Trial Outcomes & Findings for Hydroxychloroquine and Cognitive Function After Surgery (NCT NCT03025087)

NCT ID: NCT03025087

Last Updated: 2024-08-20

Results Overview

Ktrans represents the "permeability" or "leakage" constant across the blood-brain barrier and is calculated by measuring the amount of gadolinium-based contrast agent in the extravascular-extracellular space. Ktrans is a constant assessed on the postoperative MRI and has no units of measure.

Phase 2
6 evaluable subjects (3 cardiac, 3 noncardiac patients): 1000 mg HCQ on the day prior to surgery followed by 400 mg daily until the day of MRI imaging on postoperative day 1-5 Hydroxychloroquine: Participants will be getting hydroxychloroquine
Phase 3
6 evaluable cardiac subjects 1000 mg HCQ on the day prior to surgery followed by 400 mg twice daily (800 mg total) until the day of MRI imaging on postoperative day 1-5. Hydroxychloroquine: Participants will be getting hydroxychloroquine
Phase 4
6 evaluable cardiac subjects: 1000 mg HCQ on the day prior to surgery followed by 500 mg twice daily (1000 mg total) until the day of MRI imaging on postoperative day 1-5. Hydroxychloroquine: Participants will be getting hydroxychloroquine
Phase 5
6 evaluable cardiac subjects: 1000 mg HCQ 1-2 hours after separation from CPB followed by the highest tolerated dose from the previous 4 phases divided into 2 equal daily doses until the day of MRI imaging on postoperative day 1-5. Hydroxychloroquine: Participants will be getting hydroxychloroquine
