In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating L-citrulline and Placebo for Acute Lung Injury. Completed, enrolled 189 participants across 29 sites in 4 countries.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether L-citrulline is effective and safe in the prevention of clinical sequelae of Acute Lung Injury in pediatric subjects undergoing surgery for congenital heart defects.

Interventions
* Bolus of 150 mg/kg at the initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass, but after removal of any crystalloid base; * Addition of study medication at a concentration of 200 μmol/L given as a bolus during bypass. This may be administered as a one-time bolus or multiple administrations to compensate for fluids containing L-citrulline that may be removed from the patient during the course of the operation and thus to maintain the concentration of 200 μmol/L; * Bolus of 20 mg/kg 30 minutes after decannulation from cardiopulmonary bypass; * 9 mg/kg/hr continuous infusion for up to 48 hours.
* Bolus of 150 mg/kg at the initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass; * Addition of placebo matched for volume given as a bolus during bypass. This may be administered as a one-time bolus or multiple administrations during bypass; * Bolus of 20 mg/kg 30 minutes after decannulation from cardiopulmonary bypass; * 9 mg/kg/hr continuous infusion for up to 48 hours.
