Description

Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) is the most common form of severe acute kidney injury (AKI) and there is no approved pharmacological intervention. TIN816 is a human recombinant CD39 enzyme with potent anti-inflammatory, anti-thrombotic and tissue repair and protective effects. TIN816 may have potential to improve outcomes in patients with SA-AKI. This Phase 2b trial aims to characterize the dose–response relationship and evaluate the safety and efficacy of three different doses of TIN816 compared to placebo in patients with SA-AKI.

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 320 critically ill patients with SA-AKI. Inclusion criteria for patients include: age ≥18 to ≤85 years, admitted to intensive, intermediate or high dependency care unit, diagnosis of sepsis and Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) stage I AKI or greater. Exclusion criteria include: known chronic kidney disease (CKD) (eGFR <45 mL/min), receiving renal replacement therapy (RRT), documented or suspected history of acute or sub-acute kidney disease and thrombocytopenia or any other increased risk for bleeding. Patients will be randomly allocated to one of four treatment arms: single dose of TIN816 (4 mg/kg, 2 mg/kg or 1 mg/kg) or single dose of placebo – all given as IV infusion over 2 hours within 24 hours of AKI diagnosis. The primary objective of the study is to characterize the dose–response relationship of TIN816 on renal function measured by creatinine clearance (CrCl) in patients with SA-AKI. Secondary and exploratory objectives include the evaluation of safety and tolerability, all-cause mortality of TIN816 vs placebo, the effect of TIN816 vs placebo in reducing major adverse kidney events (MAKE), as well as the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic characterization of TIN816.

This dose-finding, Phase 2b study will provide evidence towards the safety and efficacy of TIN816 in the treatment of patients with SA-AKI (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT05996835).
