Phase III Study Comparing Two Methods of Cardioplegia in Aortic Valve Surgery Custodiol-N Versus Custodiol

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Aortic Valve Disease
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
Interventions
Drug: Custodiol-N
Drug: Custodiol
Registration Number
NCT02098772
Lead Sponsor
Dr. F. Köhler Chemie GmbH
Brief Summary

The objective of this investigation is to compare the cardioprotective effects and safety of two cardioplegic solutions, HTK Cardioplegic Solution (Custodiol) and Custodiol-N in patients undergoing aortic valve surgery. The study design is a prospective, double blind, multicenter, randomized, Phase III comparison study intended to demonstrate superiority in surgical outcome between Custodiol and Custodiol-N as determined by CK-MB peak value 4-24 hours after opening of the aortic cross-clamp (primary endpoint), catecholamine requirement (cumulative dose) and cardiac Troponin T, occurrence of comorbid events postoperatively (e.g., myocardial infarction).
