Recruiting PHASE4 Vasoplegic Syndrome of Cardiac Surgery

Compares treatment options for Vasoplegic Syndrome of Cardiac Surgery

Official title Inotropic Effects of Vasopressin Versus Noradrenaline In Patients With Vasoplegic Syndrome After Cardiac Surgery

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06934798

What this study is testing

What is Vasopressin intravenous infusion?

Vasopressin intravenous infusion is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for vasoplegic syndrome of cardiac surgery.

Also referred to as Arginine Vasopressin, ADH.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
This is a randomized, double-blind clinical trial designed to compare the inotropic effects of vasopressin versus norepinephrine in patients who develop vasoplegic syndrome in the immediate postoperative period following cardiac surgery. Vasoplegic syndrome is characterized by severe hypotension due to systemic vasodilation, despite adequate fluid resuscitation and preserved or elevated cardiac output.
  • Phase 4: studies an already-approved treatment
  • Which group you join is decided by chance.
