NCT00093886

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to establish the safety of clevidipine in the treatment of perioperative hypertension. Approximately 500-900 patients with perioperative 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 nitroglycerin.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Incidence of death, stroke, MI and renal dysfunction

    Initiation of study drug infusion through post-operative Day 30

Study Arms (2)

clevidipine

EXPERIMENTAL

Clevidipine (0.5 mg/mL in 20% lipid emulsion) was initiated after insertion of an arterial line upon the occurrence of perioperative hypertension, as determined by the investigator, and was administered intravenously (IV) at an initial infusion rate of 0.4 μg/kg/min (non weight-based equivalent is 2 mg/h). Clevidipine was titrated to blood pressure lowering effect by doubling increments approximately every 90 seconds up to a maximum infusion rate of 3.2 μg/kg/min (16 mg/h). Infusion rates above 3.2 μg/kg/min were permitted up to the maximum infusion rate of 8.0 μg/kg/min. Treatment was maintained as long as was deemed clinically necessary or until discharge from the ICU. Infusion rates between 4.4 and 8.0 μg/kg/min were to be administered for no more than 2 hours.

Drug: clevidipine

nitroglycerin

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Nitroglycerin (NTG) was initiated after insertion of an arterial line upon the occurrence of perioperative hypertension, as determined by the investigator, and was administered intravenously as per institutional practice. Treatment was maintained as long as was deemed clinically necessary or until discharge from the ICU.

Drug: nitroglycerin

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

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

You may not qualify if:

  • 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
  • Known or suspected hypersensitivity to nitroglycerin
  • Allergy to soybean oil or egg lecithin (components of the lipid vehicle)
  • Pre-existing 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
  • Determined to be hypertensive perioperatively as determined by the investigator
