preoperatively and readings taken during 30 minutes after Protamine Sulfate was given). 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 17 Jun 2020.
