About this study

Official title: Biomarker Guided Intervention to Prevent Development of Acute Kidney Injury in High-risk Surgical Patients

This study evaluates the impact of a biomarked guided intervention on the development of acute kidney injury in high risk surgical patients. Eligible patients are screened for marker of tubular stress in the urine; if patient specific results are above a pre-defined cutoff they are randomized into a standard care group or an interventional group in which patients receive intensified volume therapy.

Read the detailed description

This study evaluates the impact of a biomarked guided intervention on the development of acute kidney injury in high risk surgical patients.Used markers have been identified as markers of tubular stress and have been validated in previous studies with more than 1500 patients. The advantage of a biomarker guided approach is the saving of time for the diagnosis a developing acute kidney injury (AKI) in high risk surgical patients, since clinical signs of AKI (rise in creatinine/decline of estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR), decline of diuresis). If used biomarkers are above a predefined cutoff within < 4 hours after surgery, patients are randomized in to a standard care population receiving treatment in accordance with Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines. In the intervention population patients receive individual volume therapy (= balanced electrolyte solution (Ionosteril)) (1,25 ml/kg bw up to 5 ml/kg bw for 6 hours). Degree of volume therapy is estimated by several predifined parameters, e.g. central venous pressure (CVP).

standard carePlacebo comparatorPatients in the standard care population receive - if biomarkers are elevated -treatment of AKI in accordance with KDIGO 2012 guidelines
Receives: Procedure: Ionosteril
interventional careActive comparatorPatients in the interventional population receive - if biomarkers are elevated - individualized treatment/volume substitution (balanced electrolyte solution = Ionosteril; 1,25-5 ml/kg/bw/6 hours) ) on the basis of predefined criteria
Receives: Procedure: Ionosteril

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence and severity of AKI in both group

    incidence and severity of AKI according to AKI network definition within 90 days will be monitored

    Measured: 90 days

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. need for renal replacement therapy,

    Number of participants with a need for renal replacement therapy (defined as dialysis within 90 days)

    Measured: 90 days

  2. length of ICU stay

    overall length of ICU stay

    Measured: 90 days

  3. length of hospital stay

    overall length of ICU stay

    Measured: 90 days

  4. ICU and hospital costs

    to account for resulting costs, ICU and hospital cost of the standard care and the interventional patient population are monitored

    Measured: 90 days

  5. incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD)

    Investigators want to see if there are any differences on resulting renal function - different stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD I-V) as a consequence of the performed therapy: standard care accoring to KDIGO guidelines versus interventional care

    Measured: 90 days

  6. death

    overall mortality

    Measured: 90 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ionosteril in people with Acute Kidney Injury, run by University Hospital Regensburg at 1 site in Germany.

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 0 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 May 2017. 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 Germany. 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.

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 and severity of AKI in both group (time frame: 90 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 5 May 2017.
