About this study

The purpose of the present research study is to investigate the pharmacokinetics, as well as safety, tolerability and pharmacodynamics of different ascending dosing regimens of AP214 in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. AP214, the investigational drug, is being developed to potentially prevent post-surgical kidney injury after thoracic aortic aneurysm repair.

What is being measured

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

  1. To assess in patients the pharmacokinetics of AP214 administered as three 10-minute infusions in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

    Measured: Day 0 to Day 1

  2. To assess the safety and tolerability of AP214, defined as a descriptive analysis of AEs and SAEs (including analysis of severity and relationship to trial drug)

    Measured: Day 0-90

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. To assess effect of AP214 on cardiac surgery induced systemic inflammation o determined by the post-operative peak plasma concentrations of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10, and area under the curve (AUC) for TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10

    Measured: 0-24 hours

  2. To assess effect of AP214 on development of post-surgical acute kidney injury (AKI), where AKI is evaluated by evaluation of serum creatinine values, urine output and renal replacement therapy free days.

    Measured: Day 0 - Day 30

  3. To assess the safety and tolerability of AP214 on standard safety laboratory data

    Measured: Day 0-14

  4. To assess the safety and tolerability of AP214 on vital signs

    Measured: Day 0-90

  5. To assess safety and tolerability of AP214 in terms of mortality by evaluation of overall mortality

    Measured: Day 0-90

  6. To assess the effect of AP214 at an organ level (CNS, heart, lung, and wound healing)as well as systemically.

    Measured: Day 0-90

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AP214 in people with Cardiac Surgery and Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting, run by Action Pharma A/S at 2 sites in Denmark.

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 5 inclusion and 21 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 17 May 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Denmark. 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 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 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?

To assess in patients the pharmacokinetics of AP214 administered as three 10-minute infusions in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. (time frame: Day 0 to Day 1). 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?
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 17 May 2011.
