About this study

Official title: N-Acetylcysteine to Prevent Contrast-Induced Nephropathy in Acute Coronary Syndromes

In patients undergoing coronary angiography, the incidence of contrast induced nephropathy(CIN)varies widely and ranges from < 5% in the lowest risk patients, to nearly 50% in the highest risk patients. Prior data has shown oral n-acetyl cysteine (NAC) to be effective in reducing the incidence of CIN.Due to extensive first pass metabolism, the bioavailability of oral NAC is poor and ranges from 4%-10%. We hypothesize that the incidence of CIN will be reduced in patients with ACS who undergo PCI by the prophylactic administration of intravenous NAC.

This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled single center clinical trial designed to evaluate the effects of intravenous NAC on patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS)undergoing coronary angiography and/or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The medication Acetadote is provided by Cumberland Pharmaceuticals Inc (www.cumberlandpharma.com).

Patients will be excluded if they have end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis,known hypersensitivity to NAC or a history of life-threatening contrast reaction. Primary end-point is incidence of CIN. Secondary end-points are in-hospital mortality,30-day mortality,duration of hospitalization and change in serum cystatin C level.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing intravenous NAC in people with Nephropathy, run by Ochsner Health System 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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 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. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

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 Arthur Grant, MD ((504) 842-6281, agrant@ochsner.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of CIN (time frame: 48-72 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 NCT00939913, 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 18 Sep 2009.
