Intravenous Fish Oil Based Lipid Emulsion to Enhance Recovery in High-Risk Cardiac Surgery Patients
- Summary
- The MODIFY CSX study is a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled trial conducted in heart centers in Germany and Italy. A total of 550 high-risk cardiac surgery patients will receive either 0.20 g fish oil/kg body weight (BW) + standard of care versus same volume of placebo (NaCl) + standard of care.

Atrial fibrillation
Timeframe: Postoperative days 0-7
The primary objective is to demonstrate superiority of fish oil compared to placebo in the prevention of atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery (AFACS), incorporating atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter and atrial tachycardia, until 7 days after surgery. This clinical endpoint is assessed as part of the clinical practice.
Mechanical ventilation
Timeframe: Postoperative days 0-7, ICU discharge (approximately 3-4 days after surgery), hospital discharge (approximately 1-2 weeks after surgery), day 30 follow-up
Duration of mechanical ventilation
Adverse Events
Timeframe: Preoperative day -1 to 12 months follow-up
AEs leading to discontinuation/AEs at least possibly related to the IMP/SAEs
Delta Sequential Organ Failure Assessment Score (SOFA) Score
Timeframe: Postoperative days 0-7
A scoring system that assesses the performance of several organ systems in the body (neurologic, blood, liver, kidney, and blood pressure/hemodynamics) and assigns a score based on the data obtained in each category.
Stroke
Timeframe: Postoperative days 0-7
Incidence of stroke
Inotropics/vasopressors
Timeframe: Postoperative days 0-7, ICU discharge (approximately 3-4 days after surgery), hospital discharge (approximately 1-2 weeks after surgery), day 30 follow-up
Duration of inotropic/vasopressor support
Acute Kidney Injury
Timeframe: Postoperative days 0-7
Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes \[KDIGO\] stages 1-3
Infection rate
Timeframe: Postoperative days 0-7
Number of infections
Survival status
Timeframe: ICU discharge (approximately 3-4 days after surgery), hospital discharge (approximately 1-2 weeks after surgery), day 30 follow-up, months 3, 6, and 12 follow-up
Overall survival
Quality of Life (SF-36)
Timeframe: Screening (preoperative day -7 until day -1), day 30 follow-up, 3, 6, and 12 months follow-up
To measure the quality of life
Postoperative bleeding
Timeframe: Postoperative days 0-7
Bleeding after surgery
Time to ICU discharge alive
Timeframe: ICU discharge (approximately 3-4 days after surgery)
Number of days alive in the ICU
Time to hospital discharge alive
Timeframe: Hospital discharge (approximately 1-2 weeks after surgery)
Number of days alive in the hospital
Physical activity assessment
Timeframe: Screening (preoperative day -7 until day -1), day 30 follow-up, 3 and 6 months follow-up
Katz activities of daily living (ADL) and Lawton Instrumental ADL (IADL)
Days alive and out of hospital
Timeframe: Day 30 follow-up, 3, 6, and 12 months follow-up
Time to be alive and discharge from hospital
Time to discharge alive
Timeframe: ICU discharge (approximately 3-4 days after surgery), hospital discharge (approximately 1-2 weeks after surgery)
Time to be alive and discharged from ICU/hospital
Weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)
Timeframe: Intraoperative day 0 (during surgery)
Number of attempts to wean from CPB during surgery
Persistent Organ Dysfunction + Death
Timeframe: Postoperative days 0-7, ICU discharge (approximately 3-4 days after surgery), hospital discharge (approximately 1-2 weeks after surgery), day 30 follow-up
Requiring supportive technologies during the convalescent phase of critical illness
ICU Readmission rates
Timeframe: Day 30 follow-up, 3, 6, and 12 months follow-up
Readmission to ICU
Hospital Readmission rates
Timeframe: Day 30 follow-up, 3, 6, and 12 months follow-up
