Trial summary

Acute kidney injury is a major complication of cardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Hemolysis and rhabdomyolysis frequently occur during CPB. Hemolysis leads to an increase in free hemoglobin, whereas rhabdomyolysis leads to an increase in myoglobin. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Inhibition of Lipid Peroxidation During Cardiopulmonary Bypass

Acute kidney injury is a major complication of cardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Hemolysis and rhabdomyolysis frequently occur during CPB. Hemolysis leads to an increase in free hemoglobin, whereas rhabdomyolysis leads to an increase in myoglobin. Free plasma hemoglobin and myoglobin have been shown to be independent predictors of the acute kidney injury that results from CPB. When these hemeproteins are released into the plasma, they undergo redox cycling, generating radical species that initiate lipid peroxidation and a cascade of oxidative damage to cellular membranes, notably in the kidney. F2-isoprostanes and isofurans are sensitive and specific markers of oxidative stress in vivo, and are increased after CPB, particularly in those patients with acute kidney injury. Acetaminophen inhibits the lipid peroxidation catalyzed by myoglobin and hemoglobin. Moreover, in an animal model of rhabdomyolysis-induced kidney injury, acetaminophen significantly attenuated the decrease in creatinine clearance compared to control. The current proposal tests the central hypothesis that acetaminophen will attenuate the lipid peroxidation associated with the hemolysis and rhabdomyolysis that occur in patients undergoing CPB. Demonstration that acetaminophen inhibits the lipid peroxidation resulting from CPB would provide a rationale for a prospective randomized trial to test the hypothesis that acetaminophen will reduce the acute kidney injury that results from CPB.

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 14 Jan 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?

Plasma Isofuran Concentrations (time frame: 24 hours). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01366976, which also lists 3 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 27 Jan 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
