About this study

Official title: Involvement of Circulating Aminoterminal Propeptide of Type 3 Procollagen in Cardiovascular Events in Patients on Hemodialysis

This study evaluates whether circulating levels of aminoterminal propeptide of type III procollagen (PIIINP) can predict the cardiovascular events in hemodialysis patients.

Read the detailed description

Type III collagen abundantly exists in the cardiovascular system including the aorta and heart. The aminoterminal propeptide of type III procollagen (PIIINP) is an extension peptide of type III procollagen, which is cleaved off stoichiometrically during conversion from type III procollagen to type III collagen and liberated to serum. Elevated serum concentrations of PIIINP are considered a marker of higher collagen turnover and tissue fibrosis including the heart and vascular system. In this study, the investigators prospectively examined whether serum levels of PIIINP could be a biomarker for predicting cardiovascular events in hemodialysis patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cardiovascular events

    Cardiac deaths, non-fatal acute myocardial infarction, obstructive coronary artery disease needing intervention, vasospastic angina identified by angiography, heart failure needing hospitalization, bradycardia needing pacemaker implantation, dissecting aortic aneurysm, cardiac valvular disease needing valve replacement, peripheral artery disease needing bypass surgery or leg amputation.

    Measured: January 1, 2005 to January 31, 2011

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Events and Cardiac Fibrosis, run by Toujinkai Hospital at 1 site in Japan.

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 8 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 8 Jan 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 Japan. 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?

Cardiovascular events (time frame: January 1, 2005 to January 31, 2011). 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 8 Jan 2018.
