About this study

Official title: Early Identification of Sepsis-associated Acute Kidney Injury Using Ultrasonography Measurements and Renin and Angiotensin Levels in Children and Adults.

Prospective observational cohort study; pediatric sepsis vs. healthy pediatric subjects and pediatric sepsis with acute kidney injury (AKI) vs without AKI.

Blood samples and renal ultrasound will be collected on sequential days for septic subject and one time for the healthy patients.

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) with be run on serum plasma to compare the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) between groups.

Read the detailed description

Prospective observational cohort study; pediatric sepsis vs. healthy pediatric subjects and pediatric sepsis with AKI vs without AKI.

Powered to collect 74 patients total (37 sepsis,37 healthy) with enrollment ratio 1:1 and expected different of 50% in renin levels, this provides 80% power at an alpha of 0.05.

Sepsis identified as pediatric Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (pSOFA) >/= 2 + infection and/or Phoenix sepsis criteria.

Collecting blood samples on subsequent days of hospitalization. For healthy patients, a one-time blood draw will be obtained .

Renal ultrasound will be performed on day 1, 2 and 3 of hospitalization.

Blood will be collected and plasma stored at -80 degrees Celsius.

Plasma thawed in batches and ELISAs for RAAS components.

Demographic data will be collected.

What is being measured

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

  1. Difference in serum renin in sepsis

    Comparison between healthy and septic subjects serum renin levels

    Measured: For sepsis cohort point 1 collection within the first 48 hours from of meeting sepsis criteria, point 2: 48-72 hours and point 3: 72-94 hours. For the healthy cohort blood drawn at a single time point up to 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Aberrations in the renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) in sepsis associated acute kidney injury

    Comparison of RAAS components between sepsis with and without AKI

    Measured: For sepsis cohort point 1 collection within the first 48 hours from of meeting sepsis criteria, point 2: 48-72 hours and point 3: 72-94 hours.

  2. Septic induced kidney injury will be associated with alterations in renal blood flow

    Ultrasound will measure blood flow to kidneys during sepsis and compare with serum levels of RAAS

    Measured: For sepsis cohort point 1 collection within the first 48 hours from of meeting sepsis criteria, point 2: 48-72 hours and point 3: 72-94 hours.

  3. Aberrations in the renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) in sepsis versus healthy patients

    Comparison of RAAS components between sepsis and healthy

    Measured: For sepsis cohort point 1 collection within the first 48hours from of meeting sepsis criteria, point 2: 48-72 hours and point 3: 72-94hours. For the healthy cohort blood drawn at a single time point.

  4. Changes in the components of the RAAS over the first three days in sepsis

    Measuring components of RAAS over three days and comparing trend

    Measured: For sepsis cohort point 1 collection within the first 48hours from of meeting sepsis criteria, point 2: 48-72 hours and point 3: 72-94hours.

  5. Changes in renal blood flow on Ultrasound in Sepsis

    Measuring renal blood flow trend over first three days of sepsis

    Measured: For sepsis cohort point 1 collection within the first 48 hours from of meeting sepsis criteria, point 2: 48-72 hours and point 3: 72-94 hours.

  6. Renal blood flow and RAAS in sepsis

    Comparison between blood flow by renal ultrasound and components of RAAS

    Measured: For sepsis cohort point 1 collection within the first 48 hours from of meeting sepsis criteria, point 2: 48-72 hours and point 3: 72-94hours.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Mar 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Grace Fisler, MD (203-671-0654, gfisler@northwell.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Difference in serum renin in sepsis (time frame: For sepsis cohort point 1 collection within the first 48 hours from of meeting sepsis criteria, point 2: 48-72 hours and point 3: 72-94 hours. For the healthy cohort blood drawn at a single time point up to 24 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06295393, which also lists 9 linked publications.

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 Mar 2024.
