About this study

The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of renal function and dialysis techniques on the percentage of senescent T lymphocytes.

Read the detailed description

The immunosenescence is a complex and profound remodeling of the immune system during life. It is mainly due to thymic involution and repeated antigenic stimulation. Kidney disease is associated with a decrease in adaptive immunity as evidenced by the decrease in vaccine response and increased susceptibility to infections, similar to those observed in the elderly population.

However, data on aging of the immune system in chronic kidney disease remains incomplete. Furthermore, the determinants of immunosenescence are not also not known. It is possible that "uremic" factors help explain the phenotypic and functional changes of lymphocytes, as antigenic stimuli associated with repeated bio-compatible materials used in dialysis contact.

The purpose of this study is to describe the phenotypes of the immune system of renal and analyze the determinants of these changes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Cluster of Differentiation (CD) 4/8+ CD 57+ CD 28- lymphocytes (senescent lymphocytes)

    The primary outcome measure is the percentage of CD 4/8+ CD 57+ CD 28- lymphocytes by flow cytometry. The technique used is a 6 colors surface labelling of T lymphocytes to study the T cell senescent population.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Telomerase Activity of T lymphocytes

    The telomerase activity of T lymphocytes is assessed by a method of Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-ELISA.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Level of phospho-histone 2AX (gH2AX) in peripheral blood T lymphocytes

    This level is obtained by flow cytometry after permeabilization and labelling of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC).

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Proportion of Recent Thymic Emigrants (RTE) in peripheral blood T lymphocytes

    RTE T cells will be defined by flow cytometry, according to co-expression of CD 4, CD 8,CD 31 and CD 45RA

    Measured: 6 months

  4. T-cell receptor excision circle (TREC) level in PBMC.

    TRECs study is based on a technique of quantitative PCR using DNA extracted from PBMC.

    Measured: 6 months

  5. Telomere length in T lymphocytes

    Study of telomere length is performed after extraction of DNA from isolated T cells. The length is determined by a quantitative PCR technique relative to a reference gene.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Blood sample in people with Renal Failure, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Besancon 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 2 inclusion and 7 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 5 Apr 2018. 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.

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?

Percentage of Cluster of Differentiation (CD) 4/8+ CD 57+ CD 28- lymphocytes (senescent lymphocytes) (time frame: 6 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 5 Apr 2018.
