About this study

Official title: A Prospective Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Losartan in Children With Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy

The investigators hypothesize that using Losartan would help decrease proteinuria in controlling proteinuria in children with immunoglobulin A nephropathy.

Read the detailed description

Twenty nine patient with IgA nephropathy with proteinuria (urine protein to creatinine ratio > 0.3 mg/mg) were included in the study. All patients had received losartan treatment for 24 weeks. Changes in blood pressure, proteinuria, renal function, and biochemical parameters were prospectively evaluated before and at 4 weeks and 24 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. the change in urinary protein-creatinine ratio from baseline to the end of study

    Change in urinary protein excretion, determined as urinary protein-creatinine ratio compared to baseline, after 24 weeks of treatment.

    Measured: 24weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. the change in urinary albumin-creatinine ratio from baseline to the end of study

    Change in urinary albumin-creatinine ratio compared to baseline, after 24 weeks of treatment.

    Measured: 24 weeks

  2. the proportion of patients wifh more than 50% decrease of urinary protein-creatinine ratio

    Number of patients with wifh more than 50% decrease of urinary protein-creatinine ratio compared to baseline, after 24 weeks of treatment.

    Measured: 24 weeks

  3. the proportion of patients wifh urinary protein-creatinine ratio < 0.2 at the end of study

    Number of patients wifh urinary protein-creatinine ratio < 0.2 after 24 weeks of treatment.

    Measured: 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Losartan in people with Glomerulonephritis, IGA, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 Oct 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 South Korea. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

the change in urinary protein-creatinine ratio from baseline to the end of study (time frame: 24weeks). 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 10 Oct 2018.
