Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to determine how levels of this newly-discovered hormone, called FGF-23, changes in the blood in response to a high calcium dialysis bath during a hemodialysis (HD) treatment, and how this relates to changes in the calcium and PTH levels. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Determination of FDF-23 Levels in Non-suppressible PTH Secretion and the Influence of Inflammation on Fetuin A Levels During Hemodialysis Treatment

The purpose of this study is to determine how levels of this newly-discovered hormone, called FGF-23, changes in the blood in response to a high calcium dialysis bath during a hemodialysis (HD) treatment, and how this relates to changes in the calcium and PTH levels. We are also studying the effects of dialysis and inflammation on the levels of Fetuin A.

We intend to prospectively study a cohort of end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on hemodialysis in order to determine whether FDF-23 levels independently affect non-suppressible PTH levels. The relationship between Fetuin A and inflammatory markers will also be determined. By dialyzing patients on 3.5 mEq/L calcium dialysate bath, we seek any relationship between ionized calcium, FGF-23 and PTH.

Read the detailed description

The goal of this study is to ascertain whether there is a regulatory relationship between the novel phosphorus-regulating polypeptide fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23), ionized calcium (iCa), and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. In addition, we will determine if there is an inverse relationship between Fetuin A levels and inflammatory markers, interleukin 6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP), during a hemodialysis treatment.

All patients participating in this study will be off Zemplar and/or Sensipar for a washout period of approximately 4 weeks as these medications will interfere with the study. Patients will go through one designated research hemodialysis time for a blood draw. Blood draws will be taken during 4 separate intervals at 0, 45, 90 and 150 minutes. At each interval, 4 tubes of blood will be drawn.

There are no further required blood draws once each designated research HD session has been completed. At the conclusion of the designated research HD session, vitamin D analogue (Zemplar®) and/or Cinacalcet (Sensipar®) will be restarted, and the dose will be adjusted to reflect the subject's recent biochemical markers (Ca, Phos, and iPTH).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • exposure to a high-calcium dialysate bathProcedure or surgery

    Subjects are exposed to a high calcium (3.5 mEq/L) dialysate bath for 150 minutes (part 1). At defined timepoints (0, 45, 90, and 150 min) blood is sampled for calcium, PTH, phosphorous, and FGF-23. At another (later) dialysis session (part 2), the process is repeated except that the subjects are exposed to a normal calcium bath (2.5 mEq/L). For each subject, results from part 1 are compared to the results from part 2.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing exposure to a high-calcium dialysate bath in people with End-Stage Renal Disease, run by James B. Wetmore, MD at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jun 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

change in serum fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) (time frame: 0, 45, 90, and 150 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Jun 2012.
