Trial summary

Gitelman syndrome is a rare renal disease where the kidneys are unable to normally retain some salts (sodium, potassium and magnesium). Main consequences of these renal leaks of salts are a tendency toward low blood pressure, hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia both contributing to cardiac and muscles symptoms. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Safety and Efficacity of Indometacin and Two Potassium Sparing Diuretics in Adult Patients Affected by Gitelman Syndrome

Gitelman syndrome is a rare renal disease where the kidneys are unable to normally retain some salts (sodium, potassium and magnesium). Main consequences of these renal leaks of salts are a tendency toward low blood pressure, hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia both contributing to cardiac and muscles symptoms.

Read the detailed description

Patients with received in random order 75mg/day indometacin (Chronoindocid®), 10-20 mg/day amiloride and 50-150 mg /day eplerenone (Inspra ®). The three 6 weeks-periods of treatment will be followed by six weeks washout period. 3-6 weeks before the first period of treatment, a supplementation with potassium and magnesium will be orally given, and maintained at the same dose throughout the study and stoped 6 weeks after the end of the third period of treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate the efficacy of indomethacin on hypokalemia versus potassium and magnesium supplementation alone

    Measured: 2 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To evaluate the effectiveness of indomethacin on disorders possibly induced by chronic hypokalemia and /or hypomagnesemia (EKG, lipid disorders related to insulin resistance, glucose/ insulin ratio)

    Measured: 2 months

  2. To evaluate the effectiveness of eplerenone and amiloride on hypokalemia.

    Measured: 2 months

  3. To evaluate and compare indomethacin, eplerenone or amiloride in terms of efficiency on biological and hormonal disorders

    To evaluate and compare indomethacin, eplerenone or amiloride in terms of efficiency on biological and hormonal disorders other than hypokalemia (hypomagnesemia, hyperaldosteronism), glomerular filtration rate, hypotension, clinical tolerance, and quality of life.

    Measured: 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing TREATMENT in people with Gitelman Syndrome, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 1 inclusion and 2 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 10 Dec 2013. 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 France. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

To evaluate the efficacy of indomethacin on hypokalemia versus potassium and magnesium supplementation alone (time frame: 2 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01146197, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 10 Dec 2013.
