About this study

Official title: Prevention of Contrast-Induced Nephropathy by Darbepoetin in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the drug that produce red blood cells is effective in the prevention of kidney dysfunction after coronary angiography in patients with chronic kidney disease.

Read the detailed description

Use of radiocontrast agent is inevitable in computed tomography or angiography. However, contrast agent can aggravate kidney function. Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) refers to the clinical situation where decreased kidney function after use of contrast. CIN is the 3rd most common cause of acute kidney injury in the hospitals. There are a lot of reports that death rate is increased in patients with CIN.

Erythropoietin is an agent that treat anemia. It also has been reported to have a tissue-protective effect in the animal experiments.

In this study, we hypothesized that erythropoietin can reduce the incidence of CIN in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing coronary angiography.

What participants receive

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

  • darbepoetin-αDrug

    Also called aranesp

    Infusion of darbepoetin-α 1.5 μg/kg will be performed 1 hour before angiography

  • isotonic salineDrug

    Also called 0.9% NaCl solution

    Infusion of isotonic saline will be performed 1 hour before angiography

Receives: Drug: isotonic saline

What is being measured

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

  1. incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN)

    a greater than 25 percent increase in serum Cr or an absolute increase in serum Cr of 0.5 mg/dL within 48 hours after using the contrast agent

    Measured: 48 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. maximum difference in Cr levels before and after CAG(coronary angiography) or PCI(percutaneous coronary intervention)

    the maximum difference in Cr levels before and after CAG or PCI, the incidence of AKI requiring renal replacement therapy, length of hospital stay, mortality, myocardial infarction, revascularization, and the occurrence of stroke

    Measured: 1 month after the intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing darbepoetin-α and isotonic saline in people with Acute Kidney Injury, run by Seoul National University Bundang Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 2 inclusion and 13 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Nov 2014. 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 South Korea. 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 combined 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.

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 was stopped early (reason given: difficult to enroll targeted participants). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) (time frame: 48 hours). 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 21 Nov 2014.
