Trial summary

Bone and mineral disease is a key problem in patients with kidney disease. The available clinical parameters are non-specific, unproven for the assessment of the bone metabolism and do not reflect the complexity and diversity of the underlying bone pathology. Read more about this study

About this study

Bone and mineral disease is a key problem in patients with kidney disease. The available clinical parameters are non-specific, unproven for the assessment of the bone metabolism and do not reflect the complexity and diversity of the underlying bone pathology. The aim of this study is to use bone histology, novel bone markers and bone imaging results to establish a reliable decision model (diagnostic tool) that can be used to guide the individual therapy.

Read the detailed description

Bone and mineral disease is a key problem in patients with kidney disease. The available clinical parameters are non-specific, unproven for the assessment of the bone metabolism and do not reflect the complexity and diversity of the underlying bone pathology.

In this study bone histology parameters including results of tetracycline labeling will be compared to non-invasive parameters of bone metabolism (e.g. sclerostin, calciprotein particles) and bone structure obtained by imaging (e.g. bone density).

The aim of the study is to establish a reliable decision model (diagnostic tool) with these non-invasive parameters that can be used to guide the individual therapy. The decision model will be based on single calculations of the area under the curve for each parameter, including determination of the optimal cutpoint, sensitivity and specificity. These results will be integrated in a multivariate logistic regression analysis. The resulting model will enable to calculate the individual probability of the underlying bone diagnosis as a single value (without a specific dimension).

What is being measured

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

  1. Accuracy of a diagnostic model (derived from the non-invasive radiologic and blood parameters of the bone) in relation to the 'gold standard' bone biopsy result

    After determining the AUC, sensitivity, specificity and optimal cutpoint for each parameter, a logistic regression model is created which gives the probability of the underlying bone diagnosis as a single probability value.

    In this cross-sectional studies each patient gets a one-time assessment of radiologic and blood parameters of bone metabolism obtained within one week. Accuracy is described by the performance measures sensitivity, specificity, area under the curve, negative and positive predictive values.

    Measured: cross-sectional study, one week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Renal Osteodystrophy, run by Hannover Medical School at 1 site in Germany.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Feb 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 Germany. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Margret Patecki, MD (+49 511-532 ext. 6320, patecki.margret@mh-hannover.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Accuracy of a diagnostic model (derived from the non-invasive radiologic and blood parameters of the bone) in relation to the 'gold standard' bone biopsy result (time frame: cross-sectional study, one week). 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 Feb 2018.
