About this study

Official title: Is Progression of Arteriosclerosis in ESRD Patients Inhibited by Nocturnal Hemodialysis or Renal Transplantation?

Objective:

  1. To assess whether nocturnal hemodialysis and renal transplantation are associated with less progression of coronary arterial calcification, compared with conventional hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis;
  2. To identify the risk factors for coronary arterial calcification in dialysis and transplant patients, and to assess a possible interaction with treatment modality.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in coronary artery calcification score

    The coronary artery calcification score is measured in Agatston units or cubic millimeters and ranges from zero to theoretically infite. This coronary artery calcicifcation score is a total score for all coronary arteries. A higher score, and thus a higher increase in coronary artery calcification score, therefore represents a worse outcome.

    Measured: 3 yrs

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Kidney Disease, run by Dianet Dialysis Centers at 2 sites in Netherlands.

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 4 inclusion and 6 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 19 Dec 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Netherlands. 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 coronary artery calcification score (time frame: 3 yrs). 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 19 Dec 2018.
