Trial summary

Children with congenital heart defects often need cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (the "heart-lung machine"). Approximately 35 to 50% of these children will have "acute kidney injury," or damage to the kidneys, after the procedure. We currently have few medications to prevent this kidney injury.

About this study

Official title: A Randomized Placebo Controlled Trial of Aminophylline to Prevent Acute Kidney Injury in Children After Cardiac Surgery With Cardiopulmonary Bypass

Children with congenital heart defects often need cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (the "heart-lung machine"). Approximately 35 to 50% of these children will have "acute kidney injury," or damage to the kidneys, after the procedure. We currently have few medications to prevent this kidney injury. The hypothesis of this study is that giving aminophylline after heart surgery can decrease the acute kidney injury.

Read the detailed description

Patients are randomized to receive aminophylline or placebo for 72 hours, in a blinded fashion. Serum theophylline levels monitor for safety of aminophylline dose. Goal theophylline levels is 5-7 mcg/ml. Laboratory results will be faxed directly to the pharmacy who will adjust subsequent aminophylline dosing to maintain appropriate theophylline levels. Urine output and serum creatinine levels will be monitored to assess acute kidney injury. Serum Neutrophil Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) levels will also be monitored.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Aminophylline in people with Acute Kidney Injury, run by Stanford University at 1 site 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 2 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 8 Jun 2015. 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 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. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Jun 2015). 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?

Acute Kidney Injury Measured by Kidney Diseases: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) AKI Serum Creatinine Criteria (time frame: 5 days). 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 Jun 2015.
