Study of Suramin in Subjects With Furosemide-Resistant AKI

May 1, 2023 updated by: Rediscovery Life Sciences

A Prospective, Double-Blind, Placebo-controlled Study of Suramin in Subjects With Furosemide-Resistant Acute Kidney Injury (AKI): Efficacy in Preventing Dialysis Dependent AKI

This is a prospective, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study to assess the effects of suramin as a potential treatment option to prevent subjects with AKI from progressing to Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) Stage III or dialysis dependent AKI.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

14 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
To evaluate and compare the efficacy of a single 3.0 mg/kg infusion of suramin versus placebo in subjects with diuretic unresponsive AKI
Time Frame: 7 days
The difference between the effect of a 3.0 mg/kg infusion of suramin versus placebo will be based on meeting 2 or more of the composite event endpoints of: peak serum creatinine (Cr) of 6 mg/dL or above from investigational product (IP) infusion through Day or progression to KDIGO Stage III within 72 hours (hr) from IP infusion or death or dialysis from IP infusion through Day 7.
