rhBNP for Prevention of Cardiac Surgery-Associated Acute Kidney Injury (CSA-AKI) (PROTECT-CS)

Perioperative Recombinant Human Brain Natriuretic Peptide for Renal Protection in Cardiac Surgery: the PROTECT-CS Randomized Clinical Trial

Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is a common and serious perioperative complication, independently associated with prolonged hospitalization, increased mortality, and progression to chronic kidney disease. Despite advances in surgical techniques and postoperative care, no widely accepted pharmacological prevention strategy exists.

Recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide (rhBNP) exerts vasodilatory, diuretic, and natriuretic effects, reduces cardiac preload and afterload, and has demonstrated safety and efficacy in treating congestive heart failure. Preliminary studies suggest rhBNP may reduce postoperative serum creatinine, increase urine output, and improve renal outcomes; however, large-scale randomized controlled evidence is lacking.

The PROTECT-CS trial is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of perioperative continuous intravenous rhBNP infusion (0.01 μg/kg/min for 48 ± 2 hours) for prevention of AKI in high-risk patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. A total of 694 participants will be enrolled across 7 centers in China.

Detaillierte Beschreibung

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common and serious complications following cardiac surgery. CSA-AKI is independently associated with short-term adverse outcomes including prolonged ICU stay, increased need for renal replacement therapy, and in-hospital mortality, as well as long-term consequences including progression to chronic kidney disease and elevated cardiovascular mortality. Despite extensive research efforts, current clinical management of CSA-AKI remains largely supportive, and no pharmacological intervention has been established as a standard preventive strategy in international guidelines.

Recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide (rhBNP, generic name: nesiritide) shares structural and biological activity highly similar to endogenous BNP. Its pharmacological properties include arterial and venous vasodilation, promotion of natriuresis and diuresis, reduction of cardiac preload and afterload, and direct improvement of glomerular filtration rate without adversely affecting serum potassium or creatinine. rhBNP has been widely used in Chinese cardiac surgery and critical care centers for perioperative hemodynamic optimization. Published small-sample randomized trials and a recent meta-analysis have suggested potential renal protective benefits of perioperative rhBNP in cardiac surgery patients; however, these studies were limited by small sample sizes, heterogeneous populations, and the use of renal endpoints as exploratory rather than primary outcomes.

The PROTECT-CS trial aims to address this evidence gap. Eligible participants are adults aged ≥18 years scheduled for elective cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass who have at least one AKI risk factor (age ≥70 years, preoperative renal impairment, type 2 diabetes mellitus, or heart failure). Participants will be randomized 1:1 using a central IWRS system, stratified by study center with a block size of 6, to receive either continuous intravenous rhBNP at 0.01 μg/kg/min or an equivalent volume of normal saline (placebo), initiated from anesthetic induction to the onset of cardiopulmonary bypass and continued for 48 ± 2 hours total. All participants receive standard perioperative care throughout.

The primary endpoint is the incidence of AKI diagnosed per KDIGO criteria within 7 days postoperatively. Secondary endpoints include AKI incidence within 72 hours, AKI duration and severity, need for renal replacement therapy during hospitalization, changes in renal function biomarkers, hemodynamic parameters, diuretic and vasoactive drug use, major adverse kidney events at 30 and 90 days (MAKE-30 and MAKE-90), 30-day all-cause mortality, ICU and hospital length of stay, and total hospitalization costs.

An independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) will conduct periodic safety reviews and a pre-planned interim analysis. Adverse drug reactions are graded per NCI-CTCAE Version 5.0. All study data are collected via an electronic data capture (EDC) system and managed in accordance with GCP standards.
