About this study

Official title: Angiotensin II in the Perioperative Management of Hypotension in Kidney Transplant

The current standard of catecholamine vasopressor management of perioperative hypotension in kidney transplant patients carries significant risks and falls short in many ways. Currently, there is an absence in the scientific literature and research describing the hemodynamic effectiveness and safety of novel pharmacologic agents such as angiotensin II (Giapreza - Ang II) in perioperative kidney transplant patients. Phase 3 registration trials have demonstrated the superior safety and efficacy of Ang II (Giapreza) in distributive shock patients compared to traditional vasopressor agents and the novel mechanism of action may provide additional protection in renal transplant patients. The pilot study entails giving informed and consenting kidney transplant recipients Ang II (Giapreza) as their first vasopressor if the need for vasopressors emerge either intraoperatively or postoperatively in kidney transplant recipients. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and hemodynamic effects of Ang II (Giapreza) in the renal transplant population.

What participants receive

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

  • Angiotensin IIDrug

    If intraoperative or postoperative hypotension occurs (e.g. SBP < 120 mmHg) and the attending surgeon and/or attending anesthesiologist deems vasopressor therapy to be necessary, angiotensin II (Giapreza) will be the first vasopressor used for management.

What is being measured

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

  1. Duration of ATII Vasopressor Usage in the Intraoperative Setting

    Duration of vasopressor usage while in the operating room measured in hours of usage presented as median and IQR.

    Measured: Duration of usage during the transplant surgery - presented in hours

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Number (and Percentage) of Patients With Arrhythmias

    The presence of arrhythmia was confirmed via EKG, flowsheet, or note documentation from the electronic medical record.

    Measured: From date and time of study drug initiation during or after transplant operation until study drug is discontinued up to a maximum of 30 days.

  2. Number (and Percentage) of Patients With Peripheral/Visceral Ischemia

    The presence of digital or other peripheral/visceral ischemia was captured from reviewing chart documentation for each patient.

    Measured: From date and time of study drug initiation during or after transplant operation until study drug is discontinued up to a maximum of 30 days.

  3. Number (and Percentage) of Patients With Thrombosis

    Incidence of venous or arterial thrombosis occurring during the hospitalization for kidney transplant (captured by ultrasound or other diagnostic imaging)

    Measured: From date and time of study drug initiation during or after transplant operation until study drug is discontinued up to a maximum of 30 days.

  4. Number (and Percentage) of Patients With Fungal Infections

    The presence of post-operative fungal infections were captured prior to discharge as documented by the clinical care team in the electronic medical record.

    Measured: From date and time of study drug initiation during or after transplant operation until study drug is discontinued up to a maximum of 30 days.

  5. Number (and Percentage) of Patients With Hyperglycemia

    The presence of hyperglycemia was captured for each patient and was determined by those patients requiring the use of an insulin infusion after their transplant surgery.

    Measured: From date and time of study drug initiation during or after transplant operation until study drug is discontinued up to a maximum of 30 days.

  6. Number (and Percentage) of Patients With Delayed Graft Function

    The presence of Delayed Graft Function was captured for each patient and defined by the need for renal replacement therapy up to 7 days post-operative.

    Measured: From post-op to 7 days post-op

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 4 inclusion and 8 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 21 Dec 2022. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Dec 2022). 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?

Duration of ATII Vasopressor Usage in the Intraoperative Setting (time frame: Duration of usage during the transplant surgery - presented in hours). 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 NCT04529005, which also lists 12 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 21 Dec 2022.
