Phase:

PHASE2

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether MC-1 is effective and safe in reducing cardiovascular and neurological events in patients undergoing high-risk coronary artery bypass surgery

Detailed Description

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) effectively relieves angina, results in longer survival, and a better quality of life in specific subgroups of patients with obstructive coronary artery disease....

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Patients must be scheduled to undergo CABG surgery (during routine scheduling times) planned to use cardiopulmonary bypass
  • Patients must be considered at high risk for subsequent neurological or myocardial complications defined as meeting 2 or more of the following:
  • Age \>65
  • Current smoker
  • History of diabetes mellitus requiring treatment other than diet
  • Evidence of left ventricular dysfunction or congestive heart failure assessed by: ejection fraction (EF) \<45%, left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) or pulmonary wedge pressure greater than or equal to 20 mm Hg, pulmonary edema by chest X-ray, cardiothoracic ratio \>50% on chest X-ray
  • History of a previous non-disabling stroke, transient ischemic attack, or carotid endarterectomy
  • Urgent CABG intervention defined as the need to stay in the hospital (although patient may be operated on within a normal scheduling routine
  • History of a myocardial infarction that occurred more than 48 hours but less than 6 weeks prior to CABG surgery
  • Prior peripheral artery surgery or angioplasty
  • Moderate renal dysfunction defined by creatinine ≥ 133 micromol/L (1.5 mg/dL), but \< 250 micromol/L (2.8 mg/dL)
  • Presence of at least one asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis (≥50%) either in one or two carotid arteries

Exclusion

  • Planned associated valve surgery or concurrent carotid endarterectomy
  • Planned aortic dissection repair or aortic root reconstruction
  • Screening visit occurring less than 4 hours before scheduled CABG surgery
  • MMSE score less than 24 at the screening visit
  • Current cardiogenic shock, acute left ventricular rupture, ventricular septal rupture, or papillary muscle rupture
  • Uncontrolled diabetes defined as fasting serum blood glucose value equal to or greater than 24 mmol/L (432 mg/dL) at the time of screening (if fasting serum blood glucose not obtained at screening, values obtained within 30 days prior to screening visit may be used)
  • Myocardial infarction occurring \<48 hours prior to planned CABG surgery
  • Severe renal dysfunction defined as a serum creatinine value ≥ 250 micromol/L (2.8 mg/dL) or nephritic syndrome at screening (or obtained within 30 days prior to screening visit)
  • History of liver cirrhosis, chronic active hepatitis, or severe liver dysfunction , or liver transaminase ≥3 times ULN at screening (or obtained within 30 days prior to screening visit)
  • History of malignancy during last 5 years except for basal cell carcinoma
  • Planned surgery for atrial fibrillation
  • Pregnancy or potential for pregnancy
  • Any medical or psychiatric condition which in the opinion of the investigator makes the patient an unsuitable candidate for the study
  • History of alcohol or drug abuse within the past year
  • Participation in any other investigation drug or device study within 30 days of randomization
