About this study

Official title: Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy in the Setting of Orthotopic Liver Transplant: A Randomized Trial

To evaluate the efficacy of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) during orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) in clearing excess solutes and improving acid-base parameters. The investigators hypothesize that the use of intra-operative CRRT in OLT recipients is associated with increased solute removal and improved acid-base statues when compared to controls who do not receive CRRT

What participants receive

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

  • Renal replacement therapyProcedure or surgery

    Liver transplant recipients receiving continuous renal replacement therapy for duration of liver transplant surgery.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Renal replacement therapyExperimentalLiver transplant recipients who receive continuous renal replacement therapy intra-operatively.
Receives: Procedure: Renal replacement therapy
No CRRTActive comparatorThis arm consists of standard of care without CRRT in the OR for OLT
Receives: Procedure: Renal replacement therapy

What is being measured

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

  1. Solute Clearance

    To compare the clearance of solutes (ie. potassium, lactate, creatinine and blood urea nitrogen) by CRRT in renally impaired OLT recipients to OLT recipients who do not receive CRRT

    Measured: Intra-operative time

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Renal function and patient outcomes

    To compare long-term maintenance of renal function (12 months) and other health outcomes in OLT recipients who received CRRT versus OLT recipients who did not receive OLT

    Measured: 1 year post-operatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Renal replacement therapy in people with Acute Kidney Injury and Liver Disease, run by University of Chicago 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 4 inclusion and 2 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 May 2015.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. 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?

Solute Clearance (time frame: Intra-operative time). 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 27 May 2015.
