A Study to Evaluate the Use of SOMVC001 (GALA) Vascular Conduit Preservation Solution in Patients Undergoing CABG (STEPS) (GALA)
Coronary Artery Disease
About this trial
This is an interventional prevention trial for Coronary Artery Disease
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patient is to undergo primary, multi-vessel CABG with at least two saphenous vein grafts (SVGs)
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patient has in-situ Internal Mammary Artery graft(s) (IMA) only, (no SVG or free arterial grafts)
- Patients has had prior CABG or planned concomitant valve surgery or aortic aneurysm repair.
Sites / Locations
- Montreal Heart Institute

SOMVC001 Vascular Conduit Solution
Standard of Care Heparin-dosed saline
Each patient will serve as his/her own control because each patient will have two graft segments with one segment immersed in SOMVC001 and the other in heparin dosed saline (Standard solution). Patients will be randomized using a simple random sample allocation scheme. At the time of randomization, patients will be assigned an allocation number. Each randomized patient will be implanted with two SVGs, alternating Target Region A (Circumflex or Diagonal) and Target Region B (Right Coronary System or Diagonal) and alternating (proximal vs. distal) segments of the harvested SV. A randomization schedule will be developed to ensure appropriate randomization allocation of the harvested vein segment being grafted to the targeted regions.
