About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy Assessment of NucleoCapture Selective DNA Adsorber in Humans

This open non-randomized controlled single center study investigates to what extent the removal of circulating Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs) from blood by NucleoCapture device has a positive effect on the treatment of patients with sepsis and sepsis-associated AKI (SA-AKI).

Read the detailed description

The term "sepsis" refers to a clinical syndrome in which a dysregulation of the host's inflammatory reaction to infection leads to a life-threatening of organ dysfunctions. Sepsis and septic shock are major causes of death in intensive care units worldwide. Sepsis remains the most important cause of AKI in the intensive care unit (ICU) with 15%-20% of patients with sepsis-associated AKI (SA-AKI) prescribed RRT . In addition to association with short term mortality, AKI is also linked to the later development of CKD, ESRD, and long-term increased risk of death

NETosis is a unique form of neutrophil cell death that is characterized by the release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) composed of DNA web-like structures decorated with highly cytotoxic protein components. Release of NETs leads to bystander tissue damage (including the kidneys) and drives a fatal course of disease in sepsis patients.

The plasmapheresis is a medical procedure, where pathogenic components are being removed from the blood by adsorbers outside the body in an extracorporeal circulation. For removal of the pathogenic substances the plasma is separated from the blood to pass the adsorber. The purified plasma is merged with the solid blood components thereafter and returned to the patient. The NucleoCapture device provide highly selective removal of neutrophil extracellular traps from human blood during plasmapheresis procedure.

    Measured: from [start of treatment] through 28 days after

  4. Serum creatinine change over time

    Change of creatinine in serum over time for each patient and in average in group

    Measured: from [start of treatment] through 28 days after

  5. Serum urea change over time

    Change of urea in serum over time for each patient and in average in group

    Measured: from [start of treatment] through 28 days after

  6. Urine output change

    Change of urine output over time for each patient and in average in group

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing NucleoCapture device in people with Sepsis and Sepsis-associated AKI, run by Santersus AG at 1 site in Russia.

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 6 Dec 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 Russia. 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?

Incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) (time frame: from [start of treatment] through 28 days after). The study lists 6 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 6 Dec 2022.
