Acute Kidney FailureAKINCT00673244
Protocol to Assess the Severity of Acute Kidney Injury
A study testing Furosemide in people with Acute Kidney Failure, run by George Washington University at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
The principal objective is to safely determine if we can identify the severity of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) early in the course of the disease. Once enrolled, we will draw blood and urine for relevant biomarkers. Our goal is to validate if any of these biomarkers can predict the course of AKI (recovery v. RRT v. death) Read more about this study

About this study
The principal objective is to safely determine if we can identify the severity of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) early in the course of the disease. Once enrolled, we will draw blood and urine for relevant biomarkers. Our goal is to validate if any of these biomarkers can predict the course of AKI (recovery v. RRT v. death)
Read the detailed description
AKI is a very common disease in the intensive care unit. However, despite advances in supportive care, patients with AKI carry a high mortality rate (50% to 70%). The established AKI affects nearly 5 percent of hospitalized persons and as many as 15 percent of critically ill patients. Currently, there are no FDA approved therapeutic agents for the treatment of AKI.
Retrospective studies suggest that the early initiation of renal replacement therapy (RRT) improves outcome. Many clinicians tend to take a "wait and see" approach because they do not want to dialyze a patient who is destined to recover renal function without the need for RRT. Therefore, it is vitally important to know early in the course which patients with AKI are likely to progress to RRT.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
FurosemideDrug
Also called Lasix
One dose: 1 mg/kg (iv)if the patient is furosemide naive or 1.5 mg/kg (iv) if patient is not furosemide naive.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Furosemide in people with Acute Kidney Failure, run by George Washington 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 12 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 18 Oct 2022. 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.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Dec 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Urine Volume (time frame: Time from furosemide administration to 6 hours after furosemide administration). 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 NCT00673244, which also lists 10 linked publications.
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 18 Oct 2022.
