Trial summary

Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in 40% of children following heart surgery. Serum creatinine (Scr) is a late biomarker of AKI, rising 24-48 hours after surgery. Thus, for medicines excreted in the urine, AKI could potentially lead to toxic levels in the blood. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: USE OF ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY BIOMARKERS TO PREDICT IMPAIRED MILRINONE PHARMACOKINETICS IN CHILDREN FOLLOWING CARDIAC SURGERY

Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in 40% of children following heart surgery. Serum creatinine (Scr) is a late biomarker of AKI, rising 24-48 hours after surgery. Thus, for medicines excreted in the urine, AKI could potentially lead to toxic levels in the blood. Urinary biomarkers have the ability to detect AKI earlier. Whether early detection of AKI through urinary biomarkers can predict altered drug levels is unknown.

Milrinone is used to improve heart function after surgery, but accumulates in AKI resulting in low blood pressure. Dose adjustments are not currently possible because of the late rise in SCr, and are based on clinical parameters that may lead to clinically relevant over or under-dosing. Thus, this study will address an important knowledge gap being the first to use elevations of AKI biomarker concentrations to anticipate increased milrinone levels.

Study groups in NCT01966237
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Acute kidney injuryAKI defined by an elevation in urinary AKI biomarkers
No acute kidney injuryNo AKI defined by normal urinary AKI biomarkers

What is being measured

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

  1. Biomarker elevation and milrinone clearance

    The primary outcome variables for Aim 1 are an elevation in urinary AKI biomarkers to predict a 25% reduction in milrinone clearance.

    Measured: By 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Creatinine elevation and milrinone clearance

    The secondary outcome variables for Aim 2 include a 50-75% increase in SCr to predict a 25% reduction in milrinone clearance

    Measured: by 72 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Congenital Heart Disease and Acute Kidney Injury, run by Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati 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 6 inclusion and 6 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 22 Jun 2021. 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 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?

Biomarker elevation and milrinone clearance (time frame: By 24 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 NCT01966237, 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 22 Jun 2021.
