Registry for pediatric patients with acute kidney injury due to sepsis receiving QUELIMMUNE

Pediatric Selective Cytopheretic Device (SCD-PED, QUELIMMUNE) for Critically Ill Children With Acute Kidney Injury: A Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE) Surveillance Registry Protocol

Observational SeaStar Medical · NCT06517810

This study is looking to see if a treatment called QUELIMMUNE is safe for kids with kidney injury from sepsis and if it helps reduce new infections compared to those getting standard kidney treatment.

What this trial studies

This observational registry aims to collect safety data on pediatric patients treated with QUELIMMUNE for acute kidney injury (AKI) due to sepsis. The study will compare the incidence of new bloodstream infections in patients receiving QUELIMMUNE to a matched group of patients receiving continuous kidney replacement therapy without QUELIMMUNE. The registry focuses on patients aged 10kg to 22 years who are on antibiotic therapy and require renal replacement therapy. Data will be collected prospectively to assess the safety and effectiveness of QUELIMMUNE in this population.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are pediatric patients aged 10kg to 22 years with acute kidney injury due to sepsis requiring renal replacement therapy.

Not a fit: Patients weighing less than 10kg or older than 22 years, as well as those with known allergies to QUELIMMUNE components, may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the safety and efficacy of QUELIMMUNE for treating pediatric AKI due to sepsis.

How similar studies have performed: While this approach is focused on a specific treatment, similar observational studies have shown success in collecting safety data for pediatric interventions.
