About this study

Official title: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial of Supplemental Nitric Oxide During Cardiopulmonary Bypass to Reduce Acute Kidney Injury After Cardiac Surgery

This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study to investigate whether supplemental Nitric Oxide (NO) gas delivered during cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) reduces the incidence and impact of acute kidney injury (AKI) in neonates undergoing surgery for congenital heart disease (CHD), when compared to placebo gas

Read the detailed description

Screening: All patients undergoing either elective or emergency cardiac surgery will be screened against the eligibility criteria.

Research Sample Collection: Blood and urine will be collected for the first 48 hours admission and analyzed. The specific time points for these parameters will be: 2 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours 24 hours, and 48 hours post admission. Blood and urine parameters will also be collected as a baseline pre-operative. Patient outcomes will be captured for 30 days post operatively.

Research Data Collection: Baseline information will be collected. Other research related variables collected during the surgical intervention and bypass. Additional information will be collected 2 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, and 48 hours after admission as well as outcomes 30 days after the procedure.

Participants will be randomly allocated to the NO or control group in a 1:1 ratio.

This study is investigating a possible protective role for NO gas administration during bypass on the subsequent development of AKI. NO is typically delivered via large, stand-alone cylinders that are placed at the bedside (or adjacent to the patient) and is set up by respiratory therapists. In this research study, the study gas (NO or placebo) will be delivered directly into the bypass circuit at a constant gas flow. The placebo gas in this study will be 21% (or atmospheric) oxygen, and will appear to all members of the clinical and research teams (with the exception of the respiratory therapist responsible for setting it up) indistinguishable from NO, rendering this a double-blind study for the patient (or caregiver) and the investigators. This minimizes any possibility of bias in the study.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • NO gas delivered during cardiac surgeryDrug

    intra-operative NO gas at 20ppm blended into the fresh gas flow of the CPB oxygenator via the INOMax delivery system.

  • placebo gas delivered during cardiac surgeryOther

    placebo blended into the fresh gas flow of the CPB oxygenator via the INOMax delivery system. The placebo gas in this study will be 21% (or atmospheric) oxygen.

    Measured: 48 hours

  2. Cystatin-C level

    2 of 2 biomarkers to determine acute kidney injury (AKI)

    Measured: 48 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing NO gas delivered during cardiac surgery in people with Congenital Heart Disease and Acute Kidney Injury, run by Fabio Savorgnan 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 5 inclusion and 6 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 1 Dec 2021. 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. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

NGAL level (time frame: 48 hours). The study lists 2 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 1 Dec 2021.
