  • A clinical diagnosis of ATN due to hemodynamic or toxic etiologies. ATN is defined as acute renal failure occurring in a setting of acute ischemic or nephrotoxic injury with oliguria (average <20 mL/hr) for >6-12 hours or: an increase in serum creatinine ≥2 mg/dL (≥1.5 mg/dL in females) over a period of ≤4 days. (Note: Prerenal, hepatorenal, vascular, interstitial, glomerular, and obstructive etiologies are excluded on clinical or other diagnostic grounds.)
  • At least one non-renal organ failure (modified SOFA organ system score >2), as defined in Appendix A or presence (proven or suspected) of sepsis as defined in Appendix B.

  • Non-renal organ transplantation within six months of screening date.
  • Presence of preexisting chronic renal failure prior to this episode of ARF. Preexisting chronic renal failure is defined as baseline serum creatinine >2.5 mg/dL (men), or >2.0 mg/dL (women).
Show all 23Show fewer
  • ARF occurring in the setting of burns, obstructive uropathy, allergic interstitial nephritis, acute or rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, vasculitis, hemolytic-uremic syndrome, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), malignant hypertension, scleroderma renal crisis, atheroembolism, functional or surgical nephrectomy, hepatorenal syndrome, cyclosporine or tacrolimus nephrotoxicity.
  • Metastatic malignancy which is actively being treated or may be treated by chemotherapy or radiation during the subsequent three month period after study therapy
  • Chronic immunosuppression (e.g., AIDS, chronic glucocorticoid therapy >20 mg/day prednisone equivalent on a chronic basis, or chemotherapy). The acute use of glucocorticoids is permissible
  • Severe liver failure as documented by a Child-Pugh Liver Failure Score >12.
  • Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) status.
  • Comfort measures only.
  • Patient is moribund or for whom full supportive care is not indicated.
  • Patient not expected to survive 28 days because of an irreversible medical condition.
  • Any medical condition that the Investigator thinks may interfere with the study objectives.
  • Physician refusal.
  • Patient pregnant.
  • Patient is a prisoner.
  • Pre-morbid weight >128.5 kg.
  • More than one hemodialysis treatment or longer than 24 hours since starting CRRT.
  • Platelet count <30,000/mm3.
  • Concurrent enrollment in another interventional clinical trial. Patients enrolled in clinical trials where only measurements and or samples are taken (NO TEST DEVICE OR DRUG USED) are allowed to participate.
  • Use of any other Investigational drug or device within the previous 30 days.

About this study

Official title: A Multi-Center Pilot Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of A Selective Cytopheretic Device (SCD) Treatments In Patients With Acute Renal Failure (ARF)

The purpose of this protocol is to evaluate the safety of a selective cytopheretic device (SCD) in patients that are on continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) for acute renal failure (ARF).

Read the detailed description

Acute renal failure is a condition where the kidneys are not capable of producing adequate urine. Therefore, another way to remove waste from the body is needed to hopefully allow time for the kidneys to heal. One method of removing waste from the body is called Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) or variations of that therapy. This study will evaluate the safety of the device while it is connected to the CRRT tubing for up to 7 days. Patients will be followed up until day 60 following the treatment.

What participants receive

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

  • Selective cytopheretic device (SCD)Device

    The selective cytopheretic device (SCD) is comprised of tubing, connectors and a hemofilter cartridge. The device is connected in series to a commercially available Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) device. Blood from the CRRT circuit is diverted after the CRRT hemofilter through to the extra capillary space (ECS) of the SCD. Blood circulates through this space and is returned to the patient via the venous return line of the CRRT circuit. Regional citrate anticoagulation is used for the entire CRRT and SCD blood circuits.

What is being measured

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

  1. 60 Day Mortality

    Measured: Day 60 following treatment end

  2. 60 Day Renal Recovery

    The criteria used to measure Renal Recovery requires the patient to be dependent free of CRRT and/or chronic dialysis.

    Measured: Day 60 following treatment end

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Selective cytopheretic device (SCD) in people with Acute Renal Failure, run by SeaStar Medical at 7 sites 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 9 inclusion and 23 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 31 Mar 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites 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 9 Mar 2022). 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?

60 Day Mortality (time frame: Day 60 following treatment end). 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 31 Mar 2022.
