What to Expect as a Participant

You will actively receive the study intervention — which may be a drug, biologic, device, or procedure.

In Phase 2, researchers evaluate early signs of effectiveness. You may be randomized to receive the active treatment or a comparator. Monitoring continues closely.

This trial targets 240 participants in total. It began in 2024-03-08 with a primary completion date of 2026-08.

Brief Summary

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

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male and female ≥ 18 years of age. 2. Scheduled for a non-emergent coronary and/or valve surgery procedure requiring on-pump cardiopulmonary bypass including but not limited to: * 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 * Mitral, tricuspid, or pulmonic valve replacement or repair alone * Simultaneous replacement of several cardiac valves. 3. Have the following AKI risk factors: * CKD Stage 3 (CKD-EPI eGFR ≥ 30 and \< 60 mL/min/1.73 m2) and ONE or more of the following additional risk factors OR * CKD Stage 2 (CKD-EPI eGFR ≥ 60 and \< 90 mL/min/1.73 m2) and ONE or more of the following additional risk factors: * Age ≥ 75 years; * Combined valve \& coronary artery surgery; * Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 35% by invasive or noninvasive techniques; * Urinary (TIMP-2 x IGFBP7) \> 0.3 * Diabetes mellitus * Hypertension * Hyperlipidemia 4. Sexually active women of child-bearing potential (WCBP) must be using a medically acceptable method of birth control throughout the study and for at least 1 day following the end of study and have a negative urine pregnancy test at the Screening visit. A WCBP is defined as a female who is biologically capable of becoming pregnant. A medically acceptable method of birth control includes intrauterine devices in place for at least 3 months, surgical sterilization, or the implant. In patients who are not sexually active, abstinence is an acceptable form of birth control and urine will be tested per protocol. Women who are of nonchild-bearing potential, i.e., post-menopause, must have this condition captured in their medical history. Pregnant women and nursing mothers are excluded from this study. 5. Patient or Legally Authorized Representative (LAR) is available and willing to give written informed consent, after being properly informed of the nature and risks of the study and prior to engaging in any study-related procedures. Exclusion Criteria: 1. The presence of AKI (KDIGO criteria) at the time of randomization 2. Off-pump cardiac surgery 3. Surgery to be performed under conditions of circulatory arrest or hypothermia with rectal temperature \< 28°C (82.4° F) 4. Severe chronic kidney disease: CKD-eGFR \< 30 mL/min/1.73 m2) OR requiring dialysis 5. Imminent or recent surgery for aortic dissection 6. Surgery to correct a major congenital heart defect (e.g., Tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of the great vessels, single ventricle, or Ebstein's anomaly. Bicuspid aortic valve is not considered a congenital heart defect) 7. Known history of active cancer which may interfere with interpretation of the results of this study 8. Known or suspected sepsis at time of screening 9. Pregnancy or lactation 10. Known hypersensitivity to the study drug or any of its excipients 11. Treatment with an investigational drug or participation in an interventional trial within 30 days prior to the first dose of study drug and throughout the study 12. Any disease processes or confounding variables that would inappropriately alter the outcome of the study in the opinion of the investigator 13. Inability to comply with the requirements of the study protocol.
