About this study

Official title: Effect of Paricalcitol on Albuminuria, Inflammation and Fibrosis on Proteinuric Chronic Renal Diseases (PALIFE Study): a Randomized Study

The purpose of this study is to estimate the differences between albuminuria values determined as Urine Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio (UACR)(log transformed) from baseline to last observation caused by paricalcitol between the group of control and group of treatment.

Read the detailed description

Clinical Trial to estimate UACR determined albuminuria differences between treatment and non-treatment groups from basal intake to last study-related observation. Patients should suffer proteinuric Chronical Kidney Disease and recovered levels of seric 25(OH)D. Also, this clinical trial tries to determinate the effect of paricalcitol over several metabolic and inflammatory parameters on patients.

What participants receive

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

  • Experimental armDrug

    Also called Treatment

    Oral paricalcitol, 1 ug/day, plus daily treatment. 6 months (all study)

  • Comparator ArmOther

    Also called Daily treatment for CKD

    Daily treatment is not define by protocol, because daily treatment in CKD is highly variable and includes salt and/or blood pressure regulation, angiotensine system stoppers, controlled diet, etc.

What is being measured

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

  1. Albuminuria in proteinuric Chronical Kidney Disease patients

    Estimate differences between groups based on albuminuric level determined as UACR from basal to last observation visit.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change from baseline albuminuria at 6 months

    Determinate % of patients with an over 20% of albuminuria descent from baseline

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Experimental arm and Comparator Arm in people with Chronic Kidney Disease, Unspecified, run by Fundación Renal Iñigo Alvarez De Toledo at 25 sites in Spain.

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 17 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Nov 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 25 sites in Spain. 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 phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Recruitment not reached). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Albuminuria in proteinuric Chronical Kidney Disease patients (time frame: 1 year). 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 28 Nov 2013.
