What is being measured

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

  1. composite end point

    end stage renal disease (defined by the need for long-term dialysis or renal transplantation, or eGFR<15ml/min) and all cause of death

    Measured: 12 month after the treatmnet and 3 years of the follow up time

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. the slope of the eGFR versus observation time

    the decline of eGFR per-year

    Measured: 12 month after the treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Fu-zheng-qu-zhuo (FZQZ) oral liquid in people with Stage 3 Chronic Kidney Disease and Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease, run by Guang'anmen Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences at 3 sites in China.

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 27 Oct 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 China. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

composite end point (time frame: 12 month after the treatmnet and 3 years of the follow up time). 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 27 Oct 2014.
