Trial summary

Secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is a known complication of chronic renal failure. Elevated concentrations of parathyroid hormone (PTH) play a role not only in the pathogenesis of renal bone disease, but also in the development of cardiovascular risk factors such as disturbed lipid metabolism, glucose intolerance… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Observational Study to Evaluate the Effect of Parathyroidectomy on Renal Function, Endothelial Function and Blood Pressure

Secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is a known complication of chronic renal failure. Elevated concentrations of parathyroid hormone (PTH) play a role not only in the pathogenesis of renal bone disease, but also in the development of cardiovascular risk factors such as disturbed lipid metabolism, glucose intolerance, and hypertension. HPT is also known to play an important role in the development of structural abnormalities of both large arteries and the heart (left ventricular hypertrophy, interstitial fibrosis). In the last couple of years there has been increasing evidence from animal studies that the endothelium is a target organ of PTH.

Hypothesis: PTH has clinically relevant effects on renal hemodynamics, renal function and endothelial function.

  2. To evaluate the effect of PTX on endothelial function in stable renal transplant recipients/chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 5 patients
  3. To evaluate the effect of PTX on blood pressure in stable renal transplant recipients/CKD stage 5 patients

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hyperparathyroidism and Hypertension, run by Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven at 1 site in Belgium.

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 4 inclusion and 0 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 30 May 2012. 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 Belgium. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Pieter Evenepoel, MD, PhD (003216344580, pieter.evenepoel@uz.kuleuven.ac.be), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00452049, 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 30 May 2012.
