Study on Delayed Graft Function Using Paired Kidneys

Phase 2
Conditions
Delayed Graft Function
Interventions
Drug: Normal Saline
Registration Number
NCT01561599
Lead Sponsor
Angion Biomedica Corp
Brief Summary

The study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of an intravenously administered drug in recipients of kidneys from cardiac death donors who are risk for developing delayed graft function.

Detailed Description

Renal transplantation is the most effective and cost-efficient form of renal replacement therapy for a burgeoning population that presents with end-stage renal disease. Although organ donation has become a national priority, the gap between the number of patients awaiting a kidney versus the number of available kidneys continues to widen exponentially. In many countries within the European Union, utilization of "donation after cardiac death" (DCD) kidneys is steadily increasing, expanding the donor pool by \> 50%. Given the high incidence of cardiac deaths in the US, aggressive pursuit of the DCD kidney pool could potentially reduce waitlist periods to months, if not days. Risk for delayed graft function (DGF) with the attendant risks for increased recipient morbidity, chronic allograft nephropathy and increased medical costs has however tempered DCD kidney utilization in this country. Development of strategies that limit normothermic reperfusion injury, promote renal repair, reduce the incidence and/or duration of DGF and improve long-term outcome can greatly enhance acceptance and recruitment of DCD kidneys. The study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of an intravenously administered drug in recipients of kidneys from DCD donors who are risk for developing DGF. This trial is unique in that it compares drug versus placebo outcome in kidney recipients from the same donor with direct evaluation of function (creatinine clearance) in the graft.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
creatinine clearance7 days

The primary analysis to assess the activity of BB3 compared to placebo will be the mean difference in creatinine clearance over time using selective 24-hour urine collections from the transplanted kidney from the first infusion of study drug through day 7 post-transplant.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Urine production28 days

Median time (days) until production of ≥1 litre urine over a 24-hour period, i.e. median number of days following the first infusion of study drug until the first day (08:00 - 08:00) that urine production was ≥1 litre over a 24-hour period.

Creatinine clearance28 days

Calculated creatinine clearance at days 14 and 28

Mean serum creatinine28 days

Mean serum creatinine at days 4, 7, 10, 14, and 28

Incidence of delayed graft function7 days

Incidence of delayed graft function (required dialysis due to inadequate renal function during the first 7 days after transplantation).

Number of dialysis sessions28 days

Number of dialysis sessions through day 7, 14, and 28

Mean total daily urine output14 days

Mean total daily urine output through day 14

Daily serum creatinine7 days

Daily serum creatinine at days 1 to 7

Length of hospitalization following transplantation28 days
