Trial summary

This pilot study aims to evaluate in an exploratory way the predictive power of a novel in vitro test (T50 Calcification Inhibition Test, T50 CIT), which measures the mineralization inhibition capacity of blood, in terms of its association with time to all-cause mortality in haemodialysis patients.

About this study

Official title: Pilot Medical Evaluation of the T50 Calcification Inhibition Test in NephroCare Clinics

This pilot study aims to evaluate in an exploratory way the predictive power of a novel in vitro test (T50 Calcification Inhibition Test, T50 CIT), which measures the mineralization inhibition capacity of blood, in terms of its association with time to all-cause mortality in haemodialysis patients.

Read the detailed description

Disturbances in mineral and bone metabolism centrally contribute to the exceedingly elevated risk for cardiovascular (CV) disease in dialysis patients. A novel in vitro test (T50 Calcification Inhibition Test, T50 CIT) has been developed, which measures the mineralization inhibition capacity of blood. This pilot study aims to exploratory examine the predictive power of baseline T50 CIT and fetuin-A (protein which is centrally involved in the inhibition of the formation of crystalline hydroxyapatite) values in terms of their association with all-cause mortality in an unselected cohort of haemodialysis patients. Moreover, the study shall investigate the association between baseline T50 CIT and fetuin-A values with CV related mortality, all-cause hospitalization and CV related hospitalization. Finally, the study aims to compare the predictive power of T50 CIT values with a set of six established calcification-related parameters (albumin, phosphate, calcium, magnesium, bicarbonate and fetuin-A). After baseline blood sampling the patients will be followed for 2 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing T50 Calcification Inhibition Test (CIT) in people with Renal Failure and Cardiovascular Diseases, run by Fresenius Medical Care Deutschland GmbH at 8 sites in Spain.

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 4 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 9 Feb 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Spain. 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?

T50 CIT values (time frame: Baseline after signed informed consent). 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 NCT03292029, 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 9 Feb 2022.
