Propofol cardioplegia for Myocardial Protection Trial: ProMPT
ISRCTN ISRCTN84968882
ClinicalTrials.gov identifier
Public title Propofol cardioplegia for Myocardial Protection Trial: ProMPT
Scientific title A single-centre randomised controlled trial of propofol cardioplegia on blood and myocardial biomarkers of stress and injury in patients having isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or aortic valve replacement (AVR) using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)
Acronym ProMPT
Serial number at source CS/2008/3029
Study hypothesis The ProMPT trial aims to test the hypothesis that supplementation of the cardioplegic solution with propofol will be cardioprotective for patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or aortic valve replacement surgery (AVR) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).

Please note as of 01/02/2011 the start date of in this record was updated from 01/09/2009 to 15/02/2010 and the end date extended from 28/02/2012 to 31/03/2012.

Status of trial Completed
Patient information material Not available in web format, please use the contact details provided in the interventions field to request a patient information sheet
Target number of participants 96
Interventions Eligible patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or aortic valve replacement (AVR) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and who consent to participate will be randomly allocated to either:
1. Control: cardioplegia with placebo (intralipid) supplementation. Warm blood cardioplegia will be used for CABG participants and cold blood cardioplegia for participants having AVR.
2. Intervention: cardioplegia with propofol supplementation (6 µg/ml). Warm blood cardioplegia will be used for participants having isolated CABG and cold blood cardioplegia for participants having AVR.

Method of administration will be through either antegrade or retrograde cardioplegia delivery according to local protocol. Several 'doses' may be given but this varies according to the length of surgery time. The duration of treatment is the time on cardiopulmonary bypass and a 3-month postal health status questionnaire follow-up will be completed for all patients.

Primary outcome measure(s) Current primary outcome measure(s) as of 01/02/2011:
The primary outcome will be myocardial injury, assessed by measuring myocardial Troponin T in serum from blood samples collected pre-operatively and at 1, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours post chest closure.

Previous primary outcome measure(s):
Myocardial injury, assessed by measuring myocardial Troponin T in serum from blood samples collected pre-operatively and 1, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours post cross-clamp release
Secondary outcome measure(s) Current secondary outcome measure(s) as of 01/02/2011:
1. Myocardial ischaemic stress assessed using biopsies taken from left and right ventricles immediately prior to aortic cross-clamping and 10 minutes post chest closure. Gene expression and cellular changes associated with stress and injury signalling pathways will be measured from metabolite/RNA extracts.
2. Systemic metabolic stress, assessed by measuring lactate in blood samples collected pre-operatively, 10 minutes after aortic chest closure and 1, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours post chest closure.
3. Blood pH, measured using each sample collected for (b).
4. Renal function, assessed by measuring creatinine in serum from blood samples collected pre-operatively and 1, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours post chest closure.
5. The concentration of plasma propofol, measured in blood samples collected immediately before aortic cross-clamping, once during cardioplegia (after blood/cardioplegia mixing) and 10 minutes post cross-clamp release. Blood will be taken from the cardioplegia/bypass circuit.
6. Length of intensive care unit (ICU)/high dependency unit (HDU) stay.
7. Clinical outcomes and serious adverse events, i.e. serious post-operative complications (e.g. myocardial infarction, permanent stroke, renal failure defined as new need for haemodialysis) and death from any cause.
8. Patient health status, monitored using specialist questionnaires administered pre-operatively and 3 months post-operatively. CABG patients will be asked to complete the Coronary Revascularisation Outcome Questionnaire (CROQ) and AVR patients will be asked to complete the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure (MLHF) Questionnaire. The EQ-5D™ health questionnaire will also be administered to all patients.

Previous secondary outcome measure(s):
1. Myocardial ischaemic stress assessed using biopsies taken from left and right ventricles immediately prior to aortic cross-clamping and 10 minutes after cross-clamp release. Gene expression and cellular changes associated with stress and injury signalling pathways will be measured from metabolite/RNA extracts.
2. Systemic oxidative stress assessed by measuring 8-Isoprostane in serum from blood samples collected pre-operatively and 1, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours post cross-clamp release
3. Systemic metabolic stress assessed by measuring lactate in blood samples collected pre-operatively, 10 minutes after aortic cross-clamp release and 1, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours post cross-clamp release
4. Blood pH measured using each sample collected for point 3 above
5. The inflammatory response characterised by measuring IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, C3a, C5a, and TNF1alpha in serum from blood samples collected pre-operatively and 1, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours post cross-clamp release
6. Renal function assessed by measuring creatinine in serum from blood samples collected pre-operatively and 1, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours post cross-clamp release
7. Renal injury assessed by measuring Neutrophil Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) in serum from blood samples collected pre-operatively and at 1, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours post cross-clamp release
8. The concentration of circulating microparticles measured in plasma from blood samples collected pre-operatively and 1, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours post cross-clamp release
9. The concentration of plasma propofol measured in plasma from blood samples collected immediately before aortic cross-clamping, once during cardioplegia (after blood/cardioplegia mixing) and 10 minutes after cross-clamp release. Blood will be taken from the cardioplegia/bypass circuit.
10. Length of intensive care unit (ICU)/high dependency unit (HDU) stay will be recorded
11. Clinical outcomes and serious adverse events, i.e. serious post-operative complications (e.g. myocardial infarction, permanent stroke, renal failure defined as new need for haemodialysis) and death from any cause will be recorded
12. Patient health status monitored using specialist questionnaires pre-operatively and 3 months post-operatively. CABG patients will be asked to complete the Coronary Revascularisation Outcome Questionnaire (CROQ) and AVR patients will be asked to complete the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure (MLHF) Questionnaire. The EQ-5D™ health questionnaire will also be administered to all patients pre–operatively and at 3 months post-operatively.
