About this study

Official title: Low Frequency Therapeutic Ultrasound System Pivotal Clinical Trial

Multi-center randomized trial to assess the safety and performance of low-frequency therapeutic ultrasound for maintaining renal function after contrast exposure.

Read the detailed description

This is a multi-center, randomized, controlled clinical trial designed to assess the safety and performance of the Sonogenix RENOBOOST as an adjunctive therapy for maintaining renal function after contrast exposure. The trial will enroll up to 234 subjects not taking oral nitrates and at high-risk of developing PC-AKI undergoing coronary arteriography for a planned percutaneous coronary intervention in up to 10 clinical sites in the US and up to 3 clinical sites outside the US.

All subjects will be pre- treated with 0.9 percent NaCl at 3 ml/kg/h 1 hour before and 1 ml/kg/h during and 6 hours post procedure. Participants will be randomized in a 2:1 fashion to either active adjunctive therapy with the Sonogenix RENOBOOST or sham control.

Subjects will have clinical follow-up examination 30 days post index procedure.

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Incidence of Post Contrast Acute Kidney Injury

    defined as greater than or equal to 0.3 mg/dl or greater than or equal to 25 percent rise in SCr

    Measured: at 72 hours post-contrast exposure or need for renal replacement therapy (RRT)

  2. Incidence of Post Contrast Acute Kidney Injury

    defined as greater than or equal to 0.5 mg/dl or greater than or equal to 25 percent rise in SCr

    Measured: at 72 hours post-contrast exposure or need for renal replacement therapy (RRT)

  3. Incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy

    defined as greater than or equal to 0.3 mg/dl or greater than or equal to 25 percent rise in SCr

    Measured: within 96 hours post-contrast exposure or need for RRT

  4. Occurrence of (stage 1, 2, or 3) acute kidney injury (AKI)

    defined as greater than or equal to 2-fold rise in SCr, increase in SCr to greater than or equal to 4.0 mg/dl, or initiation of RRT

    Measured: within 30 days after index procedure

  5. Incidence of Post Contrast Acute Kidney Injury

    defined as greater than or equal to 0.3 mg/dl or greater than or equal to 25 percent rise in SCr

    Measured: within 96 hours post-contrast exposure or need for RRT

  6. Occurrence of (stage 1, 2, or 3) acute kidney injury (AKI)

    defined as Stage 1 - Serum Creatinine 1.5-1.9 times baseline or greater than or equal to 0.3 mg/dL increase, Stage 2 - Serum Creatinine 2-2.9 times baseline, Stage 3 - Serum Creatinine 3 times baseline or Increase in serum creatinine to greater than or equal to 4 mg/dL or Initiation of renal replacement therapy

    Measured: within 96 hours of index procedure

  7. Maximum percent-change

    Maximum percent-change in SCr

    Measured: within 96 hours after contrast exposure

  8. Absolute and percent-change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)

    as calculated using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study Group (MDRD)

    Measured: from baseline within 96 hours after contrast exposure.

  9. Total urine output

    defined as the amount of urine collected in cc/hour.

    Measured: through baseline procedure

  10. Hospitalization

    Hospital length of stay

    Measured: following the baseline procedure through discharge from the hospital up to 30 days

  11. Intensive Care

    Intensive care unit length of stay

    Measured: following the baseline procedure through discharge from the Intensive Care Unit up to 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Low-frequency therapeutic ultrasound (LOTUS) and LOTUS System with Ultrasound Disabled in people with Contrast-induced Nephropathy and Chronic Kidney Diseases, run by Sonogenix at 4 sites 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 10 inclusion and 15 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Apr 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Low Recruitment). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Primary Efficacy Endpoint (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 12 Apr 2023.
