What participants receive

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

  • Dialysis with continuous renal replacement therapyDevice

    Continuous renal replacement therapy is a form of 24-hour dialysis in the ICU

  • Mechanical ventilatorDevice

    Invasive or noninvasive form of respiratory support

  • Anti-Bacterial AgentsDrug

    Also called cephalosporin, carbapenem

    Antibacterial agents deemed appropriate by physicians in the ICU

  • VasopressorsDrug

    Also called Norepinephrine, Dopamine, Milrinone, Dobutamine

    Vasopressors such as Norepinephrine, dopamine, milrinone, dobutamine

What is being measured

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

  1. Renal replacement therapy proportion

    Proportion of patients with FST responsiveness and nonresponsiveness who had received RRT

    Measured: 28 days

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. 28-day mortality measured by number of deceased patients at 28-day after the enrollment

    28-day mortality measured by number of deceased patients at 28-day after the enrollment

    Measured: 28-day or until hospital discharge

  2. ICU-free days measured by number of days (28 days minus ICU length of stay)

    28 days minus by ICU length of stay

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 28 days

  3. mechanical ventilator-free days measured by number of days (28 days minus days using mechanical ventilator)

    28 days minus by days using mechanical ventilator

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 28 days

  4. dialysis dependence measured by need for renal replacement therapy in 28 days

    dialysis dependence at hospital discharge

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 28 days

  5. 7-day fluid balance

    7-day fluid balance

    Measured: 7 days

  6. RRT free days

    28 days minus by days on RRT

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 28 days

  7. Length of ICU stay

    Length of ICU stay

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 28 days

  8. Length of hospital stay

    Length of hospital stay

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 28 days

  9. Renal recovery

    Urine output > 1,000 ml without diuretics or > 2,000 ml with diuretics

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 28 days

  10. Adverse events

    Adverse events

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 28 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dialysis with continuous renal replacement therapy, Mechanical ventilator and Anti-Bacterial Agents in people with Acute Kidney Injury, run by Chulalongkorn University at 1 site in Thailand.

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 6 inclusion and 10 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 19 Dec 2017. 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 Thailand. 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.

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?

Renal replacement therapy proportion (time frame: 28 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 NCT02730117, which also lists 2 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 19 Dec 2017.
