The Arch Biopartners team is coordinating with Canadian hospital sites to facilitate their involvement in this international study.

The global, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial is designed to assess LSALT peptide’s safety and efficacy.

It aims to recruit 240 patients, both male and female, aged 18 years and above.

Participants will be equally randomised to receive either LSALT peptide or a placebo.

The primary goal is to determine the percentage of participants with acute kidney injury (AKI) within seven days post-surgery based on the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria.

Trial subjects will be monitored for safety and efficacy until day 28, with day 1 being the day of randomisation when the study drug is administered a minimum of one hour before anaesthesia induction.

An independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) will oversee participants evaluations, focusing primarily on safety assessments and meeting at least monthly or more often, depending on enrolment rates.
