Study summary

This traditional feasibility study aims to capture preliminary safety and effectiveness information on a near-final Investigational Device design to adequately plan the forthcoming pivotal study.

Read the detailed description

The study design is based on measuring the depth of ischemia during the operation, which is compared to the intraoperative and postoperative morbidity of the patient, especially to the dysfunction of the heart.

A qualified and experienced Monitor is assigned for the study to oversee and document the progress of the trial. The Monitor ensures the trial performance in accordance with the Protocol and Good Clinical Practice (GCP).

The trial team conforms to ISO 13485 quality standards and ISO 14155 GCP. Processes included in the monitoring activities are documented in the quality management system. Below are described the summaries of all these activities.

Source data will be collected and transferred into the electronic CRFs by site staff, and the collected data quality and the conformity to the Good Clinical Practice will be assessed by monitoring. Based on a risk assessment performed, a Data Monitoring Committee shall not be established.

Clinical Research Associate (CRA) is responsible for checking the accuracy and completeness of Case Report Form (CRF) entries, source documents, and other investigation-related records against each other. Other responsibilities of CRA, including detailed Source Data Verification (SDV), are documented by the clinical project manager (CPM) or head of clinical research (HCR)(both are sponsor's representatives). SDVs will be performed and documented during monitoring visits.

Monitoring planning, reporting, and visits are pre-defined and documented with pre-made templates per the sponsor's quality management system. Monitoring visits will be performed to cover data from all study participants, and according to QMS and the Standard Operation Procedures.

The monitoring shall ensure that all source documentation is precise and document control is exercised in all relevant documentation. The monitoring ensures, that the Adverse events are always reported and appropriate authorities or stakeholders are informed.

Study population

Patients scheduled for open-heart operation

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Any 18 to 90-year old patient scheduled for open-heart operation
  • The ability to understand the objective of the study and the risks involved.
  • obtained, including the agreement to authorization to use the protected personal patient records according to privacy legislation.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Inability to obtain an form
  • Patients included as vulnerable population according to Finnish Medical Research Act, including retarded, pregnant women, nursing mothers, prisoners, or forensic patients.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Sep 2021 to primary completion in Jan 2022, 4 months.

Of 125 industry-sponsored observational studies under Coronary Artery Disease, half reached primary completion within 27 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 15 and three quarters within 40. This study's 4 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 759 studies reached it within 40 months; a quarter within 21 and three quarters within 87.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Oct 10, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
