About this study

Official title: Comparison of Dobutamine Versus Milrinone for Renal Recovery in Patients With Cardiorenal Syndrome-A Prospective Cohort Study in Patients With Acute Decompensated Heart Failure

Heart failure is recognized as one of the most common indications for hospitalization amongst adults aged >65 years in United States with estimated Medicare cost to be 17 billion or more. Chronic heart failure is one of the most life threatening cardiovascular disorder thought to affect nearly six million US population with 600,000 new cases every year. The heart is responsible for perfusion to all vital organs including kidneys and dysfunction in either affects both the vital organs. When dysfunction of heart leads to dysfunction of kidneys or vice versa it is referred to as cardio renal syndrome (CRS). The underlying pathophysiology for CRS has been poorly understood and considered multifactorial. Worsening renal function defined as increase in serum creatinine of >0.3mg/dl from baseline occurs in 20-30% of patients with ADHF and is associated with greater length of hospital stay, hospital readmission and death. A number of interventions have been used including giving diuretics which helps in decongestion and helps the heart pump blood more effectively. Sometimes these therapies are not effective and may even lead to worsening of renal function. In such cases , inotrope agents which increase the contractility of the heart have been used to help pump more blood to vital organs. There have been very few trials assessing the efficacy of these agents for improving kidney function .The investigators aim to assess the renal recovery with two such agents - dobutamine and milrinone in patients with cardiorenal syndrome who are coming with acute decompensated heart failure

Read the detailed description

Heart failure is recognized as one of the most common indications for hospitalization amongst adults aged >65 years in United States with estimated Medicare cost to be 17billion or more. Chronic heart failure is one of the most life threatening cardiovascular disorder thought to affect nearly six million US population with annual death rate being 600,000. Cardiorenal syndrome although not completely understood in its full context - is a term coined for disorder of the heart and kidneys whereby acute or chronic dysfunction of one precipitates acute or chronic dysfunction of the other. Concomitant kidney failure amongst patients with acute decompensated heart failure is commonly observed . Direct and indirect effects of heart failure other than hemodynamic insult have been identified as primers for acute kidney injury and dysfunction. Patients with preexisting underlying renal disease are more likely to develop worsening renal failure in the setting of ADHF with venous congestion being the most important hemodynamic factor driving it. Worsening renal function defined as increase in serum creatinine of >0.3mg/dl from baseline occurs in 20-30% of patients with ADHF and is associated with greater length of hospital stay, hospital readmission and death. The treatment of ADHF which includes the step up intravenous diuretic therapy in addition to optimizing baseline medicines is limited frequently by diuretic resistance and worsening creatinine level precluding use of Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi), Angiotensin Receptor Blocking Agents (ARBs), and Spironolactone. Ultrafiltration/Aquapheresis still remains an option for treating non-responders to medical therapy. Inotropes have been known to produce a beneficial hemodynamic effect on heart and lead to better titration to oral regimen. Short term continous intravenous infusion of inotropic agents in patients with documented severe systolic dysfunction who present with significantly depressed cardiac output to maintain end organ perfusion has been shown to be beneficial as per the ACC/AHA guidelines 2013 for management of heart failure. The use of intravenous inotropes remains still a controversial topic in terms of its short lived and long term efficacy on renal recovery in acute decompensated heart failure. In view of the large proportion of patients admitted with acute decompensated heart failure and no real world studies comparing different inotropes to improve kidney function, the investigators aim to compare the efficacy of dobutamine and milrinone in improving kidney function and also their effect on length of stay, symptomatic improvement and medication optimisation

  1. The primary objective of the study is to objectively measure the response of dobutamine vs milrinone for renal recovery in patients with cardiorenal syndrome (>0.3mg/dl increase in creatinine from baseline) admitted for acute decompensated heart failure. These objective measures include change in serum creatinine, change in weight.
  2. The secondary objectives are to measure the length of hospitalization, readmission rates and unscheduled visits to the clinic or ER during 60 day follow up period. The investigators will also measure changes in symptoms which will be assessed using global and dyspnea visual analog scale every 24 hours until the patient is discharged .
  3. The secondary objectives also include to measure diuretic dose, medicine optimization including initiation of beta blocker / ace inhibitors before discharge, at 30 days and 60 days interval
  4. The investigators will subdivide the patients into ischemic versus non ischemic at the end of trial to see the response in both these categories of patients

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Milrinone and Dobutamine in people with Cardiorenal Syndrome, run by Maimonides 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 7 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Aug 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Serum creatinine measured in mg/dl(milligram/decilitre) (time frame: Serum Creatinine would be measured every 24 hours in mg/dl from the time of enrollment in the study and will be measured every 24 hours up to a maximum period of 14 days). 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 NCT02644057, which also lists 4 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 10 Aug 2018.
