Acute kidney injury: emerging pharmacotherapies in current clinical trials.


ABSTRACT: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a significant source of morbidity and mortality in pediatric patients, affecting more than one quarter of critically ill children. Despite significant need, there are no targeted therapies to reliably prevent or treat AKI. Recent advances in our understanding of renal injury and repair signaling pathways have enabled the development of several targeted pharmaceuticals. Here we review emerging pharmacotherapies for AKI that are currently in clinical trials. Categorized by their general mechanism of action, the therapies discussed include anti-inflammatory agents (recAP, AB103, ABT-719), antioxidants (iron chelators, heme arginate), vasodilators (levosimendan), apoptosis inhibitors (QPI-1002), and repair agents (THR-184, BB-3, mesenchymal stem cells).
