PHASE1

Brief Summary

This is a medical research study designed to see if an infusion of a naturally occurring hormone, GLP-1, works when used to decrease blood sugar during cardiac surgery.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • male or female age (18-80 years),
  • ability to provide informed consent,
  • elective CABG with or without single or multivalve repair or replacement, and/ or
  • single or multivalve repair or replacement requiring CPB and sternotomy (to include subjects who are undergoing first time or redo cardiac surgery).

Exclusion

  • concomitant surgery (e.g. carotid endarterectomy),
  • emergent surgery,
  • current steroid use,
  • insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM),
  • cardiac surgery without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (e.g. off-pump CABG),
  • current use of positive intravenous inotropic agents,
  • serious intercurrent illness (endocarditis, sepsis, active malignancy requiring treatment) or active infection,
  • known substance abuse,
  • receipt of an investigational drug or device within 30 days prior to surgery,
  • known allergy to any of the following: GLP-1, fentanyl, midazolam, isoflurane, propofol, morphine, heparin or protamine,
  • Sulfonylurea medication administration on morning of surgery (such as, tolbutamide, tolazamide (Tolinase), chlorpropamide (Diabinese). glipizide (Glucotrol, Glucotrol XL), glyburide (Micronase, Glynase PresTabs, and DiaBeta), glimepiride (Amaryl),
  • Major end organ dysfunction defined as:
  • Cardiac: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \< 30% by left ventriculography or echocardiogram (within 90 days prior to randomization), current use of positive intravenous inotropic agents, preoperative use of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP), left ventricular assist device (LVAD), or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO);
  • Renal: preoperative serum Creatinine \> 2.0 mg/dL;
  • Hepatic: aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine transferase (ALT) \> 2.5 x upper limit normal;
  • Hematologic: preoperative hematocrit (HCT) \< 30%, platelet count \< 100,000/mm3, history of (or family history of) bleeding or clotting disorder;
  • Patients with a history of or risk factors for acute pancreatitis (i.e. ethanol abuse, gall stones) will be excluded from this study,
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding females, or
  • any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, may compromise the safety of the subject or would preclude the subject from successful completion of the study.
