About this study

Official title: Remote Ischemic Preconditioning for the Prevention of Contrast-induced Acute Kidney Injury in Diabetic Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is a significant iatrogenic complication of contrast media use associated with prolonged hospitalization, cardiovascular events, persistent kidney damage and increased risk of all-cause mortality. When remote ischemic preconditioning is applied before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the kidneys can be protected against ischemia-reperfusion injury and subsequently CI-AKI. In this randomised controlled trial, diabetic nephropathy patients undergoing PCI as part of their assessment and treatment of cardiovascular disease are randomized to receive RIPC or control sham preconditioning.

Read the detailed description

Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is a significant iatrogenic complication of contrast media use associated with prolonged hospitalization, cardiovascular events, persistent kidney damage and increased risk of all-cause mortality. Diabetes with pre-existing renal disease can increase the risk of CI-AKI. Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is a non-pharmacological strategy inducing transient episodes of ischemia by the occlusion of blood flow in non-target tissue such as a limb, before a subsequent prolonged ischemia-reperfusion injury occurs in a more distant organ. These brief, repeated ischemic episodes in the limb can confer a protection at more remote sites such as the heart, brain, lung, kidney, intestine or skeletal muscle. In a recent pilot study, using RIPC prior to coronary angiography in high risk patients with moderate chronic kidney disease, the authors found that RIPC significantly reduced the incidence of CI-AKI (Er et al Circulation. 2012;126(3),296). We hypothesized that RIPC would be protective as an adjunctive therapy in reducing the incidence of CI-AKI in diabetics with pre-existing CKD. This prospective study was performed to evaluate the efficacy of RIPC for the prevention of CI-AKI among diabetic nephropathy patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.

What participants receive

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

  • Remote ischemic preconditioningProcedure or surgery

    Appropriately sized sphygmomanometer cuff placed around right upper arm; where contraindicated, left arm, with inflation of the cuff up to 200mmHg for 5 minutes, followed by deflation of 5 minutes to allow reperfusion with cycle repeated 3 times.

  • Sham ischemic preconditioningProcedure or surgery

    Appropriately sized sphygmomanometer cuff placed around right upper arm; where contraindicated, left arm, with inflation of the cuff up to 50mmHg for 5 minutes, followed by deflation of 5 minutes to allow reperfusion with cycle repeated 3 times.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of CI-AKI

    defined as a creatinine rise of ≥ 25% or an increase of > 0.5mg/dl from baseline within 48 hours after contrast exposure

    Measured: 48 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Relative change in NGAL levels from baseline

    Defined as a change in serum NGAL value from baseline

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Absolute change in NGAL levels from baseline

    Defined as a change in serum NGAL value from baseline

    Measured: 24 hours

  3. Relative change in serum creatinine from baseline

    Defined as a change in serum value from baseline

    Measured: 72 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Remote ischemic preconditioning in people with Contrast Induced Acute Kidney Injury, run by Ulsan University Hospital 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 6 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 Apr 2019. 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. 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?

Incidence of CI-AKI (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 NCT02329444, 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 3 Apr 2019.
