About this trial
This pilot study is designed to test the logistics and recruitment of a trial testing the benefit of sodium nitrate in the prevention of contrast-associated kidney injury in a group of patients at high-risk.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Planned coronary angiogram or contrast-enhanced CT scan.
Undergoing coronary angiogram with GFR <45 mL/min/1.73m2 OR
Undergoing coronary angiogram with GFR <60 mL/min/1.73m2 and concurrent risk of AKI as defined by Hamilton et al. BMC2 risk prediction model ≥ 7%.
Undergoing contrast-enhanced CT scan with GFR<45 mL/min/1.73m2
Disqualifiers
Already fulfilling definition of acute kidney injury prior to contrast exposure by kidney disease improving global outcomes (KDIGO) criteria (absolute increase in creatinine from baseline of 0.3mg/dL or more OR relative increase in creatine of 50% or more from baseline).
Primary indication for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) including acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
End-stage renal disease actively on dialysis.
Received any intravenous or intraarterial contrast within five days from planned contrast administration.
Trial design
Parallel
Treatments tested in this trial
Sodium Nitrate
DrugThe study drug is sodium nitrate capsule at a dose of 12mmol of nitrate. This medication will be given orally 1-8 hours before the planned contrast administration and then once per day for a total of four doses.
Placebo
DrugThe placebo control medication will be a capsule filled with lactose that will be taken in the same manner and schedule as the sodium nitrate capsule
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Percent of participants receiving the first dose of blinded study drug within 1-8 hours prior to contrast exposure
Success is defined as greater than 80% of patients receiving the first dose of blind study drug within 1-8 hours prior to contrast exposure.
Percent of participants completing full course of 4 doses of blinded study drug
Success is defined as greater than 80% of patients completing the full course of 4 doses of blinded study drug
Percent of participants with 48-hour basic metabolic panel collected between 36-108 hours of contrast exposure
Success is defined as greater than 80% of patients having appropriately collected 48-hour basic metabolic panel collected 36-108 hours of contrast exposure
Percent of participants who had completion of clinical outcome monitoring at 30-day follow-up interview
Success is defined as greater than 80% of patients completing full clinical outcome monitoring at 30-day follow-up interview.
Secondary outcomes
Number of participants who develop of Contrast-Associated Acute Kidney Injury (CA-AKI)
As defined by creatinine measurement at 48 hours after contrast administration meeting Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria
Number of participants who had initiation of renal replacement therapy within 30 days of planned contrast administration for patients that did not have active need for dialysis prior to study enrollment
Number of participants with all-cause mortality within 30 days of planned contrast administration as defined by cessation of life due to any cause
Number of participants with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE)
MACE is a composite endpoint of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and non-fatal stroke within 30 days of planned contrast administration
