Preventing Systemic Inflammation After Cardiac Surgery With Alkaline Phosphatase

Phase 2
Recruiting
Conditions
Systemic Inflammation
Cardiopulmonary-bypass
Interventions
Drug: RESCAP®
Drug: placebo
Registration Number
NCT03050476
Lead Sponsor
Alloksys Life Sciences B.V.
Brief Summary

Study should demonstrate that alkaline phosphatase reduces the incidence and extent of acute kidney injury after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) as defined by the AKIN criteria.

Detailed Description

After cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) patients often show impairments of the immune system. Compared to placebo, CPB patients given alkaline phosphatase will have reduced composite endpoint of acute kidney injury (AKI), late extubation, gastrointestinal or neurological complications within 7 days and AKI within 90 days.
