About this study

Official title: Cytokine Filter Usage During Open Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair- a Single-center Randomized Prospective Trial- Cytosorb and Its Imapct on Open TAAA Repair Outcome

Prospecrtive study including 20-30 randomized patients treated by open repair because of an TAAA larger than 55 mm During the surgery, a heart lung machine is applied for distal perfusion during aortic cross clamping to enable distal organ perfusion.

Regardless an intensive inflammatory reaction is a well known effect after reperfusion, leading to a uncontrolled inflammation during th first days after surgery. This may be associated to bad outcome and decreased survival rates. By the application of a intraoperative cytokine and DAMP filter this negative ffect could be reduced, resulting in a better outcome after surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Amount of perioperative catecholamine usage in mg/dl for the first seven days after surgery

    amount measured in mg/dl

    Measured: 7 days perioperatively -10 day postoperatively

  2. Amount of transfusion required during and after the surgery, assessed in transfusion more or less than 5 blood bags

    packed cells, erythrocyte concentrate

    Measured: 7 days perioperatively 5-10 day postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Acute kidney injury, measured using serum creatinine in mg/dl

    AKI assessed according to the KDIGO classification perioperatively for the first 7 days after surgery

    Measured: 7 days perioperatively, -10 day postoperatively

  2. Patients survival for the first 12 months after surgery

    Survival yes/no within the first 12 months after surgery

    Measured: 12 months 10-14 months postopertaibely

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Postoperative Complications and Inflammatory Response, run by RWTH Aachen University at 1 site in Germany.

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 2 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 10 Apr 2024. 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 Germany. 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 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?

Amount of perioperative catecholamine usage in mg/dl for the first seven days after surgery (time frame: 7 days perioperatively -10 day postoperatively). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 10 Apr 2024.
