Trial summary

We hypothesize that a nutritional supplementation with higher than standard protein content (2.0 gm/Kg/day vs 1.4 gm/Kg/day) will result in improved whole-body net protein balance when administered to critically ill patients with acute renal failure (ARF). Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Adults ≥ 18 years of age admitted to the intensive care unit
  • New onset acute renal failure (ARF) or ARF superimposed on chronic kidney disease
  • ARF will be defined by a sustained (over 24 hours) increase in serum creatinine > 0.5 mg/dl from baseline
  • Patients will be recruited for the study within 3-5 days following establishment of ARF

Who cannot join

  • Institutionalized patient
  • Previous kidney transplant
  • Pregnancy
  • Unable to obtain consent from subject or legally recognized representative
  • ARF from urinary tract obstruction or a volume responsive pre-renal state.
  • Liver Failure
Show all 9Show fewer
  • Recent cerebrovascular accident (CVA)
  • Coagulopathy defined as: Platelets < 50, PT > 20, INR > 2.0 if the patient requires the placement of an arterial or venous catheter; if the patient does not require the placement of an arterial or venous catheter for the study, coagulopathy will not be a basis for exclusion.
  • Life expectancy < 48 hours

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • TPN nutritional supplementDrug

    intravenous administration of nutritional supplement for 4 hours at a dosage of 30 kcal/kg/day, in the form of lipids, carbohydrates and protein; the non-protein calories are comprised of lipids (30%) and carbohydrates (70%)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing TPN nutritional supplement in people with Acute Renal Failure, run by Vanderbilt University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Sep 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: lack of enrollment). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

whole-body net protein balance (time frame: 10 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Sep 2010.
