About this trial

To evaluate the percentage of subjects with AKI within 7 days following on-pump cardiac surgery defined by the KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes) criteria:

1. Increase in baseline (pre-surgery) serum creatinine (SCr) by ≥26.5 μmol/L (≥0.3 mg/dL) within 7 days; OR 2. Increase in baseline SCr to ≥1.5 times baseline, which is known or presumed to have occurred within the first 7 days following surgery; OR 3. Urine output \< 0.5 mL/kg/h for \>6 hours.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Male and female ≥ 18 years of age.

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) alone

CABG with aortic, mitral, tricuspid, or pulmonic valve replacement or repair

Aortic valve replacement or repair alone, with or without aortic root repair

Disqualifiers

The presence of AKI (KDIGO criteria) at the time of randomization

Off-pump cardiac surgery

Surgery to be performed under conditions of circulatory arrest or hypothermia with rectal temperature < 28°C (82.4° F)

Severe chronic kidney disease: CKD-eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2) OR requiring dialysis

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • LSALT Peptide

    Drug

    LSALT, a peptide drug with the sequence NH3-LSALTPSPSWLKYKAL-COOH, binds to dipeptidase-1 (DPEP-1) but does not inhibit its biologic enzymatic activity, potentially minimizing off-target or other adverse effects. LSALT peptide inhibits leukocyte recruitment in multiple experimental disease models through the direct inhibition of leukocyte adhesion to DPEP-1 present in lungs, kidney, and liver.

  • Placebo

    Drug

    0.9% saline solution

Treatment groups
