About this study

Official title: Inflammatory Markers and Mircera® Prospective Assessment of Correlation (IMPACT): A Multi-Center Observational Study Investigating the Correlation Between Inflammatory Marker Levels and ESA Dosage in CKD Patients on Dialysis Treated With Mircera®

This observational, multi-center, open-label, prospective study will evaluate the relationship between serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta dosage in participants with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on dialysis. Participants will be recruited who are on stable methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta maintenance therapy or will initiate therapy with methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation Coefficient (r) Between Serum C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Level and Methoxy Polyethylene Glycol-Epoetin Beta Dose

    Regression analysis and Pearson correlation were used to calculate the correlation coefficient (r).

    Measured: Day 1

  2. Correlation Coefficient (r) Between Serum Interleukin-6 (IL-6) Level and Methoxy Polyethylene Glycol-Epoetin Beta Dose

    Regression analysis and Pearson correlation were used to calculate the correlation coefficient (r).

    Measured: Day 1

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Percentage of Participants With Change in Methoxy Polyethylene Glycol-Epoetin Beta Dose at Month 6

    Percentage of participants with change in methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta dose compared to baseline were reported as per the following categories: (a) No change, (b) Dose increase (1 to greater than [>] 200 micrograms per kilogram [mcg/kg]), and (c) Dose decrease (1 to >200 mcg/kg).

    Measured: Month 6

  2. Change From Baseline in Methoxy Polyethylene Glycol-Epoetin Beta Dose at Month 6

    Measured: Baseline, Month 6

  3. Serum CRP Level

    Measured: Baseline, Month 6

  4. Serum IL-6 Level

    Measured: Baseline, Month 6

  5. Correlation Coefficient (r) Between Serum CRP Level and Methoxy Polyethylene Glycol-Epoetin Beta Dose at Month 6

    Measured: Month 6

  6. Correlation Coefficient (r) Between Serum IL-6 Level and Methoxy Polyethylene Glycol-Epoetin Beta Dose at Month 6

    Regression analysis and Pearson correlation were used to calculate the correlation coefficient (r).

    Measured: Month 6

  7. Predictive Baseline Serum CRP Level for Participants Initiating Treatment With Methoxy Polyethylene Glycol-Epoetin Beta Dose

    Measured: Day 1

  8. Predictive Baseline Serum IL-6 Level for Participants Initiating Treatment With Methoxy Polyethylene Glycol-Epoetin Beta Dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Kidney Diseases, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 18 sites in Israel.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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 15 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 sites in Israel. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Apr 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Correlation Coefficient (r) Between Serum C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Level and Methoxy Polyethylene Glycol-Epoetin Beta Dose (time frame: Day 1). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 15 May 2017.
