Brief summary

The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two intravenous administrations of ilofotase alfa in patients at risk for renal damage following open heart surgery.

Detailed description

This is a Phase 2, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2-arm parallel group design trial in patients at risk for renal damage following open heart surgery. After screening and baseline assessments, eligible patients will be randomized 1:1 to either 2 doses of 128 mg ilofotase alfa, or 2 doses of placebo control. Randomization will be stratified by baseline eGFR and type of surgery. The patient will be treated with the investigational product (ilofotase alfa or placebo) at the same day before and after the surgery (Day 1). Follow-up clinic visits will be performed daily up to Day 5 for efficacy, safety, and pharmocokinetics assessments. A safety follow-up can be performed by telephone at Day 28. At Day 61, an end of trial visit will be done at site for efficacy, safety, and anti-drug antibodies assessments.

Interventions

After dilution of the concentrate, the investigational medicinal product will be administered by intravenous infusion for 1 hour at the same day before and after the surgery (Day 1)

DRUGPlacebo

Inclusion criteria

1. Age ≥18 years 2. Planned for one of the following types of open chest cardiovascular surgery with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass pump (CPB): 1. 1\. combined valve and CABG surgery; 2. aortic valve plus aortic root and/or ascending aorta (excluding aortic arch) 2. CABG with 3 or more distal anastomoses 3. Screening eGFR ≥25 mL/min/1.73m2 and ≤65 mL/min/1.73m2 4.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Assessment of serum creatinine valuesFrom Baseline to Day 5Ratio between the highest value postsurgery (post-surgery Day 1 and Days 2, 3, 4, and 5) and the pre-surgery baseline value for serum creatinine

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Assessment of major adverse kidney events (MAKE) 60Daily post-surgery through Day 5Major adverse kidney events (MAKE) 60, defined as died up to and including Day 61, have received or are receiving new renal replacement therapy (RRT) up to and including Day 61, or have a decrease in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥25% on Day 61 compared to the pre-surgery baseline eGFR reference value
Assessment of adverse event (AE) and serious adverse event (SAE) occurrenceFrom Day -1 to Day 28

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
