This study is designed to help doctors understand how to safely - and at what dose – to give the study drug to patients suffering from acute kidney injury with accompanying acute hypoxic respiratory failure (AHRF). The study is testing Auxora (study drug) against placebo (a substance that has no medical effect).

Your chance of receiving a dose is 50% (for every 1 who receives placebo, 1 receives a dose of Auxora). This selection process is called randomization (like a ‘flip of a coin') and neither you nor your study doctor will know to which group you have been assigned. Every patient in the study will receive his/her dose of Auxora or placebo once a day, for 5 days in a row.

The EPACRA- AKI study is a multicenter observational, non- interventional study, to determine actionable cut-off(s) for ProNephro AKITM (NGAL) assay to predict patients at risk for AKI in the general adult ICU population and subgroups of particular interest, such as sepsis or cardiac surgery patients.
Subject enrollment duration is anticipated for 12 months but might be extended or shortened depending on enrollment.
