About this study

Official title: A 52-week Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Prospective Study to Evaluate Comparative Effectiveness and Safety of Alprostadil Injection,Sodium Ferulate and Dopamine Injection in Pediatric Acute Kidney Injury

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a pervasive clinical event in children.It has been independently associated with prolonged hospital stays, risk of in-hospital death and future progression to chronic kidney disease. Except for removal of nephrotoxic agents and optimization of supportive care,there are still no other effective therapeutic options recommended by recent guidelines. Renal ischemia is the main mechanism of AKI, the improving microcirculation therapy would be the effective management to improve the outcome of AKI in children.

Dopamine is a vasodilating drug that in small doses improves renal circulation. Alprostadil have been used in chronic arterial occlusion and Sodium Ferulate in ischemic cerebral vascular disease,they have a similar therapeutic effect of anti-platelet aggregation and vasodilation. Recent research shows that alprostadil might be associated with a significant reduction in postcontrast Scr, blood urine nitrogen (BUN) and Cystatin C (CysC) level and decrease the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy.The investigators speculate that Alprostadil,Sodium Ferulate and dopamine would be effective in treating AKI in children.

This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, 52-week study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the comparative effectiveness and safety of Alprostadil,Sodium Ferulate and dopamine in improving the outcome of AKI in children.

Read the detailed description

This study aims to explore the effective treatment of pediatric AKI and improve the outcome. It is a 52-week multicenter, randomized, double-blind,prospective study to evaluate comparative effectiveness and safety of alprostadil injection,sodium ferulate and dopamine injection. This study plans to recruit 8 to 10 centers, with 300 participants randomly divided into 3 groups and given respectively Alprostadil 0.2~0.3ug/kg.h,iv,1h/d,14d,Sodium Ferulate2~6mg/kg.d,iv,14d,Dopamine3~5ug/kg .min,iv,3h/d,14d.Time of outcome measurement is 1w,2w,4w,24w,52w. Primary Outcome Measures is The change of Serum creatinin from baseline, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urine volume in the participants after the use of the study drug.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Alprostadil, Sodium Ferulate and Dopamine in people with Children AKI Patients, run by Shengjing Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Mar 2019. 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 China. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yubin Wu, Professor (18940257958, wuyb001@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Serum creatinin (time frame: baseline, 52 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 27 Mar 2019.
