About this study

Official title: Remote Ischemic Preconditioning Effects on Kidney Function in Patients Receiving Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Patients with impaired renal function are at elevated risk for development of acute kidney injury (AKI). AKI is associated with increased risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Effective AKI prevention strategies are needed. Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is a novel and successful strategy to attenuate contrast medium induced AKI in patients undergoing elective coronary angiography.

The retrospective RenPro-TAVI Trial was designed to test the hypothesis whether remote ischemic preconditioning might attenuate kidney injury in patients receiving transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).

Patients with impaired renal function undergoing TAVI will be evaluated in respect whether they received remote ischemic preconditioning before the procedure or not. This study will give insight if RIPC might be beneficial in these patients.

What participants receive

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

  • remote ischemic preconditioningProcedure or surgery

    Also called intermittent arm ischemia through 4 cycles of 5-minute inflation and 5-minute deflation of a blood pressure cuff

Study groups in NCT01925235
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Controlpatients with impaired renal function and a high risk of developing acute kidney injury undergoing TAVI and receiving standard care including pre-hydration 12 hours prior and 12 hours post procedure
RIPCpatients with impaired renal function and a high risk of developing acute kidney injury undergoing TAVI and receiving standard care including pre-hydration 12 hours prior and 12 hours post procedure plus ischemic preconditioning (intermittent arm ischemia through 4 cycles of 5-minute inflation and 5-minute deflation of a blood pressure cuff)
Receives: Procedure: remote ischemic preconditioning

What is being measured

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

  1. change in parameters determining renal function and injury

    serum creatinine, cystatin c, urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL)

    Measured: 48 hours after TAVI

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. acute kidney injury

    increase in serum creatinine ≥25% or ≥0.5 mg/dL above baseline at 48 hours after TAVI

    Measured: 48 hours after TAVI

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Renal Function and Renal Injury, run by University of Cologne at 1 site in Germany.

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 4 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 19 Aug 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 Germany. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

change in parameters determining renal function and injury (time frame: 48 hours after TAVI). 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 NCT01925235, which also lists 2 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 19 Aug 2013.
