Comparison of Early Proton Pump Inhibitor Initiation Versus Usual Care on Acute Kidney Injury in Hemorrhagic Shock Patients (NCT06531642)

Comparison of Early Proton Pump Inhibitor Initiation Versus Usual Care on Acute Kidney Injury (CEPU-AKI) in Hemorrhagic Shock Patients: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Phase2 / Phase3 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The investigators propose a single-center, randomized, controlled trial to determine whether early initiation of proton pump inhibitor (PPI), pantoprazole, will decrease acute kidney injury (AKI) for trauma patients presenting with hemorrhagic shock compared to routine timing of initiation of PPI. Kidney injury will be assessed by the urinary kidney injury biomarkers, and the incidence, severity and AKI-free days within first week and major adverse kidney events (MAKE) at day 30. The specific aims of the study will be achieved by a cohort of 100 patients to receive either early(study) or routine (control) administration of pantoprazole for 2 days after the initial injury insult.
