About this study

Official title: Influence of Fenoldopam and Ketanserin on Function and Kidney Injury Parameters in Patients With Increased Risk of Acute Kidney Failure After Cardiac Surgery

The purpose of the study is to compare the effect of fenoldopam and ketanserin on kidney function preservation in patients at high risk for renal failure after cardiac surgery. Acute, oliguric renal failure develops in up to 2% of patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Some of them require renal replacement therapy and despite that mortality in this group exceeds 30-60%. The investigators await that the use of fenoldopam and/or ketanserin may decrease the rate of severe renal failure.

Read the detailed description

Informed, signed consent will be obtained from the patient before surgery. In patients with acute consciousness disorders, the consent will be obtained from a legal representative and confirmed by the local court - accordingly to Polish legacy.

Patients willing to participate into the study and fulfilling at least one of two inclusion criteria will be randomly assigned to one of the three study groups. The treatment will be applied for 24 hours.

Intention to treat analysis will include comparison for differences of continuous, homogeneous distributed data with use of parametric tests, parametric or inhomogeneous distributed data - with use of nonparametric tests. The treatment effect will be assessed by comparison of the odds ratios for primary and secondary outcomes between the groups.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. cystatin C and NGAL in serum

    Measured: after 24 and 48 hours from treatment start

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. β2microglobulin in urine

    Measured: after 24, 48 and 72 hours of treatment

  2. creatinine increase in serum

    Measured: after 24, 48 and 72 hours of treatment

  3. frequency of renal replacement therapy

    Measured: 7 days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing fenoldopam (Corlopam) and ketanserin (Sufrexal) in people with Acute Renal Failure, run by Medical University of Gdansk at 1 site in Poland.

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 3 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 15 Nov 2016. 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 Poland. 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 phase mean?

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 was stopped early (reason given: Main cooperator finished cooperation). 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?

cystatin C and NGAL in serum (time frame: after 24 and 48 hours from treatment start). 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 NCT00557219, 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 15 Nov 2016.
