Study summary

Data show that episodes of bleeding may often be observed in critically ill patients with dialysis-dependent acute renal failure (ARF) on renal replacement therapy (RRT). From a clinical perspective, patients with dialysis-dependent ARF and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) may be considered a high risk population in regard to e.g. development of gastrointestinal (GI-) bleeding.

In the current prospective subanalysis "SIREN" of the randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial "SUP-ICU" (NCT02467621), the investigators seek to elucidate whether the subpopulation of critically ill patients with acute kidney injury requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT) benefit from prophylactic treatment with a proton-pump-inhibitor such as pantoprazole.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The proportion of patients with clinically important GI bleeding

    Time frame: 90 days or length of ICU stay, as applicable

Secondary outcomes

  1. Proportion of patients with one or more of the following adverse events: clinically important GI bleeding, pneumonia, C. difficile infection, or acute myocardial ischemia in the ICU

    Time frame: 90 days or length of ICU stay, as applicable

  2. Proportion of patients with serious adverse reactions

    Time frame: 90 days or length of ICU stay, as applicable

  3. Proportion of patients with one or more infectious adverse events (pneumonia or CDI) in the ICU

    Time frame: 90 days or length of ICU stay, as applicable

  4. Days alive without use of mechanical ventilation, renal replacement therapy, or circulatory support in the 90-day period

    Time frame: 90 days or length of ICU stay, as applicable

  5. 90-day and 1-year (365 days) mortality post-randomization

    Time frame: 90 days/365 days or length of ICU stay, as applicable

  6. Proportion of patients receiving treatment (interventions) to stop GI-bleeding (i.e. endoscopy/ open or laparoscopic surgery/ coiling).

    Time frame: 90 days or length of ICU stay, as applicable

  7. Number of units of packed red blood cells (RBCs) transfused.

    Time frame: 90 days or length of ICU stay, as applicable

  8. 90-day/360-day/ ICU mortality rate in "RRT group" vs. "ESRD group" vs. "RRT at any time on the ICU" vs. "control group" incl. analysis of verum/ placebo subgroups.

    Time frame: 90 day, 360 days, or length of ICU stay, as applicable
