Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate \<45 ml/min/1.73 m2 and/or a high risk for CI-AKI (as defined according to both Mehran's score ≥11 and/or Gurm's score \>7) will be enrolled. Patients will be divided in high (\>12 mm Hg) and normal LVEDP, non-invasively estimated by transmitral flow velocity to annular velocity ratio (E/E' index). Patients in each group will be randomly assigned to 1) LVEDP-guided hydration with normal saline (LVEDP-guided group). The fluid infusion rate will be adjusted according to the LVEDP as follows: 5 mL/kg/hr for LVEDP \<12 mmHg; 3 mL/kg/hr for 13-18 mmHg; and 1.5 mL/kg/hr for \>18 mmHg. 2) UFR-rate guided hydration (RenalGuard group). In this group, hydration with normal saline plus low-dose of furosemide is controlled by the RenalGuard system, in order to reach and maintain a high (\>300 mL/h) UFR. In all cases iobitridol (an low-osmolar, non ionic contrast agent) will be administered. The primary endpoint is the composite of CI-AKI (i.e., serum creatinine increase ≥ 25% and ≥ 0.5 mg/dl from the baseline value at 48 hours after contrast media exposure) and/or acute pulmonary edema.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
In order to clarify how to carry out optimal hydration, 2 regimens have been recently proposed: 1) left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP)-guided hydration and 2) urine flow rate (UFR)-guided hydration. The POSEIDON trial demonstrated that the left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP)-guided hydration is superior to the conventional hydration regimen in preventing CI-AKI. In the LVEDP-guided hydration, the fluid infusion rate was adjusted according to the LVEDP as follows: 5 mL/kg/hr for LVEDP \<12 mmHg; 3 mL/kg/hr for 13-18 mmHg; and 1.5 mL/kg/hr for \>18 mmHg. The reported rate of pulmonary edema was 1.5%.
Another theory for CI-AKI prophylaxis suggests to induction and maintenance of a high UFR. This high UFR should allow the body to rapidly eliminate contrast media, reducing contact time within nephron. The RenalGuard™ System (PLC Medical Systems, Inc.) in combination with limited (0.25 mg/kg) dose of furosemide induces an maintains a high UFR (\>300 mL/h) safely by maintaining the intravascular blood volume and minimizing the risk of over or under-hydration. Furthermore, the reported rate of pulmonary edema was \<1%.
The purpose of the present study is to compare the LVEDP-guided hydration and the UFR-guided hydration in patients at high risk for CI-AKI.
Following enrollment, patients will be randomly assigned to one of the following treatments: 1) LVEDP-guided group, and 2) RenalGuard group. Enrolled patients will be stratified, according to the estimated LVEDP value, into high LVEDP and normal LVEDP group. LVEDP will be non-invasively estimated by the transmitral flow velocity to annular velocity ratio (E/E' index). Estimated LVEDP pressure \>12 mm Hg will be considered high. Patients allocated in both groups will receive intravenous 0.9% sodium chloride for at least one hour prior to cardiac catheterization. In both groups the fluid rate will be adjusted according to the non-invasive LVEDP estimate as follows: 5 mL/kg/hr for LVEDP ≤12 mmHg; 3 mL/kg/hr for 13-18 mmHg; and 1.5 mL/kg/h for \>18 mmHg, as suggested in the POSEIDON trial. Invasive LVEDP measurement will be also estimated in all patients by placing an angled 5 or 6-French pigtail catheter in the mid-cavity of the left ventricle at the beginning of the procedure and before contrast media injection in order to confirm the non-invasive estimated value.
The sample size was calculated to demonstrate the superiority of the RenalGuard therapy over the LVEDP-guided hydration regimen. The investigators expect a reduction in the primary composite endpoint from 9% in the LVEDP-guided group to 5% in the RenalGuard group. Using a two-sided Chi-square test with a significance level of 0.05, a total of at least 750 randomized patients (350 in each arm) afforded the study 80% power. The endpoints will be analyzed in the global population and also in the subgroups stratified according to the LVEDP value.
Serum creatinine, cystatin C, blood urea nitrogen, sodium and potassium will be measured the day before, 12, 24, 48 hours and 1 week after administration of the contrast agent; additional measurements will be performed in all cases of deterioration of baseline renal function. CI-AKI is defined as an increase of serum creatinine \>=0.3 mg/dl at 48 hours after contrast media exposure.
Patient demographic details, medical history, current medication, eGFR, risk score for CI-AKI, and left ventricular ejection fraction are recorded at baseline. Total hydration volume administered according to the prophylaxis and during the 24 and 48 hours following the procedure as well as the total urine volume will be recorded. The pre-procedure sCr level is considered as the sCr concentration before the initiation of any prophylaxis. End-point data and adverse events are collected during the in-hospital stay and at 1-month. Six-month and 12-month MAE will be also collected. All adverse events are recorded in the case report form and the data coordinating center will be informed by facsimile within 72 hours of any events. Serious events and any other safety issues will be reviewed by an independent Data Monitoring and Safety Committee. All events will be adjudicated by a Clinical Events Committee (CEC), who is blinded to treatment assignment. At least 2 members of the CEC review clinical data and relevant documentation and determine whether end points have occurred according to the study definitions. In case of disagreement between reviewers, a third member of the CEC will adjudicate and the data will be considered by the entire committee if 2 of the 3 reviewers do not agree.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
LVEDP-guided group
Patients allocated to the LVEDP-guided group will continue to receive intravenous 0.9% sodium chloride, according to the protocol suggested in the POSEIDON trial (that is, 5 mL/kg/hr for LVEDP ≤12 mmHg; 3 mL/kg/hr for 13-18 mmHg; and 1.5 mL/kg/h for \>18 mmHg). The fluid rate will be eventually modified at the start of the procedure in case of discordance between non-invasive and invasive LVEDP pressure estimate, being the invasive value considered as gold-standard. The fluid rate will continued during the procedure, and for 4 hours post-procedure.
No interventions assigned to this group
Renalguard group
Patients enrolled in this group will be treated by hydration with 0.9% saline controlled by the RenalGuard system. On top of the 1.5-5.0 ml/kg/h that patients would have received over the previous hour (according to the non-invasive estimate LVEDP), an initial bolus of 250 ml will be administered. In case of LV ejection fraction ≤30% and/or LVEDP \>18 mm Hg the bolus will 150 mL. Therefore, furosemide (0.25 mg/kg) will be administered in order to achieve the optimal urine flow rate (≥300 mL/h). The controlled hydration by the RenalGuard system will be continued during the procedure and for 4 hours following the procedure. Urine flow rate is monitored and maintained at the target value through the procedure and during the following 4 hours. Additional furosemide doses are allowed in case of decrease of the urine flow rate below the target value.
