Trial summary

Aldosterone and its target the mineralocorticoid receptor are implied in development of cardiovascular disease such as arterial high blood pressure or cardiac failure. Serum aldosterone level is insufficient to know if the mineralocorticoid receptor is activated or not. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Prospective Study of Neutrophil Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin (NGAL)as a Biomarker of Mineralocorticoid Receiver Activity in Human: Proof of Concept.

Aldosterone and its target the mineralocorticoid receptor are implied in development of cardiovascular disease such as arterial high blood pressure or cardiac failure. Serum aldosterone level is insufficient to know if the mineralocorticoid receptor is activated or not. The aim of this study is to identify biomarkers of mineralocorticoid receptor activity. The first "candidate biomarker" is Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) or "lipocalin" which being measured in blood or in the urine. According to scientific knowledge's evolution, others biomarkers could be tested later thanks to the blood or urinary samples taken during study.

Read the detailed description

This study is broken up into 5 groups:

The first is a pre-analytical study to determinate optimum conditions for lipocalin samples.

The second focuses on intra-individual variations of lipocalin levels in blood and urine.

The third determinate the normal values of lipocalin in blood and urine. Fourthly, we study the role of renal function on serum and urines lipocalin levels.

Fifthly, we study the role of anti-aldosterone treatment on patients who suffer of primary hyperaldosteronism.

Being tested
Urinary and blood lipococalin levels determination, Spironolactone

What participants receive

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

  • Urinary and blood lipococalin levels determinationProcedure or surgery

    Blood test on an empty stomach. Urinary taking on arrival in the service

  • SpironolactoneDrug

    Also called ALDACTONE

    For the group 5, at the time of the V0 visit, a treatment by aldactone will be set up (posology: 1 to 2 mg/kg).

What is being measured

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

  1. Lipocalin blood and urinary concentrations

    Serum and urinary lipocalin concentrations will be evaluated using comercially available kits (Kits lipocalin-2/NGAL (NCAL20))

    Measured: 8 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Urinary and blood lipococalin levels determination and Spironolactone in people with Cardiovascular Diseases, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, France at 3 sites 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 15 inclusion and 50 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 2 May 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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?

Lipocalin blood and urinary concentrations (time frame: 8 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 2 May 2014.
