Trial summary

Currently, contrast-induced kidney injury cannot be diagnosed on the day of cardiac catheterization. Recently, proenkephalin (penKid) was introduced as a new glomerular filtration marker. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the change in penKid level allows for early detection of affected patients. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Proenkephalin ANd Creatinine in the Prediction of Cardiac Contrast-Associated Kidney Events

Currently, contrast-induced kidney injury cannot be diagnosed on the day of cardiac catheterization. Recently, proenkephalin (penKid) was introduced as a new glomerular filtration marker. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the change in penKid level allows for early detection of affected patients.

Read the detailed description

Use of contrast media is necessary for diagnostic imaging and percutaneous coronary intervention. However, contrast-induced kidney injury, a complication of contrast use, has been identified as the most frequent cause of hospital-acquired acute kidney injury and is associated with poor prognosis. Currently, contrast-induced kidney injury cannot be diagnosed on the day of cardiac catheterization or on the following day, when the majority of patients who undergo elective cardiac catheterization are discharged from the hospital in the real-world setting. Recently, proenkephalin (penKid) was introduced as a new glomerular filtration marker, which is capable of identifying normal subjects at high risk of future decline in renal function. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the change in penKid level on the day following cardiac catheterization can predict kidney injury before hospital discharge and thus allows for early detection of affected patients.

For this purpose a total of 214 consecutive patients who undergo routine cardiac catherization will be recruited, and blood will be drawn at three time-points: immediately before catherization, 12-24 hours after catheterization and 4-8 weeks after discharge. Creatinine will be measured for endpoint definition, while the markers urea, CRP (C-reactive protein), NGAL (neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin), KIM-1 (kidney injury marker-1), cystatin C, suPAR (soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor), and penKid will be measured as biomarkers of interest. The main outcome measure is sustained kidney injury (SKI), which is defined as an increase above 20% in serum creatinine between time-points 1 and 3. The main test is whether the change in biomarkers between baseline and immediately before discharge (time-points 1 and 2) can predict the development of sustained kidney injury.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Contrast-induced Nephropathy and Acute Kidney Injury, run by Dr. med. Mahir Karakas at 1 site in Germany.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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 18 May 2022. 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 Germany. 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.

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?

Sustained kidney injury (time frame: Time period between the two time-points: immediately before catherization and 4-8 weeks after discharge). 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 18 May 2022.
