About this study

Official title: REVEAL-CKD: A Retrospective, Multinational Observational Study to Determine the Prevalence and Consequences of Undiagnosed Chronic Kidney Disease

This is a retrospective, multinational, non-interventional, observational study. A series of cohort studies will be conducted to assess the prevalence of undiagnosed stage 3 CKD in each region. The study will also assess the current state of CKD management in patients with undiagnosed CKD

Read the detailed description

This study is a retrospective, multinational, non-interventional observational study. The study does not attempt to test any specific a priori hypothesis; it is descriptive only and will collect data under conditions of routine medical care. Relevant secondary databases will be identified, and a series of cohort studies will be conducted to assess the prevalence of undiagnosed CKD. The study will also assess the current state of CKD management in patients with undiagnosed CKD.

Primary Objectives

  1. Estimate the point prevalence of undiagnosed stage 3 CKD (proportion of patients with eGFR measurements indicating stage 3 CKD with no corresponding CKD diagnostic code either before or up to six months after the second abnormal eGFR value)
  2. Describe time to CKD diagnosis in patients with no prior CKD diagnosis code at index date (time of second qualifying eGFR), overall and by patient characteristics

Secondary Objectives

  1. Assess trends in the prevalence (point prevalence) of undiagnosed CKD by calendar year
  2. Describe baseline characteristics among those with undiagnosed versus diagnosed CKD
  3. Assess CKD management and monitoring practices (post index date) in patients with diagnosed versus undiagnosed CKD

Exploratory objectives (pending feasibility)

  1. Describe the risk of selected adverse clinical outcomes longitudinally among those with undiagnosed versus diagnosed CKD
  2. Describe HCRU associated with undiagnosed versus diagnosed CKD
  3. Assess association between the timing of the CKD diagnosis and the risk of selected adverse clinical outcomes and HCRU in patients with no CKD diagnosis code prior to the index date
  4. Describe health care costs associated with undiagnosed versus diagnosed CKD
  5. For CKD patients with eGFR 25-75 mL/min/1.73m2 and urine albumin creatinine ratio (UACR) 200 - 5000 mg/g (DAPA-CKD trial-like population):
  6. Estimate the point prevalence of undiagnosed CKD
  7. Describe the risk of selected adverse clinical outcomes longitudinally among those with undiagnosed CKD
  8. Describe HCRU and costs associated with undiagnosed CKD

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of undiagnosed stage 3 chronic kidney disease (CKD)

    Undiagnosed stage 3A-3B CKD identified as having no healthcare encounter with a diagnosis code for CKD any time before or up to six months post index date (date of second consecutive estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] value indicating stage 3 CKD recorded at least 90 days after the first abnormal eGFR value), assessed overall and by calendar year

    Measured: From 2015 assessed throughout the study, up to a maximum of 8 years

  2. Time to CKD diagnosis

    Time to CKD diagnosis in patients no CKD diagnosis code any time prior to laboratory measurements indicating stage 3 CKD

    Measured: From second abnormal eGFR value until the date of CKD diagnosis or end of follow-up, assessed throughout the study period, up to a maximum of 5 years

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Describe proportion of patients comorbidities and other patient characteristics

    Describe patient characteristics including demographics, clinical assessments, family history, procedures, laboratory measurements, treatment patterns and clinical history (comorbidities) stratified by CKD diagnosis status

    Measured: From 2015 assessed throughout the study, up to a maximum of 8 years

  2. Proportion of patients monitored for kidney function and complications

    • Serum Cr test (outpatient)
    • Patients receiving a UACR test (outpatient)
    • Serum calcium
    • Phosphate
    • Albumin
    • Bicarbonate
    • Potassium
    • Hemoglobin
    • Albuminuria

    Measured: From six months after the second abnormal eGFR measurement, assessed throughout the study period until end of follow-up, up to a maximum 18 months

  3. Proportion of patients tested for CKD

    • UACR test

    Measured: From six months after the second abnormal eGFR measurement, assessed throughout the study period until end of follow-up, up to a maximum 6 months

  4. Proportion of patients prescribed selected medications

    • Statin prescription
    • Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEis) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs)
    • Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors
    • Vaccination (influenza)

    Measured: From six months after the second abnormal eGFR measurement, assessed throughout the study period until the end of follow-up, up to a maximum 5 years

  5. Proportion of patients monitored for high blood pressure

    • Patients receiving BP measurement
    • BP measurement ≤140/90
    • BP measurement ≤ 130/80 in patients with evidence of albuminuria and/or diabetes

    Measured: From six months after the second abnormal eGFR measurement, assessed throughout the study period until end of follow-up, up to a maximum 5 years

  6. Proportion of patients monitored for glycaemic control

    • HbA1c test in patients with diabetes

    Measured: From six months after the second abnormal eGFR measurement, assessed throughout the study period until end of follow-up, up to a maximum 5 years

  7. Proportion of patients receiving kidney function monitoring after initiation of angiotensin receptor blocker or angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors

    • An outpatient serum creatinine measurement

    Measured: From six months after the second abnormal eGFR measurement, assessed throughout the study period until end of follow-up, up to a maximum 5 years

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 2 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 16 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in United States, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China and 6 more countries. 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?

Prevalence of undiagnosed stage 3 chronic kidney disease (CKD) (time frame: From 2015 assessed throughout the study, up to a maximum of 8 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04847531, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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.
