About this study

Official title: The Effect of Regional Citrate Anti-coagulation on the Coagulation System in Critically Ill Patients Receiving Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy for Acute Kidney Injury - an Observational Cohort Study

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of regional citrate anti-coagulation on different pathways of the coagulation system in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury. This will form the basis for future studies where the investigators plan to focus on patients with premature circuit clotting despite optimal post-filtrate ionised calcium parameters.

Read the detailed description

Purpose of clinical trial:

To evaluate the effect of regional citrate anti-coagulation on different pathways of the coagulation system in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury.

Patient population:

critically ill patients with acute kidney injury requiring citrate-based continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT)

Primary objective:

Changes from baseline in a number of measures of coagulability (platelet count; Prothrombin Time; Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time ratio; fibrinogen; d-dimers; Thrombin generation assay; Clot lysis; platelet function analysis 100) in both the blood within the patient's systemic circulation and the CRRT circuit over the course of 72 hours of regional anticoagulation with citrate.

Number of Subjects/Patients:

12 patients with complete data.

Trial Design:

Prospective non-interventional study.

Endpoints:

Change from baseline in a number of measures of coagulability.

Main Inclusion Criteria:

Adult intensive care patients undergoing CRRT with citrate regional anti-coagulation for AKI.

Being tested
CRRT

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes of parameters of coagulability during Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) with citrate anticoagulation

    Changes of coagulation parameters (Full Blood Count, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time ratio, fibrinogen, d-dimer, thrombin generation, clot lysis and platelet function analysis) during citrate-based CRRT

    Measured: 72 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Determination of baseline coagulation status before initiation of citrate-based CRRT

    Determination of parameters of coagulation [Full Blood Count (FBC), prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time ratio (APTTr), fibrinogen, D-dimers, antithrombin activity, protein C activity, free Protein S antigen, resistance to activated protein C screening, homocysteine, prothrombin 20210 mutation test, factor VIII level, Von Willebrand factor antigen, Dilute Russell's Viper Venom Time, dilute activated partial thromboplastin time, anticardiolipin antibodies, anti-beta 2 glycoprotein I antibodies, thrombin generation assay, clot lysis, platelet function 1+2, Thrombin-Antithrombin and platelet function analysis] before initiation of citrate-based CRRT

    Measured: Before initiation of CRRT

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Kidney Failure, run by Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 3 inclusion and 13 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 Oct 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 United Kingdom. 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?

Changes of parameters of coagulability during Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) with citrate anticoagulation (time frame: 72 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 NCT02486614, which also lists 2 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 Oct 2019.
