Study summary

Randomized parallel group study comparing the renal safety of Captisol-Enabled™ Iohexol (CE-Iohexol) Injection and Omnipaque™ (Iohexol) Injection in patients with impaired renal function undergoing coronary angiography.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this trial is to demonstrate a reduction in the incidence of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI), also known as contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), and the equivalence of image quality following administration of Captisol-Enabled™-Iohexol (CE-Iohexol) Injection compared to Omnipaque™(Iohexol) Injection in patients with impaired renal function undergoing invasive coronary angiography.

  4. If a male who can father a child, must also meet all of the following criteria:

    1. Willing to use a protocol-recommended method of birth control, ie, a double barrier approach (eg, condoms with spermicide) or abstain from heterosexual intercourse with women of childbearing potential, from Day 1 until at least 90 days after investigational contrast agent administration; and
    2. Willing to refrain from sperm donation from Day 1 until at least 90 days after investigational contrast agent administration
  5. Willing to undergo protocol-recommended blood and urine collections, physical examinations, and laboratory investigations; and
  6. Willing and able to provide written informed consent

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria

  1. eGFR \<15 mL/min/1.73 m2
  2. Reduction in eGFR by approximately 25% that is considered to be acute per the Investigator's judgment
  3. Body weight >125 kg
  4. Uncorrected clinically significant abnormalities of clinical laboratory assessments which, in the Investigator's opinion, will interfere with the study conduct, including but not limited to the following:

    1. HbA1c >10%
    2. Blood glucose >270 mg/dL
    3. Hemoglobin \<8 g/dL
    4. Albuminuria with UACR or UPCR >4000 mg/g; or
    5. Aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase >3 x upper limit of reference range
  5. Positive test for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 RNA at Screening;
  6. Positive test for human immunodeficiency virus antibody, hepatitis B surface antigen, or hepatitis C virus RNA at Screening
  7. Uncontrolled hypertension, with systolic blood pressure (BP) >180 mmHg or diastolic BP >110 mmHg at Screening, based on the average of 3 BP measurements obtained from the patient's dominant arm
  8. Hypotension, that is considered to be of recent occurrence per the Investigator's judgment, and required resuscitation with intravenous fluids
  9. Non-cardiac acute illness or injuries that, in the opinion of the Investigator, could put the patient at risk or obscure the interpretation of the results of the study
  10. Known allergy or sensitivity to iodinated contrast agents, Captisol, or any of the excipients in the study contrast agent that cannot be adequately managed with prophylactic treatment per the Investigator's judgment and Good Clinical Practice
  11. Known allergy to heparin, history of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, or history of heparin induced thrombocytopenia with thrombosis
  12. Chronic disease(s) that, in the opinion of the Investigator, could interfere with (or for which the treatment might interfere with) the conduct of the study or interpretation of the study results or would place the patient at undue risk by participating in the study, including but not limited to the following:

    1. NYHA class IV or decompensated heart failure; or
    2. Cirrhosis of the liver
  13. Inability to receive periprocedural intravenous volume expansion
  14. Received contrast media within 10 days prior to the scheduled coronary angiography
  15. Unable or not willing to come off non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, including ibuprofen, for at least 24 hours before the scheduled procedure

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI)

    Evaluate the incidence of CI-AKI in patients with impaired renal function undergoing coronary angiography, from baseline to any blood draw within 7 days following intravascular administration of CE-iohexol compared with Omnipaque (iohexol).

    Time frame: 7 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Image quality

    Compare image quality of coronary angiography in patients administered CE-iohexol versus iohexol.

    Time frame: Day 1

  2. Change in serum creatinine (SCr)

    Evaluate the changes in SCr in patients administered CE-iohexol versus iohexol.

    Time frame: 7 days

  3. Proportion of patients exhibiting an increase in SCr

    Evaluate the proportion of patients exhibiting an increase in SCr following intravascular administration of CE-iohexol compared with iohexol.

    Time frame: 7 days

  4. Change in serum cystatin C

    Evaluate the changes in serum cystatin C in patients administered CE-iohexol versus iohexol.

    Time frame: 7 days

  5. Incidence of Adverse Events

    The number of patients with adverse events (AE) and serious adverse events will be assessed and graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v 4.0. Monitoring for Major Adverse Cardiac and Renal Events (MARCEs) will be part of the AE assessment.

    Time frame: 30 days

Other outcomes

  1. Change in novel biomarkers of renal injury

    Evaluate the change in blood and urine biomarkers of renal injury from baseline to peak at 48 hours in patients administered CE-iohexol versus iohexol. Biomarkers may include neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, liver-type fatty acid binding protein and kidney injury molecule-1.

    Time frame: 7 days
