Recruiting PHASE2 Acute Kidney Injury

Prevention study for Acute Kidney Injury

Official title LSALT Peptide for Prevention or Attenuation of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) in Patients Undergoing On-Pump Cardiac Surgery

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05879432

What this study is testing

What is LSALT Peptide?

LSALT Peptide is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for acute kidney injury.

Also referred to as Metablok.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
To evaluate the percentage of subjects with AKI within 7 days following on-pump cardiac surgery defined by the KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes) criteria: 1. Increase in baseline (pre-surgery) serum creatinine (SCr) by ≥26.5 μmol/L (≥0.3 mg/dL) within 7 days; OR 2.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
  • You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance. You may not know which one you got.

Who can take part

Ages 18 and older

You may be able to join if

  • Male and female ≥ 18 years of age.
  • Scheduled for a non-emergent coronary and/or valve surgery procedure requiring on-pump cardiopulmonary bypass including but not limited to:
  • Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) alone
  • CABG with aortic, mitral, tricuspid, or pulmonic valve replacement or repair
  • Aortic valve replacement or repair alone, with or without aortic root repair

You likely can't join if

  • The presence of AKI (KDIGO criteria) at the time of randomization
  • Off-pump cardiac surgery
  • Surgery to be performed under conditions of circulatory arrest or hypothermia with rectal temperature \< 28°C (82.4° F)
  • Severe chronic kidney disease: CKD-eGFR \< 30 mL/min/1.73 m2) OR requiring dialysis
  • Imminent or recent surgery for aortic dissection
  • Surgery to correct a major congenital heart defect (e.g., Tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of the great vessels, single ventricle, or Ebstein's...
