Preventive Effect of the PRetreatment With Intravenous Nicorandil on Contrast-Induced Nephropathy in Patients With RenaL Dysfunction UndEergoing Coronary Angiography (PRINCIPLE Study)

Renal hypoxia plays an important role in the development of contrast-induced nephropathy. The purpose of the PRINCIPLE study is to investigate the effect of pretreatment with intravenous nicorandil on the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy in patients with renal insufficiency undergoing coronary angiography.

  • Use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, intravenous use of diuretics, dopamine, mannitol, N-acetylcysteine, ascorbic acid or sodium bicarbonate within 48 hrs before the procedure
  • Severe liver disease

Treatment and study plan

pretreatment with intravenous nicorandil vs. placebo before coronary angiography

Drug
  • Nicorandil group: Pretreatment with intravenous Nicorandil (Sigmart for injection, Choongwae Pharma, Seoul) 12 mg in 0.9% saline 100 ml over 2 hours starting from 1 hour prior to coronary angiography
  • Control group: Pretreatment with intravenous 0.9% saline 100 ml over 2 hours starting from 1 hour prior to coronary angiography

Other names: Nicorandil group versus Control group

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy defined as an increase in serum creatinine ≥25% or ≥0.5 mg/dl

    Time frame: at 24 hours
