Trial summary

Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) suffer from high morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular and infectious disease and increased risk of all-cause mortality which is mainly attributed to the disturbed immune response. More and more evident indicated that T cell dysfunction was universal in ESRD. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: T Cell Dysfunction in End-stage Renal Disease

Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) suffer from high morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular and infectious disease and increased risk of all-cause mortality which is mainly attributed to the disturbed immune response. More and more evident indicated that T cell dysfunction was universal in ESRD. However, few studies clarified the association of T cell dysfunction and clinical outcomes. This study is aim to explore valuable markers of T cell dysfunction predicting bad clinical outcomes including death, cardiovascular disease, infection and tumor. Hopefully, these finding will provide foundation for further mechanism research and better therapeutic options for ESRD patients in the future.

Read the detailed description

Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) suffer from high morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular and infectious disease and increased risk of all-cause mortality which is mainly attributed to the disturbed immune response. More and more evident indicated that T cell dysfunction was universal in ESRD. Recent evidence suggests uremia-related immune changes resemble to aging immune system, increasing immunological age of T cells by 20-30 years. As compared to an age-matched healthy control, ESRD patients present a lower thymic output of naïve T cells, a decline in the T-cell telomere length and an increase in the differentiation status towards the terminal differentiated memory phenotype with a large number of CD28-negative T cells. More importantly, these changes are strongly associated with a history of cardiovascular diseases and the occurrence of severe infectious episodes in this population, supporting the idea that T cell dysfunction is a critical feature in this population and will impact clinical outcomes profoundly. This study prospectively researched the predictive value of T cell dysfunction for all-cause mortality and clinical complication in hemodialysis (HD) patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of ESRD and T-Cell Dysfunction, run by Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital.

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 5 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 8 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 Bo Shen, MD (+86 13564608233, shen.bo@zs-hospital.sh.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Death (time frame: January 2021 to December 2023). 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 Dec 2020.
