About this study

Randomized study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nafamostat mesilate use during continuous renal replacement therapy in acute kidney injury patients at a high risk of bleeding.

Read the detailed description

Patients were randomly assigned to the nafamostat mesilate (NM) group or the no anticoagulant (NA) group. In patients assigned to the NM group, NM (20mg/h) was used for maintenance anticoagulation. Whereas, in patients assigned to the NA group, normal saline (2mL/h) was infused for continuous renal replacement therapy.

Being tested
Nafamostat mesilate, Normal saline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Nafamostat mesilate and Normal saline in people with Acute Kidney Injury, run by Kyungpook National University Hospital.

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 3 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 23 Jun 2015. 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. 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?

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?

Number of filters used per hour (time frame: 24 months). 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 NCT02478242, 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 23 Jun 2015.
