What participants receive

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

  • PlaceboDrug

    Also called saline

    Saline continuous infusion during cardiopulmonary by pass at 1 ml/h

  • FenoldopamDrug

    Also called corlopam

    Fenoldopam continuous infusion at 1 mcg/kg/min during cardiopulmonary bypass. Infusion preparation is mad in order to match the rate 1 ml/h of placebo infusion.

What is being measured

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

  1. Reduction of urinary and/or serum levels of biomarker NGAL in treated group versus controls

    Measured: End of surgery and 12 hours postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Reduction of urinary and/or serum levels of cystatin C, increase of diuresis and improvement of perfusion markers in treated group versus controls

    Measured: End of surgery and 12 hours postoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Fenoldopam in people with Kidney Failure, Acute, run by Bambino Gesù Hospital and Research Institute at 1 site in Italy.

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 1 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 28 Jun 2012. 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 Italy. 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 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?

Reduction of urinary and/or serum levels of biomarker NGAL in treated group versus controls (time frame: End of surgery and 12 hours postoperatively). 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 NCT00982527, which also lists 4 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 28 Jun 2012.
