Trial summary

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a common and serious post operative complication and may occur in up to 50% of all patients undergoing cardiac surgery and is associated with 8% mortality rate compared with 0.9% in non-affected patients and remains a major factor for post surgery adverse outcomes.

About this study

Official title: Effects of Pentoxifylline on Reducing Acute Kidney Injury , Inflammation and Oxidative Stress After Cardiac Surgery

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a common and serious post operative complication and may occur in up to 50% of all patients undergoing cardiac surgery and is associated with 8% mortality rate compared with 0.9% in non-affected patients and remains a major factor for post surgery adverse outcomes. Early interventions to prevent postoperative AKI can help decreasing morbidity and mortality in these patients. Using cardiopulmonary bypass during cardiac surgery triggers systemic inflammatory response and recruits pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor, interleukin -10 (IL-10) and Interleukin-6 (IL-6) accompanying with production of free oxygen radicals which provokes oxidative stress in the milieu of ischemic reperfusion injury. Pentoxifylline as a non-specific phosphodiesterase inhibitor, can suppress the production of some factors of inflammatory response and oxidative stress, probably prevent post surgery AKI with these mechanisms.

Read the detailed description

This is a double blind randomized multicenter clinical trial, enrolling 100 consecutive patients undergoing elective Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery (CABG). Patients randomly and within concealment method divided into two groups, one to receive oral pentoxifylline 400 mg every 8 hours from three days before surgery and the other group received placebo. All the intubation , surgery and weaning protocols were the same.

What is being measured

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

  1. change of creatinine level before and after cardiac surgery

    change of serum creatinine level post CABG between pentoxifylline and placebo arms

    Measured: change of serum creatinine level 24 hours , 72 hours and 96 hours after cardiac surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Oxidative stress

    change of serum malondialdehyde (MDA) level as the inflammatory marker before and 24 hours after cardiac surgery

    Measured: before and 24 hours after end of cardiac surgery

  2. inflammatory status

    change of serum IL-6 , TNF( tumor necrosis factor) , IL-8 between two arms post cardiac surgery

    Measured: before and 24 hours after end of cardiac surgery

  3. measuring change of (BMI) weight in kilogram and height in centimeters ratio

    using weight and height ratio for calculating BMI

    Measured: before and after end of cardiopulmonary bypass pomp

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Pentoxifylline in people with Oxidative Stress and AKI, run by nooshin dalili.

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 1 inclusion and 10 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 19 Jul 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

change of creatinine level before and after cardiac surgery (time frame: change of serum creatinine level 24 hours , 72 hours and 96 hours after cardiac surgery). 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 19 Jul 2018.
