Pharmacokinetics of AP214 Acetate in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery

Phase 2

Completed

• Conditions: Cardiac Surgery; Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting; Valve Surgery; Aortic Root or Ascending Aortic Aneurysm Repair Surgery
• Interventions: Drug: AP214; Drug: Placebo

• Registration Number: NCT00903604
• Lead Sponsor: Action Pharma A/S

Brief Summary

The purpose of the present research study is to investigate the pharmacokinetics, as well as safety, tolerability and pharmacodynamics of different ascending dosing regimens of AP214 in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. AP214, the investigational drug, is being developed to potentially prevent post-surgical kidney injury after thoracic aortic aneurysm repair.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
AP214	AP214	Infusions of sequential ascending dosages of AP214
Placebo	Placebo	Infusions of saline solution

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
To assess in patients the pharmacokinetics of AP214 administered as three 10-minute infusions in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.	Day 0 to Day 1
To assess the safety and tolerability of AP214, defined as a descriptive analysis of AEs and SAEs (including analysis of severity and relationship to trial drug)	Day 0-90

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
To assess effect of AP214 on cardiac surgery induced systemic inflammation o determined by the post-operative peak plasma concentrations of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10, and area under the curve (AUC) for TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10	0-24 hours
To assess effect of AP214 on development of post-surgical acute kidney injury (AKI), where AKI is evaluated by evaluation of serum creatinine values, urine output and renal replacement therapy free days.	Day 0 - Day 30
To assess the safety and tolerability of AP214 on standard safety laboratory data	Day 0-14
To assess the safety and tolerability of AP214 on vital signs	Day 0-90
To assess safety and tolerability of AP214 in terms of mortality by evaluation of overall mortality	Day 0-90
To assess the effect of AP214 at an organ level (CNS, heart, lung, and wound healing)as well as systemically.	Day 0-90
