ABSTRACT:
Methods: GUARD is a 240-patient, multicenter, double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial to assess the efficacy and safety of ANG-3777 in patients at elevated pre-surgery risk for AKI undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) or heart valve repair/replacement requiring CPB. Subjects are randomized 1:1 to receive ANG-3777 (2 mg/kg) or placebo. Study drug is dosed via 4 daily intravenous 30-minute infusions. The first dose is administered less than 4 hours after completing CPB, second at 24 ± 2 hours post-CPB, with two subsequent doses at 24 ± 2 hours after the previous dose.
Results: The primary efficacy endpoint is percent change from baseline serum creatinine to mean area under the curve from days 2 through 6. Secondary endpoints include change in estimated glomerular filtration rate from baseline to day 30, the proportion of patients diagnosed with AKI by stage through day 5, and the length of CSA-AKI hospitalization. Safety will include adverse events and laboratory measures.
Conclusion: This phase 2 study of ANG-3777 provides data to develop a phase 3 registrational study in this medically complex condition.

<h4>Introduction</h4>Nearly one-third of patients undergoing cardiac surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) experience cardiac surgery-associated (CSA) acute kidney injury (AKI); 5% require renal replacement therapy. ANG-3777 is a hepatocyte growth factor mimetic. <i>In vitro,</i> ANG-3777 reduces apoptosis and increases cell proliferation, migration, morphogenesis, and angiogenesis in injured kidneys. In animal models, ANG-3777 mitigates the effects of renal damage secondary to ischemia ...[more]
