Plain English summary of protocol
Background and study aims.
Propofol is a general anaethestic drug widely used in heart surgery. Propofol has been shown to protect the muscles of the heart against injury. During heart surgery a cardioplegia solution is infused into the heart’s circulation, which causes the heart to stop beating so that the surgery can be performed. There is a vast amount of evidence that propofol protects against the damaging effects of placing the heart under a state of cardioplegic arrest during surgery, but there are still conflicting reports of its benefits. In this study we plan to investigate the protective action of propofol added to blood cardioplegia in patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or aortic valve replacement surgery (AVR).
Who can participate?
96 patients aged 18 to 80 undergoing CABG or AVR with cardiopulmonary bypass at the Bristol Heart Institute (BHI).
What does the study involve?
Participants will be randomly allocated to one of two groups. During surgery one group will receive cardioplegia solution with propofol supplementation and the other group will receive a cardioplegia solution with placebo (dummy drug) supplementation. We will measure the markers of heart muscle stress and injury from biopsies (small pieces of tissue) taken from the heart. We will also look at markers of whole body stress and inflammation which can tell us about damage to the heart. After 3 months all patients will complete a health status questionnaire.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
If benefits are shown from this study we will improve outcomes for patients undergoing heart surgery and reduce hospital costs.
Where is the study run from?
Bristol Heart Institute (UK).
When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
From February 2010 to September 2015.
Who is funding the study?
National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) (UK).

| Scientific title | A single-centre randomised controlled trial of propofol cardioplegia on blood and myocardial biomarkers of stress and injury in patients having isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or aortic valve replacement (AVR) using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) |
| Study acronym | ProMPT |
| Study objectives | The ProMPT trial aims to test the hypothesis that supplementation of the cardioplegic solution with propofol will be cardioprotective for patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or aortic valve replacement surgery (AVR) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). On 01/02/2011 the overall trial start date was changed from 01/09/2009 to 15/02/2010 and the overall trial end date was changed from 28/02/2012 to 31/03/2012. On 20/12/2012 the overall trial end date was changed from 31/03/2012 to 30/09/2012. Data analysis and report writing will continue until 30/09/2013. On 01/10/2014 the overall trial end date for this trial was changed from 30/09/2012 to 30/09/2015. Data analysis and report writing will continue until 30/09/2015. |
| Ethics approval(s) | 16th November 2009 (West Midlands) |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Cardiac disease/coronary surgery |
| Intervention | Eligible patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or aortic valve replacement (AVR) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and who consent to participate will be randomly allocated to either: 1. Control: cardioplegia with placebo (intralipid) supplementation. Warm blood cardioplegia will be used for CABG participants and cold blood cardioplegia for participants having AVR. 2. Intervention: cardioplegia with propofol supplementation (6 µg/ml). Warm blood cardioplegia will be used for participants having isolated CABG and cold blood cardioplegia for participants having AVR. Method of administration will be through either antegrade or retrograde cardioplegia delivery according to local protocol. Several 'doses' may be given but this varies according to the length of surgery time. The duration of treatment is the time on cardiopulmonary bypass and a 3-month postal health status questionnaire follow-up will be completed for all patients. |

| Primary outcome measure | Current primary outcome measure(s) as of 01/02/2011: The primary outcome will be myocardial injury, assessed by measuring myocardial Troponin T in serum from blood samples collected pre-operatively and at 1, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours post chest closure. Previous primary outcome measure(s): Myocardial injury, assessed by measuring myocardial Troponin T in serum from blood samples collected pre-operatively and 1, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours post cross-clamp release |
| Secondary outcome measures | Current secondary outcome measure(s) as of 01/02/2011: 1. Myocardial ischaemic stress assessed using biopsies taken from left and right ventricles immediately prior to aortic cross-clamping and 10 minutes post chest closure. Gene expression and cellular changes associated with stress and injury signalling pathways will be measured from metabolite/RNA extracts. 2. Systemic metabolic stress, assessed by measuring lactate in blood samples collected pre-operatively, 10 minutes after aortic chest closure and 1, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours post chest closure. 3. Blood pH, measured using each sample collected for (b). 4. Renal function, assessed by measuring creatinine in serum from blood samples collected pre-operatively and 1, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours post chest closure. 5.
