Trial summary

Diabetic nephropathy is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease all the world in spite of progress in new treatment for diabetes and anti hypertensive drugs. Additional treatments are thus needed to arrest the progression of diabetic nephropathy. Read more about this study

About this study

Diabetic nephropathy is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease all the world in spite of progress in new treatment for diabetes and anti hypertensive drugs. Additional treatments are thus needed to arrest the progression of diabetic nephropathy. Although there is insufficient evidence to suggest that a low-protein diet improves renal dysfunction, it is recommended as a mainstay of nutritional management. We here assessed the role of low protein diet in renal function as well as albuminuria in type 2 diabetic patients with nephropathy for a median of 5 years.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • low protein dietBehavioural

What is being measured

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

  1. annual change of GFR

  2. annual change of Ccr

  3. annual change of 1/Cr

  4. incidence rate of the doubling of sCr

  5. time to the doubling of sCr

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. urinary albumin and protein excretion

  2. % change of urinary albumin and protein excretion from baseline

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted19 Mar 2007 (estimated)
  2. Study startDec 1997
  3. Study completionAug 2006

Why it stopped: Terminated: recruiting or enrolling participants has halted and will not resume because low protein diet is not feasible nor efficious.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing low protein diet in people with Diabetic Nephropathies, run by Kanazawa Medical University.

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 6 inclusion and 14 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 19 Mar 2007. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Terminated: recruiting or enrolling participants has halted and will not resume because low protein diet is not feasible nor efficious.). 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?

annual change of GFR. The study lists 5 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 NCT00448526, 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.

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 19 Mar 2007.
