About this study

Official title: Comparison of Carvedilol and Atorvastatin for Prevention of Contrast-Induced Nephropathy After Cardiac Catheterization

This prospective study is intended to evaluate if carvedilol has any potential protective effect over atorvastatin on the development of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) following cardiac catheterization in patients with moderate to high risk for CIN.

Read the detailed description

This study enrolled 150 patients planned for CC, and randomly assigned for one of the three groups. Group (A)include 49 patients who received two atorvastatin dose 80 mg 12 hours before CC and 40 mg just before CC. Group (B) include 48 patients who received 12.5 mg carvedilol twice daily for 7 days before CC and continue for 24hrs after the day of CC, Group (C) include 47 patients who only hydrated with saline. All included patients were hydrated with saline intravenous 0.9 sodium chloride (NaCl) at 0.5-1 mg/kg/hour for 4-6 hours before and 4-6 hours after cardiac catheterization. Serum creatinine(Scr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and estimated glomerular filtration rate were evaluated at the baseline and after 48 from CC. Serum neutrophil-associated lipocalin (NGAL) was evaluated after 4 hours from CC.

Being tested
Atorvastatin, Carvedilol, saline
Keywords

What is being measured

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

  1. development of contrast induced nephropathy

    CIN :(defined as absolute rise in the baseline serum creatinine concentration by 0.5 mg/dL after 48 hours from CC).

    Measured: 1. Serum creatinine baseline was measured from venous blood (before initiating the hydration) and 48 hours after the CC procedure.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Estimated Glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)

    Cockcroft-Gault equation was used to calculate (eGFR)

    Measured: on admission, and re-calculated 48 hours post CC using

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Atorvastatin, Carvedilol and saline in people with Contrast-induced Nephropathy, run by rabab ahmed mohamed.

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 4 inclusion and 12 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 12 Mar 2019. 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. 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?

development of contrast induced nephropathy (time frame: 1. Serum creatinine baseline was measured from venous blood (before initiating the hydration) and 48 hours after the CC procedure.). 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 12 Mar 2019.
