The study will investigate the role of NSAIDs in the development of AKI in patients undergoing high-risk abdominal or thoracic surgery. The investigators hypothesize that the use of new urinary biomarkers will allow earlier detection of AKI than the current gold standard, i.e. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 21 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Subjects will be identified by surgeon and by length of procedure. Patients presenting to the Anesthesia Preoperative Clinic who are scheduled to have surgery lasting longer than 4 hours by certain surgeons, and who are anticipated to recover postoperatively in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit will be given a recruitment/consent form explaining the study. The study will then be explained to potential patients by a member of the research team to determine recruitment eligibility and willingness to participate.

Who may be able to join

  • age ≥ 21 (per manufacturer's instructions on the Nephrocheck kit)
  • history of hypertension, whether medically treated or untreated
  • scheduled for Anesthesia preoperative clinic visit
  • scheduled to undergo prolonged intra-abdominal or intra-thoracic surgeries (defined as scheduled intraoperative time ≥ 4h). Intra-abdominal surgeries will include colorectal surgery, massive ventral hernia repairs, hepatobiliary surgery and gynecologic-oncology surgery. Intra-thoracic surgeries will include video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS)-assisted segmentectomy and lobectomies, as well as mediastinal mass excisions.
  • will be anticipated to be admitted to the ICU for a minimum of 2-3 days post-operatively

Who cannot join

  • history of chronic kidney as defined by estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) <90
  • patient taking NSAIDs on a daily basis
  • patients with a reported allergy or intolerance to NSAIDs

About this study

Official title: Acute Kidney Injury and Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs in Patients Undergoing High-risk Abdominal or Thoracic Surgery

The study will investigate the role of NSAIDs in the development of AKI in patients undergoing high-risk abdominal or thoracic surgery. The investigators hypothesize that the use of new urinary biomarkers will allow earlier detection of AKI than the current gold standard, i.e. changes in serum creatinine and/or urine output.

Read the detailed description

This study will be designed as a prospective observational trial. After obtaining Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval, patients will be recruited and consented from the Anesthesia Pre-Operative Clinic. On the day of surgery, baseline urine samples will be obtained at the initial insertion of the Foley catheter, after induction of anesthesia. Urine samples will also be collected from the Foley catheter in the immediate post-operative period shortly after the patient is admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Urine samples will continue to be collected for 72 hours post-operatively, at 0600 (6am) and 1800 (6pm) each day from the indwelling Foley catheter, which is standard of care in the ICU. Urine samples will be labeled and stored as per the instructions provided in a commercially available kit; six urine samples total will be collected and stored per patient. The electronic medical record (EMR) will be reviewed to determine whether the patient received ketorolac, ibuprofen, or no NSAIDs intra-operatively and postoperatively (within 72 hours of the beginning of surgery). Daily serum creatinine measurements and hourly urine output, which are standards of care in the ICU, will be obtained from the EMR as well.

AKI will be diagnosed and staged according to KDIGO criteria, which are based on changes in creatinine and urine output. In all patients with "KDIGO-diagnosed AKI" and in a matched non-AKI group, we will also compare the time course of new urinary biomarkers, including but not limited to uNGAL, to that of serum creatinine and urine output. We will match patients according to their demographics as well as clinical characteristics, including co-morbidities, type of surgery and anesthesia technique. Comparing the time course of current clinical markers (serum creatinine and urine output) with that of new urinary biomarkers will allow us to assess their role in guiding future preventive interventions.

What is being measured

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

  1. Acute Kidney Injury

    AKI defined by change in serum creatinine from baseline and change in urine output (KDIGO criteria)

    Measured: 72 hours post-operatively

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Urine biomarkers in AKI detection

    Our secondary analysis will investigate the performance of new FDA approved urine biomarkers including, but not limited to, uNGAL (urinary neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin) in AKI detection.

    Measured: 72 hours post-operatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Kidney Injury, run by Milton S. Hershey Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

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 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Apr 2018. 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 States. 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 was stopped early (reason given: unable to recruit sufficient patients to satisfy study protocols). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Acute Kidney Injury (time frame: 72 hours post-operatively). 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 NCT02553174, which also lists 20 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 2 Apr 2018.
