Pilot study aiming to assess the effect of two doses of rhu EPO on urine NGAL concentration and on serum cystatin C and creatinine levels in critically ill patients at risk of ARF.
Research plan Open-label randomized trial Twelve months duration trial Setting: Medical and Surgical Intensive Care Unit of the University Hospitals of Geneva Start of trial: Mid-May 2008
Patients randomly allocated to 2 treatment groups (20 patients per group), or a control group (40 patients):
3.2. Trial design Day 0 Consent form signed Patients randomly allocated to control or treatment groups (20000 and 40000 IU) Serum Cystatin C determination Serum Creatinine determination Urinary NGAL determination Administration of intravenous rhu Epo on Day 0 or no Epo (control group) Day 2 At 48 hr after rhu EPO injection, samples will be taken for
Stopping rules
The trial for an individual subject, parts of the trial or the entire trial will be stopped when:
Treatment The treatment will consist of intravenous (i.v.) injections of recombinant human erythropoietin (r-hu-EPO). The trial medication will be provided by JANSSEN-CILAG AG. The brand name is EPREX® which is epoietinum-alpha in sterile buffered solution for i.v. or s.c. injection.
Patient group 1 will not receive EPO treatment. Patient group 2 will receive 20'000 U of rhu EPO and patient group 3 will receive 40'000 U of rhu EPO (i.v. route).
