Study summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that Iodixanol 320 is associated with a lower incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) when compared with hyperosmolar contrast medium Iomeprol 350 in patients with impaired renal function undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI).

Read the detailed description

Iodixanol, an iso-osmolar, dimeric, non-ionic contrast agent has been shown to reduce the risk of developing CIN in patients with elevated serum creatinine concentrations compared to low-osmolar contrast agents. However, no information is available about a potential protective effect of Iodixanol in patients with impaired renal function on CIN when used during PCI. Due to the high volume of contrast exposition, patients with impaired renal function are at increased risk for the development of CIN compared to patients with normal excretory renal function.

The purpose of the investigation is to determine the changes of renal function in patients with impaired renal function receiving Iodixanol 320 or Iomeprol 350 for percutaneous coronary intervention.

The record gives a start of Jul 2006, a primary completion of Jan 2008 and a completion of Dec 2008. It does not say whether these dates are actual or estimated.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Mar 15, 2010, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
