MAGIC AKI: Magnesium for the Prevention of HIOC-Associated AKI

Phase 2
Recruiting
Conditions
Mesothelioma
Interventions
Drug: Normal Saline
Registration Number
NCT05730816
Lead Sponsor
Brigham and Women's Hospital
Brief Summary

In this research study, investigators will test whether prophylactic high-dose IV Mg administration attenuates the risk of AKI in patients with malignant mesothelioma receiving intraoperative chemotherapy (HIOC) with cisplatin compared to placebo

.

Detailed Description

In this phase 2, open-label randomized, placebo-controlled trial, investigators will test whether prophylactic high-dose IV Mg administration attenuates the risk of HIOC-associated AKI in patients with malignant mesothelioma undergoing surgery with HIOCC. Investigators will randomly assign 130 patients to receive IV Mg versus an equal volume of normal saline (0.9% NS) placebo, of whom it is anticipated 80 will complete the study. Investigators will also collect blood and urine pre- and postoperatively for exploration of secondary outcomes.

Investigators will screen for eligibility at participant's preoperative visit with their thoracic surgeon. Intravenous magnesium will be administered as a continuous infusion, soon after induction and stabilization by anesthesia in the operating room. The magnesium drip will start at 1 g/hour and will be titrated to achieve target levels of 3-5 mg/dl. The total duration of the infusion will be 24 hours.

Target Recruitment
130
Inclusion Criteria
  1. • Adult patients (≥18 years old) with malignant mesothelioma undergoing surgery with HIOC with Dr. Raphael Bueno or another BWH thoracic surgeon
Exclusion Criteria
  1. eGFR<45 ml/min/1.73m2 on either screening labs or preoperative labs, or end-stage kidney disease receiving renal replacement therapy. Screening labs refer to those obtained at the preoperative visit with the surgeon or within 90 days prior, whereas preoperative labs are obtained on the day of admission (typically one to three days priors to surgery).
  2. Serum Mg >3 mg/dl on either screening labs or preoperative labs
  3. Pregnant/breastfeeding
  4. Neuromuscular disease (e.g., myasthenia gravis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, myositis)
  5. Coronary artery disease, defined as any of the following in the prior year: a positive stress test; coronary angiogram indicating 1 or more vessels with >70% stenosis; percutaneous coronary intervention with stents; or coronary artery bypass graft surgery
  6. Sinus bradycardia, defined as a heart rate (HR) <55 beats per minute (bpm) detected on any ECG in the preceding 6 months
  7. High grade AV block (2nd degree AV block type II or 3rd degree AV block) without a pacemaker
  8. Positive COVID test in the 10 days prior to surgery
  9. Prisoner
  10. Hypersensitivity to Mg sulfate
  11. Concurrent participation in a study with an alternative experimental therapy that may interact with IV Mg
  12. Any condition that, in the view of the PI, might place the patient at increased risk or compromise the integrity of the study
  13. Conflict with other study

Arm && Interventions
GroupInterventionDescription
Normal SalineNormal SalinePatients randomized to placebo will receive an equal volume of normal saline (0.9% NS) placebo which will be administered as a continuous infusion at 25 ml/hour. The infusion will continue for 24 hours.
Magnesium SulfateMagnesium sulfateThe IV Mg will start at 1 g/hour (25 ml/hour) within one hour following induction of anesthesia and stabilization of the patient. The infusion will continue for 24 hours and serum Mg levels will be monitored every 4 hours (+/-1 hour) for 28 hours following initiation of the Mg. Dose adjustments to the Mg infusion will be made as necessary to reach target serum Mg levels (3-5 mg/dl).
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
AUC of SCr measured daily over 7 days in Mg- versus placebo-treated patients7 days

The primary endpoint is the area under the curve (AUC) of SCr measured daily over 7 days in Mg- versus placebo-treated patients

Composite Global Rank7 days

As a secondary endpoint, investigators will construct a composite global rank endpoint in which the highest rank is assigned to those who die within 7 days, the second highest rank is assigned to those who survive but require RRT within 7 days, and all others ranked according to their SCr AUC, since RRT and death are important competing risks.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Renal tubular injury2 days

AUC of uNGAL, uKIM-1, and pKIM-1 at hours +4, +12, and +36 in relation to HIOC administration

Composite outcome of RRT/in-hospital death7 days

Composite outcome

Myocardial injury7 days

Defined as clinical evidence of myocardial injury and a troponin level above the 99th percentile

Incident AKI7 days

Urine output \<0.5 ml/kg/h x consecutive 6 hours in the first 48 hours following surgery with HIOC (this will only be assessed for the first 48 hours, as patients are transferred out of the ICU and/or their foley is removed, which prevents accurate hourly assessment of UOP); An absolute increase in SCr ≥0.3 mg/dl within 48 hours; C) A relative increase in SCr ≥50% compared to the baseline value in the first 7 days; D) Receipt of RRT in the first 7 days

Vasoactive-inotropic score (VIS)2 days

Assessed every 4 hours for the first 24 hours, and then every 8 hours for the next 24 hours, in relation to the start of the Mg infusion. The VIS is a validated method for integrating all vasoactive medications (i.e., vasopressors and inotropes) and their doses on an hourly basis into a single measure, and has been used in multiple settings

Proportion of patients with serum Mg levels in the 3-5 mg/dl range in the treatment group1 day

Between hours +8 and +24 in relation to the start of the Mg infusion

New onset of atrial fibrillation7 days

Confirmed on an EKG

AUC for platinum concentrations2 days

Using blood and urine collected at various time points

Maximum AKI stage7 days

Based on KDIGO staging
