About this study

The investigators will study 2 separate groups:

  • Cardiology patients undergoing invasive coronary angiography +/- PCI (Percutaneous coronary intervention).
  • Patients undergoing CT examination with contrast medium. All patients will receive intravenous (I.V) hydration for 8-12h before and 36 to 48 h after angiography with 0.45% saline 100ml/h.

All patients will receive oral N-acetyl cysteine 1200 mg twice daily, a day before, on the day of the angiography and for another 48 hours.

In addition, patients will be assigned to receive oral pentoxyphylline (P group) or placebo (C - control group) tablets 3 times a day one day before, on the day of the procedure and for another 48 hours.

Baseline Serum Creatinine (S.Cr) levels in will be taken before angiography and two days after angiography. Radio-contrast nephropathy is defined, in this study, as increase in serum ≥ 25 % of baseline after injection of the radio-contrast agent. Pentoxyfylline is an orally active haemorheological agent for the treatment of peripheral vascular disease, cerebrovascular disease and a number of other conditions involving a defective regional microcirculation. Pentoxyfylline acts primarily by increasing red blood cell deformability, by reducing blood viscosity and by decreasing the potential for platelet aggregation and thrombus formation (mechanism unclear). Pentoxyfylline has also proven to have a significant anti inflammatory effect as well as anti oxidant effect, mechanisms considered to be important patho-physiological causes of contrast induced nephropathy.

Read the detailed description

Impairment of renal function following exposure to intravenous radio-graphic contrast materials is the third major cause of renal hospital acquired renal dysfunction. Renal dysfunction occurs most often in patients with chronic renal failure and or patients with diabetes mellitus and contributes to the morbidity and mortality. Previous research work proved that the use volume expansion with N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is superior to volume expiation alone to prevent renal impairment due to radio-contrast5. NAC a potent anti oxidant may prevent CIN by stopping direct oxidative tissue damage and by improving renal hemodynamics.Pentoxyfylline has also proven to have a significant anti inflammatory effect as well as anti oxidant effect.Preangiographic and the highest post-angiographic values of Creatinine and eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) will be recorded. Levels of the biomarker Neutrophil - gelatinase - associated lipocalin (NGAL) will be tested randomly in 49 patients p as a biomarker for contrast induced nephropathy. Blood serology for NGAL will be drown from patients before the procedure and 2 hours after angiography.

What is being measured

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

  1. The purpose of the study is to examine the potential renal protective effect of pentoxyphylline in high-risk patients undergoing angiography

    The difference between preangiographic and postangiographic values (∆) for S.Cr and eGFR will be calculated and compared between groups. Baseline Serum Creatinine (S.Cr) levels in will be taken before angiography and levels of the biomarker Neutrophil - gelatinase - associated lipocalin (NGAL) will be tested randomly in 49 patients.contrast induced nephropathy.

    Comparison of the ∆ between the preangiographic and postangiographic values for S.Cr and eGFR will be performed between the groups.

    Measured: one year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The purpose of the study is to examine the potential renal protective effect of pentoxyphylline in diabetic patients undergoing angiography

    Subgroup analysis will be performed for subgroups of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM)

    Measured: one year

  2. The purpose of the study is to examine the potential renal protective effect of pentoxyphylline in patients with elevated base line creatinin level > 2 undergoing angiography

    Subgroup analysis will be performed for subgroups of patients high S.Cr levels before the procedure

    Measured: one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing pentoxyphylline and pentoxiphylline in people with Contrast Induced Nephropathy and Diabetes Mellitus, run by Meir Medical Center.

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 0 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Apr 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

The purpose of the study is to examine the potential renal protective effect of pentoxyphylline in high-risk patients undergoing angiography (time frame: one year). 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 8 Apr 2015.
