About this study

Official title: Effects of Remote Ischemic Preconditioning on Renal Outcomes Following Lower Limb Revascularization

The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) in preventing acute kidney injury after lower limb revascularization.

Remote ischemic preconditioning(RIPC) is a simple, cost-free and non invasive procedure (transient upper limb ischemia/reperfusion) that could provide organ protection (Heart, Brain and Kidney) following ischemia injuries.

Being tested
RIPC, Control

What participants receive

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

  • RIPCProcedure or surgery

    4 cycles of 5-min inflation to 200 mmHg followed by 5-min deflation of arm cuff

  • ControlProcedure or surgery

    deflated cuff placed on the left arm for 40 min

What is being measured

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

  1. AKI

    the incidence of Acute Kidney Injury, defined as absolute rise of ≥ 0.3 mg/dL and/or a relative increase of 25% in serum creatinine compared to preoperative

    Measured: 72 Hours

  2. AKI

    the incidence of Acute Kidney Injury, defined as decrease of 35% in GFR compared to preoperative.

    Measured: 72 Hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. AKI Risk Score

    the incidence of Acute Kidney Injury, defined as increase od 0.3 in Aki risk score (TIMP-2 * IGFBP-7)

    Measured: 24 Hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing RIPC in people with Ischemic Preconditioning and Acute Kidney Injury, run by University of Messina 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 4 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 4 Oct 2021. 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. 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?

AKI (time frame: 72 Hours). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 4 Oct 2021.
