About this study

Official title: Effect of Aminophylline on Contrast Induced Acute Kidney Injury in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction Treated With Primary Angioplasty

The purpose of this study is to determine whether additional therapy with Aminophylline to hydration with sodium bicarbonate and administration of N-acetylcysteine is more effective to prevent contrast induced acute kidney injury in patients undergoing primary coronary intervention for acute ST elevation myocardial infarction.

Read the detailed description

Due to the clinical relevance of contrast acute kidney injury a large number of prophylactic procedures have been investigated. N-acetylcysteine and hydration with sodium bicarbonate are proved to be protective against contrast acute kidney injury. The adenosine-mediated afferent arteriolar vasoconstriction is a possible pathomechanism of renal impairment by contrast agent. It has been observed that aminophylline/theophylline, competitive adenosine antagonists, improves oxygen delivery to ischemic tissue, diminishes oxidative damage to renal tissue and may also scavenge free radicals.

The purpose of this study was to investigated whether the additional therapy with adenosine antagonist aminophylline reduces the incidence of contrast renal damage in high risk patients who have acute myocardial infarction.

What participants receive

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

  • AminophyllineDrug

    • 200 mg of aminophylline administrated intravenously as a short infusion, started in emergency department, before primary angioplasty and contrast medium administration
    • Sodium bicarbonate (154 mEq/L in dextrose and H20) 3mL/kg for 1 hour before contrast medium, followed by an infusion of 1 mL/kg/h for 12 hours after procedure
    • N-acetilcysteine: intravenous bolus of 1200 mg before angioplasty and 1200 mg twice daily for the 48 hours after PCI
  • Hydration plus N-acetylcisteineDrug

    • Sodium bicarbonate (154 mEq/L in dextrose and H20) 3mL/kg for 1 hour before contrast medium, followed by an infusion of 1 mL/kg/h for 12 hours after procedure
    • N-acetilcysteine: intravenous bolus of 1200 mg before angioplasty and 1200 mg twice daily for the 48 hours after PCI

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Contrast-Induced Acute Kidney Injury

    Contrast-Induced Acute Kidney Injury is defined as an increase in serum creatinine of >=25% or 0.5 mg/dL over the baseline value within 3 days after the administration of the contrast medium

    Measured: 3 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Adverse clinical events

    Adverse clinical events within 1 month including in-hospital death and need for dialysis or hemofiltration

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Aminophylline and Hydration plus N-acetylcisteine in people with Acute Kidney Injury, run by Ospedale Misericordia e Dolce at 1 site in Italy.

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 30 Oct 2012. 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 Italy. 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 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?

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?

Incidence of Contrast-Induced Acute Kidney Injury (time frame: 3 days). 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 30 Oct 2012.
