Aortic Cross-Clamping & Systemic Inflammatory Response in Humans: Effect

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome is a major cause of morbidity and mortality after abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) surgery. It is postulated that aortic cross-clamping during open AAA repair may cause ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) leading to the systemic releases of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammatory cytokines which damage distant organs, including heart, kidney, and lung.

Ischemic preconditioning, first described in cardiac surgery, is a mechanism whereby tissues exposed to a brief period of nonlethal I/R develop resistance to subsequent ischemic insult. Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC), is a phenomenon whereby brief periods of ischemia followed by reperfusion in one organ (usually skeletal muscle) provide systemic protection from prolonged ischemia. The mechanisms through which RIPC confer organ protection remains unclear.

The hypothesis is that limb RIPC would reduce systemic inflammatory mediators produced by ischemia-reperfusion and thereby protect the remote organs.

A single-center, prospective, randomized, parallel-group controlled trial is conducted on patients undergoing elective open infrarenal AAA repair. Written informed consent is obtained from each participant. The study protocol was reviewed and approved by the Research Ethics Committee of Rouen, France.

Patients are divided in two groups : the sham-operated control group underwent surgery without RIPC and the RIPC group : Two cycles of intermittent crossclamping of the common iliac artery (right or left) with 10 minutes ischemia followed by 10 minutes reperfusion served as the RIPC stimulus, before prolonged ischemia.

Blood samples are collected for analysis at the following time points: before surgery (baseline), 1, 3 and 24 h after cross-clamp release (reperfusion). The systemic inflammatory response is measured using the serum concentrations of TNF-alpha, and IL 1, 4, 6, 10. Cardiac, renal and pulmonary functions are evaluated with usual biological markers and clinical monitoring until 28 days after surgery.

Aortic surgery is a perfect clinical model of ischemia-reperfusion which makes it possible to study the impact of RIPC in humans. This biological approach would help to better understand the mechanisms underlying this technique.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
