Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 0 days to 17 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Study population: Both male and female neonatal (aged 0-28 days of life) and pediatric (children aged 29 days-17 years) patients receiving ECLS will be eligible. The study team will also enroll neonatal and pediatric patients receiving CRRT alone (no ECLS).

Who may be able to join

  • Neonatal or pediatric patients receiving ECLS (>2 kilograms and >34 weeks gestation)
  • CRRT utilized during ECLS course
  • For the secondary endpoints comparing CRRT-mediated cytokine filtration in patients receiving ECLS with concurrent CRRT to patients receiving CRRT alone (no ECLS), the investigators will also enroll neonatal and pediatric patients receiving CRRT alone (no ECLS). Patients will be eligible for entry into this study if they meet all of the following criteria:
  • Neonatal or pediatric patients receiving CRRT

Who cannot join

  • -Those patients with inability or unwillingness of legal guardian/representative to give informed consent

About this study

Official title: Hemofilter Life Span and Filtration of Inflammatory Markers in Patients Receiving Extracorporeal Life Support And/or Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy

The goal of this project to better understand the immune-modulatory effects of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in neonatal and pediatric patients, particularly those receiving extracorporeal life support (ECLS). Little is known about the effects of CRRT in this particular population and improved knowledge will be useful clinically and may lead to novel therapeutic approaches and improved outcomes for these critically ill patients.

Read the detailed description

Via collection of serum and ultrafiltrate samples, the invesitgators will examine how hemofilter lifespan alters the filtration of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT04193865
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Extracorporeal Life Support with Renal Replacement TherapyThis cohort will include all subjects receiving extracorporeal life support with concurrent continuous renal replacement therapy. Two blood samples and one ultrafiltration sample will be obtained for the study protocol twice per day (every 12 hours) for the duration of each participants's CRRT course.
Renal Replacement TherapyThis cohort will include all subjects receiving continuous renal replacement therapy (no extracorporeal life support). Two blood samples and one ultrafiltration sample will be obtained for the study protocol twice per day (every 12 hours) for the duration of each patient's CRRT course.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cytokine concentrations over time (every 12 hours for the entire course of CRRT)

    Quantify cytokine concentrations, specifically interferon (IFN)- γ, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12p70, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α (all to result in concentrations in pg/ml), in pre-CRRT filter serum, post-CRRT filter serum, and ultrafiltrate (UF) using electrochemiluminescene assay and cytometric bead array and determine how age of the CRRT filter influences filtration of these cytokines.

    Measured: Cytokine concentrations over time every 12 hours for the entire course of CRRT through study completion, up to 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Kidney Diseases and Acute Injury of Kidney, run by Medical University of South Carolina 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 4 inclusion and 1 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 28 Oct 2024. 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. 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?

Cytokine concentrations over time (every 12 hours for the entire course of CRRT) (time frame: Cytokine concentrations over time every 12 hours for the entire course of CRRT through study completion, up to 12 months). 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 28 Oct 2024.
