About this study

Official title: Randomized, Open-Label, Prospective Study to Evaluate the Protective Effect of α-Keto Acid With Low-protein Diet on Residual Renal Function (RRF) in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

This randomized, open-label, prospective study will evaluate the renal effective effect of compound α-Keto Acid plus low protein diet in PD Patients.

Read the detailed description

Residual renal function (RRF) is associated with cardiovascular complication, nutritional status, incidence of peritonitis, and quality of life in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Therefore, RRF is an important determinant of mortality and morbidity in PD patients.

Previous studies have suggested that dietary protein restriction supplemented with compound keto/amino acids may slow the loss of RRF in chronic kidney disease patients. However, there is very few reports to address the effect of compound keto/amino acid supplementation in RRF in PD patients.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the protective effect of compound α-Keto Acid plus low protein diet in RRF in PD Patients.This is a randomized, open-label, prospective study. 100 patients who meet Inclusion/Exclusion criteria will be randomized into α-Keto Acid group or control group at the ratio of 1:1. α-Keto Acid group will use compound α-Keto Acid plus low protein diet, while control group will use normal protein diet.Compound α-Keto Acid dosage is 0.1/kg/d daily. The effect of compound α-Keto Acid plus low protein diet in RRF will be evaluated after 1 year treatment.

Being tested
α-Keto Acid with low protein diet, Normal protein diet
Keywords

What participants receive

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

  • α-Keto Acid with low protein dietDietary supplement

    Also called Test Group

    Compound α-Keto Acid: The daily dose of compound α-Keto Acid is 0.1/kg/d. The total daily dose will be divided into three times a day.

    Low Protein Diet: Diet contain protein 0.8g/kg/d.

  • Normal protein dietDietary supplement

    Also called Control Group

    Diet contain protein 1.0-1.2 g/kg/d.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing α-Keto Acid with low protein diet and Normal protein diet in people with Peritoneal Dialysis, 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 5 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 22 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),residual urine volume (time frame: Every 3 months). 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 22 May 2015.
