About this study

Official title: The Levels of Marine n-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Plasma Phospholipids as a Prognostic Marker of Mortality and Graft Loss Endpoints in Renal Transplant Recipients.

This study will evaluate the association between n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and patient and graft survival. The association between other fatty acids and mortality and graft loss endpoints will also be evaluated.

Read the detailed description

This observational study focuses on the effects of marine n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) intake, measured as fatty acid levels in plasma phospholipids, and mortality and graft loss endpoints in renal transplant recipients. Data on morbidity, mortality and graft loss in The Norwegian Renal Registry is matched against data on fatty acid composition in a large renal transplantation cohort of approximately 2000 patients with a median follow up time of about 5 years. It is a follow up study, although retrospectively evaluated. It will evaluate the role of marine n-3 PUFAs as a prognostic marker in renal transplantation by investigating the association between the levels (weight percentage of total fatty acids) of marine n-3 PUFAs in plasma phospholipids and events, including mortality and graft loss.

What is being measured

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

  1. All-cause mortality

    First patient recruited October 1999 and all remaining patients were censored at August 2012.

    Measured: Up to 12 years.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Loss of function in the renal transplant.

    As for primary endpoint.

    Measured: Up to 12 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Disorder of Transplanted Kidney, run by Oslo University Hospital at 1 site in Norway.

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 1 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 3 Mar 2014. 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 Norway. 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?

All-cause mortality (time frame: Up to 12 years.). 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 NCT02017990, 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 3 Mar 2014.
