Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of a standard volume replacement called HES 130/0.4 (Voluven) during surgery on recovery. HES 130/0.4 (Voluven) may offer an alternative to pure fluid replacement solutions that are associated with problems after surgery including fluid overload and respiratory… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomized Controlled Investigation of the Effects of 6% Hydroxyethylstarch 130/0.4 (Voluven) on Renal Function in Patients Having Aortic Valve Replacement With or Without Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of a standard volume replacement called HES 130/0.4 (Voluven) during surgery on recovery. HES 130/0.4 (Voluven) may offer an alternative to pure fluid replacement solutions that are associated with problems after surgery including fluid overload and respiratory difficulties. The safety of HES 130/0.4 (Voluven) will be evaluated by examining its effects on kidney function, and coagulation parameters and platelet (part of the blood that help it clot) function.

Participants will be randomized (like flipping a coin) to receive one of two possible volume replacements during surgery, if fluid volume decreases enough to need replacement with one of the fluids. The two possible volume replacements are Voluven (a starch-containing fluid) or human albumin 5% (a protein-containing solution).

To examine kidney function, urine will be-sampled when the participant is put under general anesthesia, before surgical incision, within one hour of arrival to the ICU and 24 hours after completion of surgery. Two tubes (2 teaspoons) of blood (from an already established line) will be taken the morning of the surgery, within one hour of arrival to the ICU, 24 hours after surgery and every morning during the participants postoperative ICU stay.

Additionally, health and recovery information will be recorded from the participant's medical record. We will phone participants around 90 days and one year after surgery to ask a few questions about one's health and recovery. We will also record blood sample analysis results from follow up appointments within the first year after surgery. If this analysis is not conducted at the Cleveland Clinic, with permission, we will obtain the results from a treating physician.

What is being measured

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

  1. Urine Neutrophil Gelatinase-associated Lipocalin (NGAL) [Time Frame: 24 Hours After Surgery] [Designated as Safety Issue: Yes]

    To assess the safety of HES 130/0.4 (Voluven) versus albumin 5% on renal function we will measure urinary concentrations of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), an important marker of renal function, measured at baseline (following anesthetic induction and prior to surgical incision), at one hour of arrival to intensive care unit (ICU), at 24 hours following completion of surgery.

    Measured: 3 measurements in total from baseline to 24 hours after surgery: the first one is at baseline; the second one is at one hour of arrive to ICU and last one is at 24 hours after surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Kidney Function

    Postoperative kidney dysfunction using RIFLE diagnostic criteria was also assessed. Patients were assessed for risk for kidney dysfunction (RIFLE-R), injury to the kidney (RIFLE-I), failure of kidney function (RIFLE-F) using criteria based on only peak serum creatinine concentrations within the first seven postoperative days. Due to too few events, this outcome was redefined to risk (or worse) vs. no risk for this analysis.

    RIFLE classification criteria is listed below:

    Risk (RIFLE-R) Increase in serum creatinine x 1.5 from baseline Injury (RIFLE-I) Increase in serum creatinine x 2 from baseline Failure (RIFLE-F) Increase in serum creatinine x 3 from baseline Loss (RIFLE-L) Complete loss of kidney function > 4 weeks End stage (RIFLE-E) End-stage kidney failure > 3 months

    Measured: within first 7 postoperative days

  2. Postop Urine IL-18

    Postop Urine IL-18 (interleukin-18) measured at 1 h of arrival to ICU

    Measured: postoperative 1 hour

  3. Postop Urine IL-18

    Postoperative urine IL-18 (interleukin-18) measured at 24 hours after surgery

    Measured: 24 hours after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing human albumin 5% and HES 130/0.4 (Voluven) in people with Postoperative Kidney Injury, run by The Cleveland 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 3 inclusion and 13 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 14 Feb 2023. 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 phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Feb 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Urine Neutrophil Gelatinase-associated Lipocalin (NGAL) [Time Frame: 24 Hours After Surgery] [Designated as Safety Issue: Yes] (time frame: 3 measurements in total from baseline to 24 hours after surgery: the first one is at baseline; the second one is at one hour of arrive to ICU and last one is at 24 hours after surgery). 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 NCT02192502, which also lists 3 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.

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 14 Feb 2023.
