Trial summary

The prevention of contrast-mediated nephropathy (CMN), which accounts for considerable morbidity and mortality, remains a vexing problem. Contrast induced renal vasoconstriction is believed to play a pivotal role in the CMN mechanism. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Iloprost for Prevention of Contrast-Mediated Nephropathy in High-Risk Patients With Preexisting Renal Dysfunction Undergoing a Coronary Procedure

The prevention of contrast-mediated nephropathy (CMN), which accounts for considerable morbidity and mortality, remains a vexing problem. Contrast induced renal vasoconstriction is believed to play a pivotal role in the CMN mechanism. The aim of this study is to examine the efficacy of the prostacyclin analogue iloprost (dose 1ng/kg/min) in preventing CMN in high-risk patients undergoing a coronary procedure.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. CMN is defined as an absolute increase of serum creatinine concentration of at least 0.5 mg/dl

    Measured: 2-5 days after the procedure

  2. or CMN is defined as a relative rise of at least 25% from baseline on the follow-up

    Measured: blood sample drawn at 2-5 days after the procedure

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Differences in the progression of serum creatinine concentrations and creatinine clearance among the study groups

    Measured: 2-5 days after the procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Iloprost in people with Renal Insufficiency, Chronic and Coronary Angiography, run by Onassis Cardiac Surgery Centre at 1 site in Greece.

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 1 inclusion and 8 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Aug 2007. 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 Greece. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined 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.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

CMN is defined as an absolute increase of serum creatinine concentration of at least 0.5 mg/dl (time frame: 2-5 days after the procedure). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00345501, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 24 Aug 2007.
