Registry summary

Text and fields below are the sponsor's entries at ClinicalTrials.gov, shown as posted.

Patients undergoing open heart surgery are at risk of suffering damage to the heart, brain and kidneys. This study is designed as a 2-by-2 randomized clinical trial with the purpose of investigating the organ protective effects of the glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist Exenatide versus placebo and restrictive versus liberal oxygenation during weaning from cardio-pulmonary bypass.

Interventions

  • Byetta (Lilly, Exenatide)Drug
  • Conoxia (AGA, oxygen)Drug
  • 20% Human AlbuminDrug

Arms4

  • Experimental

    GLP-1

    700 patients will be randomized to GLP-1, that will be administered as follows: 248.5 mL of isotonic sodium chloride added 1.5 mL of 20% human albumin added 25 microg Byetta (Lilly, Exenatide). The study drug infusion is initiated immediately before open heart surgery and ended after 6 hours and 15 minutes. A set dose of 17.4 microg will be given.

  • Placebo comparator

    Placebo

    20% Human Albumin is given as placebo. 700 patients will be randomized to placebo, that will be administered as follows: 248.5 mL of isotonic sodium chloride added 1.5 mL of 20% human albumin. The placebo infusion is initiated immediately before open heart surgery and ended after 6 hours and 15 minutes at the same rate as the study drug.

  • Experimental

    Restrictive Oxygenation

    The intervention is FiO2 of 50%, given as 'Conoxia (AGA, oxygen)'. 700 patients will be randomized to a FiO2 of 50% as long as the arterial O2 saturation (Sa02) remains above 91% during cardiopulmonary bypass, when weaning from and the following hour after weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass. The oxygenation strategy is discontinued and the patient is treated at the discretion of the attending physician after 1. a maximum of 1 hours of intervention or 2. the patient is slid from the operating table to a hospital bed for transfer to the intensive care unit, whichever comes first.

  • Active comparator

    Liberal Oxygenation

    The intervention is a FiO2 of 100%, given as 'Conoxia (AGA, oxygen)'. 700 patients will be randomized to a FiO2 of 100% during cardiopulmonary bypass, when weaning from and the following hour after weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass. The oxygenation strategy is discontinued and the patient is treated at the discretion of the attending physician after 1. a maximum of 1 hours of intervention or 2. the patient is slid from the operating table to a hospital bed for transfer to the intensive care unit, whichever comes first.

Primary outcomes1

Outcomes the sponsor listed as primary.

  1. Time in days to the first occurring of the following co-primary end-points throughout the follow-up period

    Time frame · Minimum 12 months

    Registry description

    1. Death from any cause or 2. Any of the following adverse events 1. Renal failure requiring any type of renal replacement therapy 2. Stroke, defined as persisting (\>24 hours) of any neurological sign or symptom of neurological dysfunction as determined by the treating physician based on available clinical information or CT-scan 3. New onset/worsening heart failure defined as need for mechanical circulatory support at the ICU, inability to close the sternotomy due to post-surgical hemodynamic instability and/or persistent (\> 48 hours from initiation of first surgical procedure after randomization) need for inotropic hemodynamic support. In addition admission for heart failure during follow-up following discharge from the index admission.

Secondary outcomes(2)
  1. Time in days to the occurrence of individual end-points throughout the follow-up period

    Registry description

    1. Time to death from any cause, or 2. Time to death or stroke, or 3. Time to death or renal dysfunction requiring dialysis, or 4. Time to death or new hospitalization for heart failure during follow-up following discharge from the index admission, or 5. Time to death or new onset/worsening in-hospital heart failure.

  2. Incidence of serious adverse events

    Time frame · 12 months

    Registry description

    1. Surgical site infections with need for antibiotics for more than 48 hours (excluding routine use of antibiotics for open sternum, surgical intervention, and/or endocarditis within 6 months of surgery, or 2. Doubling of S-creatinine or urine output below 0.5 mL/kg/hour for 12 hours or more at any time point during index admission, or 3. Hypoglycemia, defined as blood glucose \< 3 mmol/L, during index admission, or 4. Pancreatitis, defined as s-amylase \> 3 times upper normal limit, during index admission, or 5. A relative reduction of LVEF of 50% compared to baseline at any time point during index admission, or 6. Re-operation for bleeding during index admission, or 7. Re-operation for any cause during index admission, or 8. Post-surgery MI (Type 5 MI\[41\]) during index admission, or 9. Re-admission for cardiovascular causes within 12 months
