Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Not applicable
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Have the ability to understand the requirements of the study, are able
    to provide written informed consent (including consent for the use and
    disclosure of research related health information) and are willing and
    able to comply with the requirements of the study (including required
    study visits)
    2. Adult male or female, age ≥ 18 years old
    3. Have stable pre-operative renal function per Investigator assessment
    and no known increase in Serum creatinine (SCr) of ≥ 0.3 mg/dL (≥ 26.4
    μmol/L) during preceding 28 days as assessed by the site's local
    laboratory using standard assay methodology.
    4. At risk for AKI following cardiac surgery on the basis of at least one of
    the following pre-operatively assessed risk factors:
    a) eGFR (defined using Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) SCr formula) of
    < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2
    b) Diabetes with ongoing insulin treatment (defined as known type 2 or type 1 diabetes requiring prescribed insulin usage prior to hospitalization for cardiac surgery)
    c) Albuminuria defined as Urine Albumin/Creatinine ratio > 30 mcg/mg or screening urine dipstick of 1+
    Note: If albuminuria is the only possible risk factor (i.e. eGFR is ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and subject does not have a history of diabetes requiring prescribed insulin usage), a dipstick must be confirmed by urinalysis as > 30 mcg albumin/mg creatinine. If the urine albumin creatinine ratio is not available, and albuminuria is the only possible risk factor, a dipstick value of ≥ 2+ for protein or equivalent may be considered as meeting the albuminuria definition (> 30 mcg albumin/mg creatinine).
    5. Undergoes non-emergent open chest cavity cardiovascular surgeries, with use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) pump, with or without hypothermic circulatory arrest:
    a) Combined coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery and surgery of one or more cardiac valve
    (valve(s) surgery)
    b) Only CABG or single valve surgery that is a "redo" surgery (i.e. subject had any previous open chest
    cavity cardiovascular surgery)
    c) Surgery of more than one cardiac valve (valve surgery)
    d) Surgery of the aortic root or ascending part of the aorta in combination with CABG and/or valve(s) surgery
    e) If only CABG or single valve surgery and that surgery is not a "redo" surgery (i.e. not the surgery described in Inclusion Criteria #5b), subjects are required to have at least one additional risk factor for
    AKI: either one additional risk factor from Inclusion Criterion #4 above (for a total of two risk factors
    from Inclusion Criterion #4 above), OR age ≥ 65 years old, OR history of congestive heart failure
    requiring hospitalization, OR type 2 diabetes requiring at least 1 oral hypoglycemic agent but not
    requiring insulin
    Note: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) or transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)
    are allowed only if performed in combination with surgeries defined in Inclusion Criterion #5.
    *Note: "Non-emergent surgery" would denote an operation that does not require prompt and immediate surgery (within a few hours or the same day) and is scheduled in advance.
    6. No known cancer as identified by cancer screening according to site-specific pre-operative standard of care
    7. Past medical history must be negative for malignancy within 5 years of randomization, with the exception of adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma, or cervical carcinoma in situ
    8. A female subject is eligible to enter the study if she is:
    a) Not pregnant or nursing
    b) Of non-childbearing potential (i.e., post-menopausal defined as having been amenorrheic for at least 1 year prior to screening, or has had a bilateral tubal ligation at least 6 months prior to administration of study drug or bilateral oophorectomy or complete hysterectomy)
    c) If of childbearing potential, must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 48 hours prior to cardiac surgery and be using a highly effective means of contraception (per site-specific guidelines or use 2 methods of birth control concurrently, whichever is more stringent), which will be continued until the Day 90 visit
    9. Male subjects with female partners of childbearing potential must agree to use an effective means of contraception (per site-specific guidelines or use 2 methods of birth control concurrently, whichever is more stringent), which will be continued until the Day 90 visit
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1. Have an eGFR ≤ 20 mL/min/1.73 m2 (defined using CKD-EPI SCr formula)
    2. Subjects with an eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 (defined using CKD-EPI SCr formula) requiring intravascular iodinated contrast within 48 hours of surgery initiation as defined by the planned skin incision. However, subjects may be included if the post contrast increase in SCr is < 0.3 mg/dL (< 26.4 μmol/L) in at least 2 SCr evaluations performed not less than 36 hours (post final dose of contrast) apart
    3. Have a history of any organ or cellular transplant which requires active immunosuppressive treatment which can interfere with kidney function
    4. Emergent surgeries, including aortic dissection, and major congenital heart defects
    *Note: See Inclusion #5. Also, "emergent surgeries" are defined as cardiac operations that are not elective and must be done promptly to address an immediately life-threatening condition.
    5. Undergoes cardiac surgery off CPB for subjects ≥ 45 years old.(Cardiac Surgery off CPB for subjects < 45 years old is allowed.)

    12. Cardiogenic shock or hemodynamic instability within the 24 hours prior to surgery, requiring inotropes or vasopressors or other mechanical devices such as intra-aortic balloon counter-pulsation (IABP)
    13. Post cardiac surgery, have hemodynamic instability despite increasing doses of three types of vasopressors and/or inotropes (see Appendix 1)
    14. Perioperative or post cardiac surgery, an LVAD is inserted or anticipated (Note: Unplanned intraoperative LVAD that is removed before the end of surgery (i.e. skin closure) is allowed.)
    15. Post cardiac surgery, have bleeding > 300 mL/hr requiring return to surgery or ≥ 3 units of packed Red Blood Cells (RBC) in the first 2 hours post-surgery
    16. Have required any of the following within 7 days prior to cardiac surgery: defibrillator, mechanical
    ventilation, IABP, LVAD, other forms of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) (Note: The prophylactic
    insertion of an IABP preoperatively for reasons not related to existing LV pump function is not exclusionary.)
    17. Have required cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) within 14 days prior to cardiac surgery
    18. Have ongoing sepsis or history of sepsis within the past 2 weeks or untreated diagnosed infection prior to Screening visit. Sepsis is defined as presence of a confirmed pathogen, along with fever or hypothermia, and hypoperfusion or hypotension

    1. Proportion of subjects who develop any of the components of MAKE90, defined as either:
    • Death through day 90
    • Initiation of Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT) through day 90, or
    • A ≥ 25% reduction in eGFR at the Day 90 visit
    Note: For the primary analysis, eGFR will be based on serum cystatin C (eGFRcys). Estimated GFR based on serum creatinine (eGFRcreat) will be used in a sensitivity analysis

    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Key Secondary Efficacy Endpoints
    1. Proportion of subjects developing AKI overall by modified Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) criteria within 5 days post-surgery by SCr
