Trial summary

Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI) is a major complication with adverse outcomes after contrast media injection. Although the risk of developing CIAKI is low in patients with normal renal function, it is dramatically higher in patients with conditions such as diabetes mellitus (DM) or chronic kidney disease… Read more about this study

About this study

Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI) is a major complication with adverse outcomes after contrast media injection. Although the risk of developing CIAKI is low in patients with normal renal function, it is dramatically higher in patients with conditions such as diabetes mellitus (DM) or chronic kidney disease (CKD). More recently, our data showed that contrast agents can induce endothelial dysfunction partially via free radicals in diabetes. Therefore, strategies to prevent CIAKI and endothelial dysfunction in DM patients with CKD are urgently needed. Alpha-lipoic acid and its reduced form, dihydrolipoate, are potent antioxidants. We hypothesized that alpha lipoic acid can prevent the contrast-induced acute kidney injury and endothelial dysfunction in type 2 diabetes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Alpha lipoic acid in people with Acute Kidney Injury and The Changes of Plasma Creatinine, run by Xiang Guang-da at 1 site in China.

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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Nov 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 China. 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 Xiang Guangda, MD (+8602768878410, Guangda64@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Contrast induced acte kidney injury (time frame: 6 months). 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?
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 8 Nov 2013.
