About this study

Official title: Preventive Effect of the PRetreatment With pItavastatiN on Contrast-Induced Nephropathy in Patients With RenaL Dysfunction UndErgoing Coronary Angiography/Intervention (PRINCIPLE-II Study)

Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a well-recognized complication of radiographic contrast administration and is associated with increased short- and long-term mortality. Previous strategies including forced diuresis with diuretics or mannitol, intravenous administration of fenoldopam or dobutamine, and postprocedure hemodialysis to prevent CIN have been largely unsuccessful. In addition, the use of N-acetylcysteine to prevent CIN has yielded conflicting outcomes.

A review of a large insurance database and retrospective study have shown that statins therapy is associated with a lower incidence of CIN after percutaneous coronary intervention. The preventive effect of statins on CIN may be attributed to direct pleiotropic effects on the vascular wall such as improvement of endothelial dysfunction, anti-inflammatory or anti-oxidative effect. However, recent randomized trial could not demonstrate the preventive effect of statin on CIN in patients with chronic kidney disease.

Thus, we will investigate the preventive effect of pitavastatin on CIN in patient with renal dysfunction undergoing coronary angiography or intervention.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy

    Contrast-induced nephropathy is defined as either a greater than 25% increase of serum creatinine or an absolute increase in serum creatinine of 0.5 mg/dL after coronary angiography or intervention.

    Measured: 48 hours

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Peak level of serum creatinine

    Peak level of serum creatinine within less than 48 hours after coronary angiography or intervention

    Measured: 48 hours

  2. serum cystatin-C level

    Absolute level of serum cystatin-C 24 hours after coronary angiography/intervention and Difference level of serum cystatin-C before and after coronary angiography/intervention

    Measured: 24 hours

  3. serum neutrophil-gelatinase-associated lipocalin(NGAL) level

    Absolute level of serum NGAL level 4 hours after coronary angiography/intervention and difference level before and after coronary angiography/intervention

    Measured: 4 hours

  4. Length of hospital stay

    Measured: an expected average of 5 weeks

  5. Clinical events

    Composites of death, myocardial infarction, stroke or need for dialysis therapy

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Pitavastatin in people with Contrast-induced Nephropathy, run by Gachon University Gil Medical Center 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 4 inclusion and 18 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jun 2013. 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 phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Woong Chul Kang, M.D. (+82-32-460-3663, kangwch@gilhospital.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (time frame: 48 hours). 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 NCT01871792, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 7 Jun 2013.
