NCT00799604

Brief Summary

This study was designed to evaluate the pharmacodynamics of a bolus dosing regimen of clevidipine, a vascular-selective L-type calcium channel antagonist, for the management of blood pressure in cardiac surgery patients, as well as to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of clevidipine after bolus administration.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • The Mean Maximum Absolute Change in Systolic Blood Pressure From Baseline Within 15 Minutes From the First Bolus Dose of Clevidipine (Treatment Period 1, Bolus 1 - Pre-anesthesia).

    Blood Pressure was measured at 60, 45, 30, 0 seconds prior to first Bolus dose (Bolus 1), and every 5 seconds after Bolus 1 for 15 minutes. Baseline SBP of Bolus 1 is defined as, 'median of all measurements prior to or at the start of Bolus 1'. Locally weighted scatterplot smoothing (LOWESS) method was used to determine the minimum SBP value for each patient. Maximum absolute change is the minimum SBP value within 15 minutes from bolus 1 minus baseline value.

    From start to 15 minutes of Bolus 1 dose of clevidipine (pre-anesthesia).

  • The Mean Maximum Percent Change in Systolic Blood Pressure From Baseline Within 15 Minutes From the First Bolus Dose of Clevidipine (Treatment Period 1, Bolus 1 - Pre-anesthesia).

    Blood Pressure was measured at 60, 45, 30, 0 seconds prior to first Bolus dose (Bolus 1), and every 5 seconds after Bolus 1 for 15 minutes. Baseline SBP of Bolus 1 is defined as, 'median of all measurements prior to or at the start of Bolus 1'. Locally weighted scatterplot smoothing (LOWESS) method was used to determine the minimum SBP value for each patient. Maximum percent change is defined as the maximum absolute change divided by the baseline value of bolus 1 and multiplied by 100.

    From start to 15 minutes of Bolus 1 dose of clevidipine (pre-anesthesia).

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • The Percentage of Patients With Systolic Blood Pressure ≤85 mm Hg Within 15 Minutes From the First Bolus Dose of Clevidipine (Treatment Period 1, Bolus 1 - Pre-anesthesia).

    From start to 15 minutes of Bolus 1 dose of clevidipine (pre-anesthesia).

  • The Median Time to 5%, 10%, and 15% Systolic Blood Pressure Reduction From Baseline Within 15 Minutes From the First Bolus Dose of Clevidipine (Treatment Period 1, Bolus 1 -Pre-anesthesia).

    From start to 15 minutes of Bolus 1 of clevidipine (pre-anesthesia).

  • The Mean Percent Change in Systolic Blood Pressure From Baseline Over Time During the First 15 Minutes Following First Bolus Dose of Clevidipine (Treatment Period 1, Bolus 1 - Pre-anesthesia).

    From start to 15 minutes of Bolus 1 of clevidipine (pre-anesthesia).

  • The Median Time to 50%, and, When Available, 90% Recovery From Maximum SBP Effect Following the First Bolus Dose of Clevidipine for Patients Who Achieved the Endpoints (Treatment Period 1, Bolus 1 - Pre-anesthesia).

    Up to 15 minutes following the first bolus dose of clevidipine (pre-anesthesia).

  • Change in Heart Rate After Bolus 1 (Pre-anesthesia).

    Baseline up until the first 15 minutes following Bolus 1 (pre-anesthesia).

Study Arms (1)

clevidipine

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients were sequentially assigned to one of following three planned dose cohorts for Bolus 1 within the clevidipine arm: * Cohort 1: clevidipine 250 µg (0.5 mL) * Cohort 2: clevidipine 500 µg (1 mL) * Cohort 3: clevidipine 125 µg (0.25 mL or 0.5 mL of a 1:1 solution)

Drug: clevidipine

Interventions

Clevidipine (0.5mg/mL in 20% lipid emulsion) was administered as an IV bolus (\<5 sec) by rapid injection for Bolus 1 and for Bolus 2, if second bolus dose was administered, directly into a peripheral venous catheter followed by a normal saline flush (10mL).

Also known as: clevidipine injectable emulsion, clevidipine emulsion, Cleviprex
clevidipine
