About this study

Congenital Heart Diseases (CHD) are one of the most common congenital anomalies. Worldwide, 8 to 9 out of 1000 of children are born with a CHD, of which 25 percent of are cyanotic CHD. In Indonesia, the prevalence is 43.200 out of 4.8 million births annually. The morbidity and mortality of cyanotic CHDs in the National Cardiovascular Center Harapan Kita (NCCHK) are higher than acyanotic CHDs. Open-heart surgery using a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) machine temporarily takes over the function of the heart and lung during surgery. However, the use of CPB has several negative effects such myocardial injury, systemic inflammation, and reperfusion injury. Preoperative hypoxia in cyanotic CHD tends to be associated with a higher risk of myocardial injury. Myocardial protection has an important role in attenuating those effects. Generally, we use a cardioplegia solution as myocardial protection, but there are several non-cardioplegia techniques that can be used to enhance myocardial protection during cardiac bypass, such as adding an anesthetic agent. Dexmedetomidine (DEX) is the active dextroisomer of medetomidine, a selective α-2 adrenergic, which has major effects including hypnosis, sedation, and analgesia as well as cardiovascular effects. The sedation is induced by stimulating the α-2 adrenergic receptor in the locus coeruleus (LC) in the pons cerebri. DEX also increases the level of GABA and Galanin and reduces endogenous norepinephrine. The lower level of endogenous norepinephrine decreases the afterload of the ventricles, increases cardiac output, and reduces myocardial injury as a result. Furthermore, the peripheral effects of DEX can reduce myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MIR) by inhibiting NF-кB pathway activation and reducing the number of proinflammatory cytokines released. Research related to the priming and infusion of DEX during CPB in patients with cyanotic CHDs who are undergoing open-heart surgery is less reported. The aims of this study are to determine the effectiveness of the priming and infusion of DEX during CPB as myocardial protection by using two different doses compared to the control group. The population included in this study is pediatric patients with cyanotic CHD who are undergoing open-heart surgery using CPB and who classified as 6 to 9 in the Aristotle Score.

Read the detailed description

The investigators will conduct a double-blind randomized controlled trial preliminary study to determine the effectiveness of the priming and infusion of DEX during CPB as myocardial protection by using two different doses compared to the control group. The population included in this study will be pediatric patients with cyanotic CHD who are undergoing open-heart surgery using CPB and who classified as 6 to 9 in the Aristotle Score. This study was approved by the research ethical committee (Institutional Review Board) of the National Cardiovascular Center Harapan Kita Jakarta (NCCHK). Before randomization, participants who are eligible based on inclusion and exclusion criterias will be given informed consent. If the guardians of the patients agree, the patient will be included in this research. Fifteen pediatric patients with cyanotic CHD will be randomly divided into three groups A, B, and C. Group A is the control group and will be given 50 ml Ringer acetate solution in a 50 ml syringe that will be added to the priming solution in CPB, followed by 50 ml of Ringer acetate solution administered in a syringe pump infusion running at 25 ml/hour and which will be ended by the end of CPB. Group B will received DEX 1 mcg/kg diluted in 50 ml of Ringer acetate solution in a 50 ml syringe added in the priming solution in CPB, followed by 50 ml of Ringer acetate solution administered in a syringe pump infusion running at 25 ml/hour and which will be ended by the end of CPB. Group C will be administered 0.5 mcg/kg DEX, diluted in 50 ml of Ringer acetate solution in a 50 ml syringe added in the priming solution in CPB, followed by 0.25 mcg/kg/hour DEX diluted in 50 ml of Ringer acetate solution administered in a syringe pump infusion running at 25 ml/hour infusion which will be ended by the end of CPB.

Age, gender, body weight, body length, body surface area, Aristotle scores, aortic cross-clamp time, CPB time, and operation time are included as demographics and characteristics data. The investigators will measure myocardial injury biomarker serum levels (Troponin I) and cytokines proinflammatory biomarker serum levels (IL-6) as the primary outcome of myocardial protection. Serum levels of troponin I and IL-6 will be taken 4 times (T1: 5 minutes after induction as baseline level; T2: 1 hour after CPB; T3: 6 hours after CPB, and T4: 24 hours after CPB). Secondary outcomes include hemodynamic profile (Cardiac output, cardiac index, and systemic vascular resistance, at 6 hours, 24 hours, and 48 hours after CPB plus serum lactate levels at 5 minutes after induction as baseline level, 1 hour, 6 hours, and 24 hours after CPB), morbidity outcomes (the highest Vasoinotropic Score at the first 24 hours after CPB, length of mechanical ventilation, and length of intensive care stay), and adverse event occurrences such as hypotension and bradycardia (at 5 minutes after induction as baseline level, 1 hour, 6 hours, and 24 hours after CPB).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Dexmedetomidine Hcl 100 Mcg/mL Inj in people with Congenital Heart Disease in Children and Cardiopulmonary Bypass, run by National Cardiovascular Center Harapan Kita Hospital Indonesia at 1 site in Indonesia.

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 11 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 28 Sep 2022. 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 Indonesia. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined 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.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Serum Troponin I at baseline (time frame: 5 minutes after induction of anesthesia (T1)). The study lists 8 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 28 Sep 2022.
