    A multicenter study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of liposomal bupivacaine for postsurgical analgesia in pediatric patients aged 6 to less than 17 years (PLAY)
    (Elsevier, 2021) Tirotta, Christopher F.; de Armendi, Alberto J.; Horn, Nicole D.; Hammer, Gregory B.; Szczodry, Michal; Matuszczak, Maria; Wang, Natalie Q.; Scranton, Richard; Ballock, Robert Tracy; Anesthesia, School of Medicine
    Study objective: To evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of liposomal bupivacaine in pediatric patients undergoing spine or cardiac surgery. Design: Multicenter, open-label, phase 3, randomized trial (PLAY; NCT03682302). Setting: Operating room. Patients: Two separate age groups were evaluated (age group 1: patients 12 to <17 years undergoing spine surgery; age group 2: patients 6 to <12 years undergoing spine or cardiac surgery). Intervention: Randomized allocation of liposomal bupivacaine 4 mg/kg or bupivacaine hydrochloride (HCl) 2 mg/kg via local infiltration at the end of spine surgery (age group 1); liposomal bupivacaine 4 mg/kg via local infiltration at the end of spine or cardiac surgery (age group 2). Measurements: The primary and secondary objectives were to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (eg, maximum plasma bupivacaine concentrations [Cmax], time to Cmax) and safety of liposomal bupivacaine, respectively. Main results: Baseline characteristics were comparable across groups. Mean Cmax after liposomal bupivacaine administration was lower versus bupivacaine HCl in age group 1 (357 vs 564 ng/mL); mean Cmax in age group 2 was 320 and 447 ng/mL for spine and cardiac surgery, respectively. Median time to Cmax of liposomal bupivacaine occurred later with cardiac surgery versus spine surgery (22.7 vs 7.4 h). In age group 1, the incidence of adverse events (AEs) was comparable between liposomal bupivacaine (61% [ 19/31] ) and bupivacaine HCl (73% [ 22/30 ]). In age group 2, 100% (5/5) and 31% (9/29) of patients undergoing spine and cardiac surgery experienced AEs, respectively. AEs were generally mild or moderate, with no discontinuations due to AEs or deaths. Conclusions: Plasma bupivacaine levels following local infiltration with liposomal bupivacaine remained below the toxic threshold in adults (~2000-4000 ng/mL) across age groups and procedures. AEs were mild to moderate, supporting the safety of liposomal bupivacaine in pediatric patients undergoing spine or cardiac surgery.

    The Effects of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-Delta Modulator ASP1128 in Patients at Risk for Acute Kidney Injury Following Cardiac Surgery
    (Elsevier, 2023-04-08) van Till, J. W. Olivier; Nojima, Hiroyuki; Kameoka, Chisato; Hayashi, Chieri; Sakatani, Taishi; Washburn, T. Benton; Molitoris, Bruce A.; Shaw, Andrew D.; Engelman, Daniel T.; Kellum, John A.; Medicine, School of Medicine
    Introduction: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor δ (PPARδ) plays a central role in modulating mitochondrial function in ischemia-reperfusion injury. The novel PPARδ modulator, ASP1128, was evaluated. Methods: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, biomarker assignment-driven, multicenter study was performed in adult patients at risk for acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiac surgery, examining efficacy and safety of a 3-day, once-daily intravenous dose of 100 mg ASP1128 versus placebo (1:1). AKI risk was based on clinical characteristics and postoperative urinary biomarker (TIMP2)•(IGFBP7). The primary end point was the proportion of patients with AKI based on serum creatinine within 72 hours postsurgery (AKI-SCr72h). Secondary endpoints included the composite end point of major adverse kidney events (MAKE: death, renal replacement therapy, and/or ≥25% reduction of estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR]) at days 30 and 90). Results: A total of 150 patients were randomized and received study medication (81 placebo, 69 ASP1128). Rates of AKI-SCr72h were 21.0% and 24.6% in the placebo and ASP1128 arms, respectively (P = 0.595). Rates of moderate/severe AKI (stage 2/3 AKI-SCr and/or stage 3 AKI-urinary output criteria) within 72 hours postsurgery were 19.8% and 23.2%, respectively (P = 0.609). MAKE occurred within 30 days in 11.1% and 13.0% in the placebo and ASP1128 arms (P = 0.717), respectively; and within 90 days in 9.9% and 15.9% in the placebo and ASP1128 arms (P = 0.266), respectively. No safety issues were identified with ASP1128 treatment, but rates of postoperative atrial fibrillation were lower (11.6%) than in the placebo group (29.6%). Conclusion: ASP1128 was safe and well-tolerated in patients at risk for AKI following cardiac surgery, but it did not show efficacy in renal endpoints.
