Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Therapy

To investigate the effect of angiotensin II as primary vasopressor on the occurence of moderate or severe acute kidney injury within 72 hours after cardiac surgery

Secondary objectives 2

  1. To investigate the effect of angiotensin II as primary vasopressor on long-term Major Adverse Kidney Events MAKE at day 90 (MAKE90)
  2. To investigate the effect of angiotensin II as primary vasopressor on the development or progression of chronic kidney injury

1 Angiotensin II vs Norepinephrine in PAN-AKI allocation and interim analysis
trial. We will enroll approximately 1022 (up to 1222 patients based on the results of the interim analysis) adult patients scheduled for cardiac surgery (CABG surgery, valve surgery and combined CABG/valve surgery) with CPB who meet the inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria, and will randomly assign them in a 1:1 ratio to receive either angiotensin II (intervention group) or norephinephrine (control group). Randomization will be stratified by site and type of surgical procedure (coronary artery bypass graft, valve surgery, combined CABG/valve surgery).

Inclusion criteria 4

  1. Cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass including coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery, valve surgery, or combined CABG/valve surgery
  2. Elevated risk of AKI as predicted by a score ≥ 1.5 on the following scale: a. hemoglobin < 130g/l = 2 b. creatinine > 1.1 mg/dl = 2 c. age > 70 years =1.5 d. NYHA 4 =1.5 e. BMI > 30 =1.5
  3. Adult ≥ 18 years
  4. Written informed consent

Exclusion criteria 11

  1. Major aortic surgery (aortic arch replacement), transplant surgery, pulmonary thrombendarterectomy, ventricular assist device placement
  2. Already receiving inotropic/vasopressor support before surgery
  3. Dialysis dependent
  4. Pre-existing AKI within the last 30 days
  5. Pre-existing chronic kidney injury with an eGFR<20 ml/min/1.73m2
  6. Pre-existing significant hypertension (persistent SBP > 180mmHg)
  7. Significant pulmonary hypertension (ePSAP > 70mmHg, mPAP > 40mmHg) with right ventricular systolic dysfunction (graded more severe than mild)
  8. Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients of angiotensin II and norepinephrine (e.g. sodium metabisulfite, sulfite, chlorobutanol hemihydrate and sodium chloride and water)
  9. Pregnancy (a negative pregnancy test for women of childbearing age) or breastfeeding women
  10. Persons with any kind of dependency on the investigator or employed by the sponsor/investigator
  11. Participation in another interventional trial within the last three months that investigates kidney function

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

  1. Rate of AKI KDIGO stage 2 or 3 or death within 72 hours after cardiac surgery

Secondary endpoints 2

  1. MAKE90 (consisting of mortality, any dialysis within 90 days, persistent renal dysfunction (defined as > 25% eGFR reduction to baseline value at day 90)
  2. Development or progression of chronic kidney disease based on albuminuria and on two serum creatinine measurements between day 90 and 120
