RESUMO
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is characterized by deterioration in kidney function resulting in multisystem abnormalities. Much of the morbidity and mortality associated with AKI result from a systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). This study described herein is a prospective, single-arm, multicenter US study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Selective Cytopheretic Device (SCD) treatment on AKI requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in the ICU. The study enrolled 35 subjects. The mean age was 56.3±15. With regard to race, 71.4% of the subjects were Caucasian, 22.9% were Black, and 5.7% were Hispanic. Average SOFA score was 11.3±3.6. Death from any cause at Day 60 was 31.4%. Renal recovery, defined as dialysis independence, was observed in all of the surviving subjects at Day 60. The results of this pilot study indicate the potential for a substantial improvement in patient outcomes over standard of care therapy, which is associated with a greater than 50% 60-day mortality in the literature. The SCD warrants further study in scientifically sound, pivotal trial to demonstrate reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness.

OBJECTIVE: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a highly morbid condition in critically ill patients that is associated with high mortality. Previous clinical studies have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of the Selective Cytopheretic Device (SCD) in the treatment of AKI requiring continuous renal replacement therapy in the intensive care unit (ICU). DESIGN, SETTING, PATIENTS: A randomized, controlled trial of 134 ICU patients with AKI, 69 received continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) alone and 65 received SCD therapy. RESULTS: No significant difference in 60-day mortality was observed between the treated (27/69; 39%) and control patients (21/59; 36%, with six patients lost to follow up) in the intention to treat (ITT) analysis. Of the 19 SCD subjects (CRRT+SCD) and 31 control subjects (CRRT alone) who maintained a post-filter ionized calcium (iCa) level in the protocol's recommended range (≤ 0.4 mmol/L) for greater or equal to 90% of the therapy time, 60-day mortality was 16% (3/19) in the SCD group compared to 41% (11/27) in the CRRT alone group (p = 0.11). Dialysis dependency showed a borderline statistically significant difference between the SCD treated versus control CRRT alone patients maintained for ≥ 90% of the treatment in the protocol's recommended (r) iCa target range of ≤ 0.4 mmol/L with values of, 0% (0/16) and 25% (4/16), respectively (P = 0.10). When the riCa treated and control subgroups were compared for a composite index of 60 day mortality and dialysis dependency, the percentage of SCD treated subjects was 16% versus 58% in the control subjects (p<0.01). The incidence of serious adverse events did not differ between the treated (45/69; 65%) and control groups (40/65; 63%; p = 0·86). CONCLUSION: SCD therapy may improve mortality and reduce dialysis dependency in a tightly controlled regional hypocalcaemic environment in the perfusion circuit.

Despite decades of improvements in the provision of renal replacement therapy, the morbidity and mortality associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting remains extremely high. Much of the morbidity and mortality of this disorder is the consequence of systemic cellular damage that results from immune dysregulation. This is a prospective, single-arm, single-center study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of treatment with a selective cytopheretic device (SCD) on clinical outcomes in AKI requiring renal replacement therapy in the ICU. The patients enrolled in the trial were compared with historical case-matched controls with respect to age and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score. The mortality for the case-matched controls was 77.78%, whereas the mortality in the SCD treatment group was 22.22% (p = 0.027). Multiple regression analysis identified treatment with SCD as the only significant variable affecting mortality among age, SOFA score, average change in urine output over the first 7 days during or after treatment. Mean total urine output in the 10 subjects receiving SCD treatment increased from a baseline of approximately 500 ml/d to more than 2,000 ml/d by day 7 of treatment. The SCD represents a novel therapeutic approach to alter the acute inflammatory response seen in AKI, and further evaluation of the safety and efficacy of the device is being evaluated in a multicenter investigation in the United States under an Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved investigational device exemption (IDE).
