About this study

Official title: A Prospective Controlled Randomized Multicenter Trial to Evaluate the Effect of a Structurized Multifactorial Behavior Modifying Consultation and Support Programme DiaNe for People With Diabetic Nephropathy

This study is designated to evaluate the effect of a patients' educational program called DiaNe® for consultation and support people with diabetic kidney disease in an early stage. The aim of the study is to examine if the program is suitable to stop deterioration of kidney function and to maintain or improve glycemic control. The consultation and support program DiaNe® substantially contributes to a better understanding of the affected clients for this complex clinical picture, allows them for specific interventions and creates the rationale for an active therapeutic relationship.

Read the detailed description

According to statistics diabetes mellitus is considered to be the leading cause for end stage renal disease in Germany, approximately 35% of the patients starting on dialysis are affected by diabetes-induced nephropathy. This can be seen in countries all over the world. This situation has been known for years. To date, neither structured intervention methods nor educational programs have been designed for and targeting those affected, which would consequently allow for structured, multifactorial intervention at an early stage of diabetic nephropathy. Multifactorial interventions, as published in the Steno-2 trial, appear to be highly effective with regard to long-term complications of diabetes. In order to realize this approach for the affected as well as the medical staff caring for patients with diabetes-induced nephropathy we developed DiaNe®, a consultation and support program, which is designed to give detailed information to the affected in order to induce behavioral changes. We were able to show a clinically significant reduction of microalbuminuria within a first monocenter evaluation trial. We wanted to verify this effect by means of a prospective multicenter randomized cohort trial according to GCP-ICH guidelines.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing DiaNe consultation and support program in people with Diabetic Nephropathy, run by DiaNe HCM GmbH at 1 site in Germany.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Oct 2008. 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 Germany. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 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?

deterioration of kidney function in diabetic nephropathy (time frame: 13 months). 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 NCT00782847, 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 31 Oct 2008.
