Official Title: Cardiopulmonary Bypass-Induced Lymphocytopenia and the Potential Effects of Protease Inhibitor in the Perioperative Period

Brief Summary: In previous studies, 90% of patients who underwent elective cardiopulmonary bypass procedure manifested CD4 counts of less than 500 cells/microliter in the immediate (day 1) post-operative period. This study will investigate whether or not Nelfinavir increases those CD4 counts in the post-operative period.

Detailed Summary: See Brief Summary.
Sponsor: Mayo Clinic

Current Primary Outcome: Proportion of Nelfinavir patients v. proportion of placebo patients who have CD4 counts of less than 500 cells/microliter [ Time Frame: Six days. ]

Original Primary Outcome: Proportion of Nelfinavir patients v. porportion of placebo patients who have CD4 counts of less than 500 cells/microliter

Current Secondary Outcome:

  • Changes in quantitative measure of inflammatory markers [ Time Frame: Six days. ]
  • Changes in clinical outcomes. [ Time Frame: Six days. ]


Original Secondary Outcome:

  • Changes if CD4 and CD8 T-cell lymphocyte apoptosis between groups
  • Changes in quantitative measure of inflammatory markers
  • Changes in clinical outcomes
