Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study protocol is to determine if administering Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG) for treatment of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) induced hypogammaglobulinemia in the early post-operative period can impact post-surgical outcomes (i.e., infection, fluid overload, and associated morbidities).

Detailed Description

The intense post-CPB systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is well described in neonates and infants. Increased production and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including Tumor Necrosis Factor, Interleukin1-B, and Interleukin-6 may suppress myocardial contractility, induce capillary leak, and activate complement and the clotting cascade - together leading to potential organ injury and death. SIRS is also frequently accompanied by impairment of the humoral immune response. One potential reason for this acquired immunodeficiency after cardiac surgery is the removal of immunoglobulins (Ig)s from the vascular space into other compartments where they are either sequestered or lost from the body altogether. We recently demonstrated that such Ig depletion from the intravascular compartment occurs in neonates following cardiac surgery. In a retrospective study of 53 children <3 months of age, we showed that plasma Immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentration drops precipitously after cardiac surgery and does not return to preoperative levels by 7 days; 51% of patients had hypogammaglobulinemia.

An important question is whether post-CPB low IgG has clinical consequence. IgG plays an essential role in the humoral immune system, activating complement and inducing the phagocytic system to neutralize pathogens. IgG deficiency is a known risk factor for infections in other pediatric populations. We were the first to demonstrate that post-CPB hypogammaglobulinemia is associated with worse clinical outcomes, including increased secondary infections (37% vs.12% in those without low IgG, p<0.05). These novel findings are paramount in that they identify a potential modifiable risk factor to improve outcomes after pediatric cardiac surgery with CPB. Additionally, low IgG is accompanied by fluid overload and prolonged mechanical ventilation. Igs constitute an important component of plasma oncotic pressure, so hypogammaglobulinemia may exacerbate anasarca, prolonging postoperative convalescence and increasing the morbidities associated with increased ICU length of stay.9

Igs have an increasingly recognized role in modulating the innate immune response. Present use of IVIG exceeds mere antibody replacement and extends to the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. In fact, more than 75% of IVIG use in the U.S. today is for the treatment of inflammatory conditions, where proposed mechanisms include reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokine and adhesion molecule expression, superantigen neutralization, restoration of glucocorticoid responsiveness, and blockade of complement fragment deposition. It is plausible that IVIG could benefit neonates after cardiac surgery not only via restoration of humoral opsonization capacity, but also as a modulator of innate immunity and SIRS. According to this model, tissue injury, CPB, and shock trigger SIRS, leading to hypogammaglobulinemia and resultant increased susceptibility to inflammatory dysregulation which might be ameliorated via administration of IVIG.

In an adult study, IVIG failed to benefit postoperative cardiac patients with severe SIRS. However, the dose of IVIG given was relatively small compared with that typically given for autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. Neonates and infants may be more susceptible to the harmful effects of acquired hypogammaglobulinemia than adults as they may be unable to generate adequate quantities of antibodies in response to pathogens, relying mainly on maternal Igs until around the 4th to 6th month of life. In addition, they display an exaggerated inflammatory response to CPB as compared with older children and adults, so they might stand to benefit more from IVIG as an immunomodulator.

Because of the increased vulnerability to acquired infection and other morbidities in the setting of hypogammaglobulinemia as result of enhanced SIRS and immune dysfunction, it is feasible that normalization of IgG concentration in the neonatal and infant population may improve clinical outcomes via restoration of the humoral immune system, modulation of the innate immune system, and restoration of intravascular oncotic pressure. The appropriate IgG level threshold for treatment and optimal plasma IgG level to target after administration of IVIG are presently unknown.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: IVIG

Those randomized to the study arm will receive a dose of IVIG 1 gram/kg at 12 hours post-cardiopulmonary bypass. This is a one time only dose and will be administered per hospital standards for IVIG administration.

Drug: IVIG
Those randomized to the study arm will receive a one time dose of IVIG at 12 our post-Cardiopulmonary bypass. This is significantly early than our current standard of care.
Other Names:
  • Gamunex
  • Placebo Comparator: Normal Saline

    Subject's randomized into the placebo arm of the study will receive a volume of normal saline that is comparative to that if they were to receive IVIG. This will be at 12 hours post-cardiopulmonary bypass. This volume is to ensure blinding of study drug. This infusion will be administered as if the subject is receiving IVIG according to hospital policy.

    Other: Placebo
    If the subject is randomized to the placebo group they will receive a volume of normal saline that is equivalent to the volume of IVIG to be administered based on their weight.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Post-Operative Infections [until Hospital Discharge, an average of 30 days]

      The primary endpoint of this study is incidence of post-operative infections through hospital discharge

    2. Post-operative Infection [within 1 week of surgery]

      Any positive culture or treatment for culture negative sepsis within 1 week of surgery

    3. Blood Stream Infection [until Hospital Discharge, an average of 30 days]

      Any positive blood culture during the post-operative period until hospital discharge

    4. Blood Stream Infection Within 1 Week of Surgery [7 days]

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Post-operative Plasma Albumin [up to 48 hours post CPB]

      Plasma albumin will be assessed at 24 and 48 hours.

    2. Fluid Overload Variables [0-24 hours post-CPB]

      The following fluid overload variables will be assessed in milliliters per kilogram at 0-24 hours post-cardiopulmonary bypass: blood product and albumin administration, chest tube output, urine output, peritoneal dialysis output, net fluid balance, and percent fluid overload. The total output the subject's produce (urine, chest tube, peritoneal drainage, etc.) will be subtracted from the total input (medications, blood products, albumin administration, etc) to determine the total fluid intake in milliliters. This total number will then be divided by the subject's weight in kilograms to determine the fluid overload in mL/kg.

    3. Post-operative Inotrope Score [first 48 hours post-CPB]

      The average admit, 12 hour, 24 hour, and 48 hour post-operative inotrope score will be calculated excluding Milrinone. To calculate the inotrope score the following formula was used: (Epinephrine/Norepinephrine dose in mcg/kg/min x 100) + (Dopamine dose in mcg/kg/min x 1) + (Phenylephrine dose in mcg/kg/min x 10) + (Vasopressin dose unit/kg/hr x 60/10000). The higher the inotrope score the more cardiac support the subject requires. There is not a "normal" scale or range used for this calculation.

    4. Respiratory Variables [until Hospital Discharge, an average of 30 days]

      Alive, ventilator free days will be recorded at hospital discharge.

    5. Hospital Discharge [Approximately 1 month]

    11. Fluid Overload Variables [0-48 hours post-CPB]

      The following fluid overload variables will be assessed at 0-24 hours, 25-48 hours, and 0-48 hours post-cardiopulmonary bypass: blood product and albumin administration, chest tube output, urine output, peritoneal dialysis output, net fluid balance, and percent fluid overload.The total output the subject's produce (urine, chest tube, peritoneal drainage, etc.) will be subtracted from the total input (medications, blood products, albumin administration, etc) to determine the total fluid intake in milliliters. This total number will then be divided by the subject's weight in kilograms to determine the fluid overload in mL/kg.

    Title Fluid Overload Variables
    Description The following fluid overload variables will be assessed in milliliters per kilogram at 0-24 hours post-cardiopulmonary bypass: blood product and albumin administration, chest tube output, urine output, peritoneal dialysis output, net fluid balance, and percent fluid overload. The total output the subject's produce (urine, chest tube, peritoneal drainage, etc.) will be subtracted from the total input (medications, blood products, albumin administration, etc) to determine the total fluid intake in milliliters. This total number will then be divided by the subject's weight in kilograms to determine the fluid overload in mL/kg.
    Time Frame 0-24 hours post-CPB

    Arm/Group Title IVIG Normal Saline
    Arm/Group Description Those randomized to the study arm will receive a dose of IVIG 1 gram/kg at 12 hours post-cardiopulmonary bypass. This is a one time only dose. IVIG: Those randomized to the study arm will receive a one time dose of IVIG at 12 our post-Cardiopulmonary bypass. This is significantly early than our current standard of care. Subject's randomized into the placebo arm of the study will receive a volume of normal saline that is comparative to that if they were to receive IVIG. This will be at 12 hours post-cardiopulmonary bypass. This volume is to ensure blinding of study drug. Placebo: If the subject is randomized to the placebo group they will receive a volume of normal saline that is equivalent to the volume of IVIG to be administered based on their weight.

    Title Post-operative Inotrope Score
    Description The average admit, 12 hour, 24 hour, and 48 hour post-operative inotrope score will be calculated excluding Milrinone. To calculate the inotrope score the following formula was used: (Epinephrine/Norepinephrine dose in mcg/kg/min x 100) + (Dopamine dose in mcg/kg/min x 1) + (Phenylephrine dose in mcg/kg/min x 10) + (Vasopressin dose unit/kg/hr x 60/10000). The higher the inotrope score the more cardiac support the subject requires. There is not a "normal" scale or range used for this calculation.

    Arm/Group Description Those randomized to the study arm will receive a dose of IVIG 1 gram/kg at 12 hours post-cardiopulmonary bypass. This is a one time only dose. IVIG: Those randomized to the study arm will receive a one time dose of IVIG at 12 our post-Cardiopulmonary bypass. This is significantly early than our current standard of care. Subject's randomized into the placebo arm of the study will receive a volume of normal saline that is comparative to that if they were to receive IVIG. This will be at 12 hours post-cardiopulmonary bypass. This volume is to ensure blinding of study drug. Placebo: If the subject is randomized to the placebo group they will receive a volume of normal saline that is equivalent to the volume of IVIG to be administered based on their weight.

This will be at 12 hours post-cardiopulmonary bypass. This volume is to ensure blinding of study drug. Placebo: If the subject is randomized to the placebo group they will receive a volume of normal saline that is equivalent to the volume of IVIG to be administered based on their weight.
