About this study

Official title: Low Dose Continuous Infusion of BNP (Nesiritide) in the Prevention of Renal Insufficiency Post Cardiopulmonary Bypass Cardiac Surgery.

Use of BNP (nesiritide) vs placebo to help protect kidney function in patients undergoing heart bypass surgery.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study of low dose nesiritide to prevent renal insufficiency after cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. Patients included are those with greater than mild renal insufficiency preoperatively as defined by having a creatinine clearance of less than 50 mL/minute determined by the Cockroft-Gault formula. The infusion of nesiritide (BNP) 0.005 mcg/Kg/minute or placebo begins 1 hour before surgery and runs for 24 hours started after the induction of anesthesia prior to cardiopulmonary bypass.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • NeseritideDrug

    Also called BNP, Nesiritide

    Dose of Nesiritide infusion will be 0.005 ug/Kg/min

What is being measured

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

  1. Creatinine Clearance at 72 hours determined by the Cockroft-Gault formula

    Measured: 72 hours post op

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of patients requiring dialysis during the hospitalization

    Measured: before hospital discharge

  2. Plasma aldosterone levels at 12 hours and 24 hours

    Measured: 12 hours and 24 hours postoperatively

  3. Total time on ventilator, ICU length of stay, total length of stay in hospital

    Measured: total length of hospital stay

  4. pre and postoperative diuretic dose used

    Measured: pre operative and postoperate

  5. Need or absence of need for inotropic support in the 72 hour perioperative period

    Measured: 72 hours perioperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Neseritide in people with Acute Kidney Failure, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site 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 1 inclusion and 3 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 23 Sep 2009. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Creatinine Clearance at 72 hours determined by the Cockroft-Gault formula (time frame: 72 hours post op). 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 23 Sep 2009; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
