Trial summary

Renal artery stenosis is one the leading cause of secondary hypertension. Previous randomized controlled trials in humans have failed to demonstrate an improvement of renal function after stenosis dilation, probably because of a selection bias with more severe patients being excluded from randomization.

About this study

Official title: Impact of a Ciclosporin A Preconditioning for Prevention of Ischemia-reperfusion Injury After Renal Artery Stenosis Dilation

Renal artery stenosis is one the leading cause of secondary hypertension. Previous randomized controlled trials in humans have failed to demonstrate an improvement of renal function after stenosis dilation, probably because of a selection bias with more severe patients being excluded from randomization. Renal ischemia-reperfusion injuries have also not been taken into account. Indeed, reperfusion leads to a rapid renal blood flow recovery associated with renal ischemia-reperfusion injuries.

Mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) is a key player in the occurrence of ischemia reperfusion injuries because its opening leads to mitochondria leakage and cell death. However, preconditioning whether pharmacological or ischemic can prevent mPTP opening and protect cells. Ciclosporin A can prolong mPTP closing during reperfusion and reduce renal and cardiac tissular lesions. Another mPTP blocker (Bendavia) has been associated with an improvement of renal blood flow (RBF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) after renal artery stenosis dilation at 6 weeks in pigs. Based on a recent study, dilation overall benefit could be secondary to an improvement of the contralateral kidney GFR and tissue oxygen content, requiring a single kidney evaluation of those renal functional parameters. The investigators previously demonstrated that dose and timing of ciclosporin A preconditioning is key to protect kidneys from ischemia-reperfusion injuries. Previous controlled trials that failed to demonstrate a benefit of ciclosporin A conditioning have used post conditioning on necrotic cells. Considering kidney ischemia-reperfusion injuries, preconditioning have led to more encouraging results compared to ciclosporin A post conditioning in animals. Therefore the investigators aim to conduct the first clinical study of ciclosporin A preconditioning for prevention of kidney ischemia-reperfusion injuries after renal artery stenosis dilation.

Using renal functional imaging and the new PET-MRI (Positron Emission Tomography-Magnetic Resonance Imaging) combined device, the investigators will evaluate kidney perfusion, oxidative metabolism, glomerular filtration rate and oxygen content before and 3 months after renal artery stenosis dilation with or without a ciclosporin A preconditioning.

What is being measured

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

  1. Difference in relative increase (baseline and 3 months after) of global renal perfusion between the two groups

    Global renal perfusion is assessed by 15O labeled water PET (Positron Emission Tomography) imaging

    Measured: 3 months after renal artery stenosis dilation

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Difference in the relative increase (baseline and 3 months after) of global renal oxidative metabolism between the two groups

    Global renal oxidative metabolism is assessed by 11C labeled acetate PET (Positron Emission Tomography) imaging

    Measured: 3 months after renal artery stenosis dilation

  2. Difference in the relative increase (baseline and 3 months after) of global renal oxygen content between the two groups

    Global renal oxygen content is assessed by BOLD MRI (Blood-Oxygen-Level Dependent Magnetic Resonance Imaging)

    Measured: 3 months after renal artery stenosis dilation

  3. Difference in the relative increase (baseline and 3 months after) of global glomerular filtration rate between the two groups

    Global glomerular filtration rate is assessed by Iohexol measured clearance

    Measured: 3 months after renal artery stenosis dilation

  4. Difference in the relative increase (baseline and 3 months after) of single-kidney perfusion (ischemic versus contralateral kidney) between the two groups

    Kidney perfusion is assessed by 15O labeled water PET (Positron Emission Tomography) imaging

    Measured: 3 months after renal artery stenosis dilation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ciclosporin A preconditioning before renal artery stenosis dilation and NaCl preconditioning before renal artery stenosis dilation in people with Renal Artery Stenosis, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

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 21 inclusion and 0 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 8 May 2024. 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 France. 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.

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 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?

Difference in relative increase (baseline and 3 months after) of global renal perfusion between the two groups (time frame: 3 months after renal artery stenosis dilation). 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 8 May 2024.
