Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to establish the efficacy of of clevidipine versus placebo in treating postoperative hypertension. Approximately 100 patients with postoperative hypertension undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) or minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) surgery and/or valve replacement/repair procedures were anticipated to be randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups: clevidipine or placebo.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The primary objective was to determine the efficacy of clevidipine versus placebo in treating postoperative hypertension by comparing the incidence of bailout in the clevidipine and placebo treatment groups during the 30-minute time period from initiation of study drug. Secondary objectives included assessments of efficacy through measuring time to target blood pressure (BP) lowering effect defined as 15% reduction in SBP, change in mean arterial pressure (MAP) and the incidence of bailout by causality. Assessments for safety included change in heart rate (HR) from baseline.

Study Groups

clevidipine

Clevidipine was administered in a blinded fashion intravenously, starting with an infusion rate of 0.4 μg/kg/min (non weight-based equivalent is 2 mg/hr), titrating upward, as tolerated by the patient, in doubling increments approximately every 90 seconds up to an infusion rate of 3.2 μg/kg/min (16 mg/hr) to achieve the desired blood pressure-lowering effect. Up-titration to infusion rates above 3.2 μg/kg/min could be used, guided by the patient's response, by increasing the infusion rate in serial increments of 1.5 μg/kg/min, up to the maximum recommended clevidipine infusion rate of 8.0 μg/kg/min. Clevidipine was to be administered for a minimum of 30 minutes, unless bailout occurred, and up to a maximum of one hour.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

clevidipine

Intervention Type DRUG

placebo

Placebo consisted of 20% lipid emulsion (the same lipid vehicle used for clevidipine) administered in a blinded fashion intravenously following the same study drug administration guidelines as with clevidipine study drug administration guidelines. As with clevidipine, placebo was to be administered for a minimum of 30 minutes, unless bailout occurred, and up to a maximum of one hour.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Provide written informed consent before initiation of any study-related procedures.
* Be at least 18 years of age
* Be scheduled for cardiac surgery (including Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting \[CABG\], Off Pump Coronary Artery Bypass \[OPCAB\], Minimally Invasive Direct Coronary Artery Bypass \[MIDCAB\] surgery, and/or valve replacement/repair procedures)


* Expected to survive beyond 24 hours post-surgical procedure
* No surgical complications or conditions, present or anticipated, that preclude them from inclusion in a double blind, placebo-controlled study
* Determined to be hypertensive (SBP \> 140 mm Hg) within 4 hours of arrival in a postoperative setting
* It is the investigator's intent to lower the patient's SBP by a minimum of 15% from its baseline value

Exclusion Criteria

* Women of child-bearing potential (unless they have a negative pregnancy test)
* Recent cerebrovascular accident (within 3 months before randomization)
* Known intolerance to calcium channel blockers
* Allergy to soybean oil or egg lecithin (components of the lipid vehicle)
* Pre-existing left bundle branch block or permanent ventricular pacing
* Any other disease or condition, which, in the judgment of the investigator would place a patient at undue risk by being enrolled in the trial.
* Participation in another therapeutic drug or therapeutic device trial within 30 days of starting study
