About this study

Contrast induced nephropathy is a rising cause of acute renal failure in all patients. A study published in JAMA 2004, show a superiority of a hydratation with sodium bicarbonate in comparison with the same volume hydratation with sodium bicarbonate. The investigators will try following the original protocol making 2 randomized groups of patients, with cancer diagnosis, >18 years old, with a GFR <60 and >30 ml/min/1,73m2 by MDRD formula and/or diabetic patients. In the group 1 the patients will receive a solution with 154 mEq/L of a sodium bicarbonate, 3 cc/Kg/h at 1 hour before the injection of contrast and 1 cc/Kg/h during and 6 hours before the injection. The primary end point will be the rise of 25% or more in creatinine or dialysis needed.

What participants receive

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

  • sodium bicarbonateDrug

    IV 154 mEq/L sodium bicarbonate. Infusion of 3 cc/Kg/h 1 hour before the injection of contrast and 1 cc/Kg/h after the injection.

  • NaClDrug

    IV 154 mEq/L solution of NaCl 0.9%. Infusion of 3 cc/Kg/h 1 hour before the injection of contrast and 1 cc/Kg/h after the injection.

What is being measured

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

  1. Development of contrast-induced nephropathy, defined as an increase in serum creatinine of 25% or more within 2 day after administration of contrast or dialysis needed

    Measured: 2 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. change in serum bicarbonate change in serum potassium change in serum glucose change in serum creatinine change in estimated glomerular filtration rate incidence of contrast induced nephropathy comparison of cholesterol level

    Measured: 2 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing sodium bicarbonate and NaCl in people with Radiographic Contrast Agent Nephropathy, run by Barretos Cancer Hospital at 1 site in Brazil.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 3 Mar 2014. 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 Brazil. 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 phase mean?

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?

Development of contrast-induced nephropathy, defined as an increase in serum creatinine of 25% or more within 2 day after administration of contrast or dialysis needed (time frame: 2 days). 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 NCT00540904, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 3 Mar 2014.
