Trial summary

The mortality rate in chronic hemodialysis (CHD) patients remains excessively high and approaches 21% per year. Among the many factors that adversely affects patient outcome is uremic malnutrition, a unique form of deranged nutritional status. Read more about this study

About this study

The mortality rate in chronic hemodialysis (CHD) patients remains excessively high and approaches 21% per year. Among the many factors that adversely affects patient outcome is uremic malnutrition, a unique form of deranged nutritional status. It is associated with increased hospitalization and death risk in CHD patients. Several measures have been identified to prevent uremic malnutrition in CHD patients, including efforts to optimize dialysis regimen and dietary protein and energy intake. A large number of CHD patients suffer from uremic malnutrition in spite of these aggressive measures. The inevitable protein catabolic effects of the hemodialysis procedure are important factors leading to increased prevalence of uremic malnutrition. Preliminary data suggest that oral nutritional supplementation administered during the hemodialysis procedure counteracts these protein catabolic effects and leads to net protein anabolism in the acute setting. In this proposal, we hypothesize that Pro-Stat, a high nitrogen, enzyme-hydrolyzed, tryptophan-fortified, collagen protein supplement will reverse the net protein catabolism observed during hemodialysis procedure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Pro-Stat in people with End Stage Renal Disease, run by Vanderbilt University at 1 site in United States.

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 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jul 2011. 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 United States. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: lack of enrollment). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

net muscle protein balance (time frame: 10 hours). 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 NCT00367198, 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 12 Jul 2011.
