Trial summary

Recent studies have shown an increased incidence of renal replacement therapy after the use of Hydroxyethylstarchs (HES) in patients admitted in the intensive care unit. However, studies showing detrimental effects of HES have been conducted in mostly non-surgical subjects. Read more about this study

About this study

Recent studies have shown an increased incidence of renal replacement therapy after the use of Hydroxyethylstarchs (HES) in patients admitted in the intensive care unit. However, studies showing detrimental effects of HES have been conducted in mostly non-surgical subjects. There are very few studies analyzing the effects of HES on renal function after cardiac surgery, a population already at risk of renal dysfunction.

Being tested
Hydroxyethylstarch 6% 130/0.4, standard volume therapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hydroxyethylstarch 6% 130/0.4 and standard volume therapy in people with Kidney Function Tests, run by Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc- Université Catholique de Louvain.

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 1 inclusion and 8 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 3 Dec 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Renal dysfunction based on RIFLE (Risk; Injury; Failure; Loss; End-stage) criteria. (time frame: Up to 45 days). 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 3 Dec 2014.
