About this study

Official title: MultiGFR: Equivalency Study of Different Methods of Measuring Glomerular Filtration Rate

The purpose of this study is to validate in comparison to a reference method (inuline) two novel non-radioactive biomarkers for glomerular filtration rate (GFR) measurement in chronic-kidney disease (CKD) patients and in healthy volunteers: Calcium-EDTA and Gd-DOTA.

Read the detailed description

Research on estimation and measurement of renal function has been greatly stimulated by the international concept of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its classification into stages of severity based on the level of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (National Kidney Foundation KDOQI and ANAES in 2002, KDIGO conference in 2005), and by the development of recommendations for clinical practice according to this stages. Many efforts have focused on the validation of new formula to estimate GFR from endogenous markers. Nevertheless, the performance of these formula is limited by a large inter individual variability, that requires in many cases the use of GFR measurement using exogenous tracers (extreme anthropometric characteristics, abnormal production of endogenous tracers, potential kidney donors, dose adjustment, nephrotoxicity monitoring…). The use of GFR measurement is burdened by a lack of availability due to methodological, biological and regulatory (for radioactive tracers) constraints. That's why a need exists for new validated tracers that will be more accessible and easier to use. Moreover, there are differences between the measurement techniques: single injection of the tracer or concentration equilibrium obtained by continuous infusion; plasma or urinary clearance.

Two new tracers for GFR measurement are here offered for validation: Gd-DOTA and Calcium-EDTA. Gd-DOTA is a macrocyclic paramagnetic contrast product, which can be measured using an ELISA type immunoassay. Although being widely used in radiology with higher doses than those that will be used for GFR measurement in the multi-GFR study, Gd-DOTA has never been involved in systemic nephrogenic fibrosis cases (ProFinest study). Calcium-EDTA has been used for many years for the chelation of heavy metals. Recently, a colorimetric assay for Calcium-EDTA measurement has been developed. Gd-DOTA and Calcium-EDTA clearance for GFR measurement will be compared to inuline clearance in healthy volunteers (25 for each new tracer) and CKD patients (150 for each new tracer).

What is being measured

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

  1. Calcium EDTA and Gd-DOTA clearance for glomerular filtration rate measurement

    Calcium EDTA or Gd-DOTA clearance for GFR measurement is compared to inuline clearance in healthy volunteers (n= 25) and in CKD patients (n= 150, stages 1 to 4, 30 patients for each stage) at equilibrium by measuring urinary clearances of inuline and Calcium EDTA or Gd-DOTA continuously co-infused after a loading dose.

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Calcium EDTA and Gd-DOTA clearance for glomerular filtration rate measurement in each CKD stage

    Calcium EDTA or Gd-DOTA clearance for GFR measurement is compared to inuline clearance in healthy volunteers (n= 25) and in CKD patients (n= 150, stages 1 to 4, 30 patients for each stage) at equilibrium by measuring urinary clearances of inuline and Calcium EDTA or Gd-DOTA continuously co-infused after a loading dose.

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Calcium EDTA and Gd-DOTA clearance reproducibility for GFR measurement

    Calcium EDTA or Gd-DOTA clearance is measured twice at day 1 and day 15 in healthy volunteers (n= 25) and in CKD patients (n= 25, stages 1 to 4, 5 patients for each stage) at equilibrium by measuring urinary clearances of inuline and Calcium EDTA or Gd-DOTA continuously co-infused after a loading dose.

    Measured: 15 days

  3. Calcium EDTA and Gd-DOTA clearance with single injection for GFR measurement

    Calcium EDTA or Gd-DOTA clearance is measured twice at day 1 and day 15 in healthy volunteers (n= 25) and in CKD patients (n= 25, stages 1 to 4, 5 patients for each stage) at equilibrium at day 1 by measuring urinary clearances of inuline and Calcium EDTA or Gd-DOTA continuously co-infused after a loading dose and at day 15 with a single loading dose of Calcium EDTA or Gd-DOTA

    Measured: 15 days

  4. Volumes of distribution of Calcium EDTA and Gd-DOTA

    Calcium EDTA or Gd-DOTA apparent volumes of distribution are compared to inuline apparent volume of distribution in healthy volunteers (n= 25) and in CKD patients (n= 150, stages 1 to 4, 30 patients for each stage).

    Measured: 1 day

  5. Number of participants with adverse events as a measure of safety.

    Each event following Calcium EDTA or Gd-DOTA infusion will be listed in healthy volunteers (n = 50) and in patients (n = 300).

    Measured: 45 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Calcium EDTA and Gd-DOTA in people with Renal Insufficiency, Chronic and Kidney Diseases, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 4 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 8 inclusion and 10 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 May 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 was stopped early (reason given: The study was suspended after a suspected unexpected serious adverse event.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Calcium EDTA and Gd-DOTA clearance for glomerular filtration rate measurement (time frame: 1 day). 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 18 May 2018.
