About this study

Official title: Effects of Benazepril,Valsartan or Combination of Both on Residual Renal Function in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

This is a multicentre study examining the effectiveness of angiotension converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI), angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) or a combination of both in reducing the rate of decline in residual renal function (RRF) in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients.

Read the detailed description

RRF has been shown to decline progressively with time on dialysis in both CAPD and hemodialysis. Although RRF is an important determinant of mortality and morbidity in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, few studies have addressed therapeutic approaches for preserving RRF after the initiation of dialysis therapy. Blockade of the renin-angiotensin system by ACEI or ARB is a well-established approach for renoprotection in pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease patients. Up to now, only two trials showed that an ACEI, ramipril, and ARB, valsartan , were effective in the preservation of RRF of CAPD patients. However it is important to point out that the evidence cited has limitations. First, the trial only involved patients from one university teaching hospital. Second, transport characteristics, were not assessed before the start of the study. Third, the trial was too small to detect potentially important differences in health care use and survival between groups. Therefore, whether both ACEI and ARB preserve RRF, improve clinical outcomes and decrease health care use and costs should be tested in much longer and larger studies involving multiple sites. In order to confirm these findings, here the investigators will perform prospective, randomized, open-label and multiple center study to address long-term effects of ACEI, ARB and combination of both therapy on RRF in Patients on CAPD.

What participants receive

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

  • BenazeprilDrug

    Also called Benazepril group

    Patients with hypertension will take 10-20mg benazepril per day, antihypertensive agents other than ACE inhibitors and ARBs will be allowed. Doses are adjusted appropriately to achieve and maintain the target blood pressure of 120-140/70-90 mmHg.

  • ValsartanDrug

    Also called Valsartan group

    Patients with hypertension will take 80-160mg valsartan per day, antihypertensive agents other than ACE inhibitors and ARBs will be allowed. Doses are adjusted appropriately to achieve and maintain the target blood pressure of 120-140/70-90 mmHg.

  • Benazepril+ValsartanDrug

    Also called Benazepril plus Valsartan group

    Patients with hypertension will take 10-20mg benazepril plus 80-160mg valsartan per day, antihypertensive agents other than ACE inhibitors and ARBs will be allowed. Doses are adjusted appropriately to achieve and maintain the target blood pressure of 120-140/70-90 mmHg.

  • ControlDrug

    Also called Control group

    Patients in the control group will administer antihypertensive agents, except ACE inhibitors and ARBs. Doses are adjusted appropriately to achieve and maintain the target blood pressure of 120-140/70-90 mmHg.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The longitudinal change in residual glomerular filtration rate (GFR)

    Residual GFR is defined as the average of 24-hour urinary urea and creatinine clearances.

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Dialysis adequacy

    Indices of the adequacy of dialysis include Kt/V and weekly creatinine clearance assessed by 24-hour dialysate and urinary collection.

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Peritoneal membrane function

    Peritoneal membrane function assessed by standard peritoneal equilibration test.

    Measured: 3 years

  3. Blood pressure

    Office systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurement during follow up period.

    Measured: 3 years

  4. The time to anuria

    Anuria is defined as urine volume < 100ml/d.

    Measured: 3 years

  5. Number of participants not alive

    Death from any cause.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Benazepril, Valsartan and Benazepril+Valsartan in people with Renal Function Disorder, run by Sun Yat-sen University at 1 site in China.

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 6 inclusion and 9 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 20 May 2015. 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 China. 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?

The longitudinal change in residual glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (time frame: 3 years). 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 20 May 2015.
