Trial summary

Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic disease that occurs in 1 in 500 individuals and leads to kidney failure in half of all affected. Currently, no treatments exist for PKD. PKD-affected kidney cells divide and multiply inappropriately, and form fluid-filled sacs called cysts. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Water Loading on Urinary Biomarkers

Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic disease that occurs in 1 in 500 individuals and leads to kidney failure in half of all affected. Currently, no treatments exist for PKD. PKD-affected kidney cells divide and multiply inappropriately, and form fluid-filled sacs called cysts. Kidney cysts continue to grow throughout life, destroying normal kidney tissue, leading to kidney failure. Based on evidence from basic science research it is believed that drinking high amounts of water can slow the abnormal cysts growth. This study aims to look at changes in urine composition with high water intake in PKD-affected persons compared to healthy individuals.

What participants receive

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

  • WaterOther

    Participants will be first asked to drink 6 8-oz glasses of water over 2.5 hours on the first day, and then about 12 8-oz glasses of water over the course of the day for one week.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Urine cAMP Concentration and Urine Osmolality (UOsm)

    Urine cAMP (UcAMP) concentration and urine osmolality UOsm) were measured pre- and post-water loading: with 2.5L over 2 hours

    Measured: pre- and post-water loading (2 hours)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Water in people with Kidney, Polycystic, Autosomal Dominant, run by NYU Langone Health 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 4 inclusion and 6 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 6 Apr 2016. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Apr 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Change in Urine cAMP Concentration and Urine Osmolality (UOsm) (time frame: pre- and post-water loading (2 hours)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 6 Apr 2016.
