About this study

Official title: BIcarbonato di Sodio e N-Acetilcisteina Nella Prevenzione Della Nefropatia da Mezzo di Contrasto Nell'infaRto mIocardico acutO(Registro BINARIO)

Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) represents a potential complication of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in interventional cardiology, especially in the acute setting of primary PCI. The investigators will test the efficacy of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on the prevention of acute events and CIN in patients with acute myocardial infarction.

Read the detailed description

Introduction Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) represents a potential complication of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in interventional cardiology. In the setting of elective procedures, the strategy of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) infusion has been shown to reduce the incidence of CIN in high-risk patients. The efficacy of this strategy has not been demonstrated in the case of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Aim of the study The aim is to assess the efficacy of the strategy of sodium bicarbonate 154mEq/l + glucose solution 5% (infusion rate: 3 mL • kg-1 • h-1 for 1 hour followed by 1 mL • kg-1 • h-1 for 6 hours) and NAC (1200 mg i.v. followed by 1200 mg bid for the next 48 hours) in reducing the incidence of CIN in patients with STEMI undergoing primary or rescue PCI. As control group, a population of STEMI patients treated with NAC (1200 mg i.v. followed by 1200 mg bid for the next 48 hours) + conventional hydration with saline solution 0.9% will be retrospectively enrolled. According to the common definition, CIN will be defined as increase of the level of serum creatinine >0,5 mg/dL and/or increase ≥25% serum creatinine and/or decrease ≥25% of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) as calculated with the MDRD Modification of Diet in Renal Disease)formula at 48 hours after PCI compared with baseline value after primary PCI.

Study Design This is a two-center (Policlinico Gemelli and Policlinico Casilino, Rome, Italy), prospective, spontaneous (not sponsored) observational study.

Patient population

Inclusion criteria:

  • Consecutive patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) as diagnosed according to the ACC (American College of Cardiology) criteria:
  • ischemic symptoms;
  • ECG variations: ST-elevation (>0,05 mV) in two or more contiguous leads;
  • Increase of the biochemical markers of myocardial necrosis (troponin T, cTNT).
  • Indication to urgent coronary angiography and primary or rescue PCI

Exclusion criteria:

  • Patients with history of allergic reaction to NAC (Fluimucil, Zambon Group Spa, Milan, Italy)
  • Chronic hemodialysis
  • Age > 90 years

Study protocol Patients will be treated with 154 mEq/L of sodium bicarbonate and glucose 5% solution (infusion rate of 3 mL • kg-1 • h-1 for 1 hour followed by 1 mL • kg-1 • h-1 for 6 hours) plus NAC (1200 mg i.v. followed by 1200 mg bid for the next 48 hours). As control group, a population of STEMI patients treated with conventional hydration with saline solution 0,9% and NAC (1200 mg i.v. followed by 1200 mg bid for the next 48 hours) according to the common clinical practice of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine of the Policlinico Agostino Gemelli and of Cardiology Department of the Policlinico Casilino will be retrospectively enrolled.

Endpoints:

Primary endpoint:

  • Composite endpoint (death/need for dialysis/CIN)

Secondary endpoints:

  • assessment of individual major adverse events (death, re-infarction, need for dialysis) during at 1, 6 and 12 months
  • assessment of the incidence of CIN defined as increase of the level of serum creatinine >0,5 mg/dL and/or increase ≥25% serum creatinine and/or decrease ≥25% of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) as calculated with the MDRD formula at 48 hours after PCI compared with baseline value.

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?

All cause mortality, contrast-induced nephropathy and need of dialysis. (time frame: 2010). 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 NCT01218178, which also lists 17 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.
