Trial summary

Point-of-care (POC) creatinine devices allow rapid measurement of creatinine levels and calculation of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) which give an indication of renal function. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Point-of-care Creatinine Assays in Patients With eGFR <30ml/Min/1.73m2 in the Setting of Elective Procedures With Intravascular Iodinated Contrast

Point-of-care (POC) creatinine devices allow rapid measurement of creatinine levels and calculation of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) which give an indication of renal function. The focus of this assessment is to validate POC measurements to assess kidney function before intravascular iodinated contrast administration in patients with severe renal insufficiency (eGFR < 30 ml/min/1.73m2). It will be evaluated whether discrepancies between POC measurement values and values obtained from standard laboratory assays lie within an acceptable range using Bland-Altman analysis.

Read the detailed description

Measurement of creatinine to determine eGFR before intravascular iodinated contrast administration is indicated to assess whether a patient is at risk of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (AKI). For patients with reduced eGFR intravenous hydration can be offered before the scan to reduce the risk of AKI. If no recent eGFR measurement is available, contrast procedures could be cancelled and rescheduled while a creatinine test is processed in the laboratory. Using POC creatinine tests before contrast-enhanced procedures could minimise the risk of kidney injury, and may reduce the number of cancelled scans. The question is whether POC creatinine assay is accurate and beneficial in this setting compared to the standard laboratory assay.

The i-STAT Alinity POC creatinine device is one of three devices which calculate estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) recommended in clinical practice guidelines to assess kidney function to guide decisions on the use of intravascular iodinated contrast in adults. In the study, i-STAT Alinity POC measurements of creatinine will be performed using already available blood samples of patients with estimated eGFR<30 ml/min/1.73m2 and mean difference between eGFR and serum creatinine measurements using POC and standard laboratory assays will be calculated. Results will be used to evaluate the agreement between of POC and laboratory assays on risk stratification (i.e., the percentage of patients with eGFR<30 according to both laboratory and POC assays) and post-contrast acute kidney injury (AKI; i.e., the percentage of patients with post-contrast acute kidney injury according to both laboratory and POC assays). Finally, the number of elective procedures which are delayed (including delayed planning) or cancelled because a serum creatinine assay is required and unavailable will be prospectively evaluated for Maastricht UMC+ in this study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean difference between eGFR and serum creatinine measurements using POC and standard laboratory assays

    with 95% limits of agreement (based on the standard deviation of the individual between-method differences).

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Agreement risk stratification.

    percentage of patients classified as eGFR <30 by both POC and standard laboratory assays

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Agreement post-contrast acute kidney injury.

    percentage of patients with post-contrast AKI according to both POC and standard laboratory assays

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Renal Insufficiency and Acute Kidney Injury, run by Maastricht University Medical Center at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 1 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Oct 2023. 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 Netherlands. 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 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?

Mean difference between eGFR and serum creatinine measurements using POC and standard laboratory assays (time frame: 6 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 19 Oct 2023.
