What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study examines whether starting kidney dialysis early or later improves outcomes for patients with tumor lysis syndrome, a complication of cancer treatment that can cause acute kidney injury. Researchers will review data from 800 adults treated in ICUs between 2013 and 2023. The goal is to see which timing leads to better kidney function after 30 days.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors know the best time to start dialysis for kidney injury from tumor lysis syndrome, potentially improving recovery.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may show patterns but not prove cause and effect. It also looks at past data, which may have limitations.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

This is a retrospective, multicenter cohort study conducted across several intensive care units (ICUs) in France. Data will be collected retrospectively from patient records and analyzed to assess the impact of early versus delayed RRT initiation on clinical outcomes in patients with TLS-induced AKI.

Ages

18 years and older

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adults aged ≥18 years. * Hospitalized in the ICU between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2023. * Diagnosed with a hematologic malignancy or solid tumor requiring chemotherapy. * Diagnosed with TLS based on the presence of two or more biochemical criteria (e.g., hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia, hyperuricemia, hypocalcemia) within 3 days before or 7 days after chemotherapy initiation. Exclusion Criteria: * Patient or family opposition to data collection for research purposes. * Incomplete medical records that preclude data extraction.
