Trial summary

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is one of the most common primary glomerular diseases leading to end stage renal disease. In this study, our aim is to evaluate the effects of histopathological, clinical, and laboratory features of patients with primary FSGS on the disease progression. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Predictors of Disease Progression in Patients With Primary Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is one of the most common primary glomerular diseases leading to end stage renal disease. In this study, our aim is to evaluate the effects of histopathological, clinical, and laboratory features of patients with primary FSGS on the disease progression.

Read the detailed description

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is one of the most common primary glomerular diseases leading to end stage renal disease worldwide. Numerous studies have been conducted in order to identify the etiology of this debilitating disease. Beyond the etiological research, however, few studies managed to demonstrate the possible predictors of disease progression in patients. Therefore, we aim to evaluate the effects of histopathological, clinical, and laboratory features of patients with primary FSGS on the disease progression.

What is being measured

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

  1. Reduction in kidney function and/or progression to end stage renal disease

    At least a fifty-percent reduction in baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) or development of kidney failure, which was defined as a category G5 CKD (eGFR <15 ml/min/1.73 m2).

    Measured: 5-10 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Complete remission

    Proteinuria below 0.5 g/24h and an eGFR of ≥60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 (or a return of ±15% of baseline values in those with eGFR <60 ml/min per 1.73 m2).

    Measured: 5-10 years

  2. Partial remission

    Absence of complete remission, proteinuria reduction of >50% (and a proteinuria value of <3 g/24h in patients with nephrotic range proteinuria at baseline), and stabilization (±25%) or improvement in renal function.

    Measured: 5-10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Glomerulonephritis and Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis, run by Istanbul University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 3 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 19 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

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?

Reduction in kidney function and/or progression to end stage renal disease (time frame: 5-10 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03126201, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 Feb 2018.
