Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: patients from dialysis clinics

Who may be able to join

  • Aged 18 years or older;
  • Chronic maintenance dialysis of at least 3 months' duration;
  • Mental competence;
  • Willingness to participate in the study;
  • Calcidiol levels within normal range.

Who cannot join

  • Pregnancy;
  • Systemic illnesses or organ diseases that may affect bone (except type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus);
  • Clinical condition that may limit study participation (e.g., unstable angina, respiratory distress, infections).
  • Chronic alcoholism and/or drug addiction;
  • Participation in a study of an investigational drug during the past 90 days;
  • Allergy to tetracycline.

  • Planning to move out of the area within 2 years of the study;
  • On active transplant list;
  • Treatment within last 6 months with drugs that may affect bone metabolism (except for treatment with calcitriol, vitamin D analogs and/or calcimimetics).
  • Calcidiol level below the normal range. The current routine clinical practice in our dialysis clinics is to check calcidiol status twice yearly and supplement with vitamin D according to serum calcidiol levels. It is therefore unlikely that a substantial number of patients will be excluded due to this exclusion criterion.

About this study

There are two major goals of this project:

  1. Comparison of DXA and QCT for diagnosis of bone loss in CKD-5 patients and determination of the prevalence of low bone turnover in CKD-5 patients with bone loss.
  2. Identification of the optimal combination of noninvasive tests for definition of the turnover component of ROD.
Medical subject headings
Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of DXA and QCT for diagnosis of bone loss in CKD-5 patients and determination of the prevalence of low bone turnover in CKD-5 patients with bone loss.

    Because each method (QCT or DXA) yields a dichotomous response (bone loss: yes or no), the proportion of patients with a bone loss will be compared between the 2 methods by using the McNemar statistic for correlated proportions.

    Measured: 4 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Identification of the optimal combination of noninvasive tests for definition of the turnover component of ROD.

    A stepwise logistic model will be used to determine which combination of PTH and bone markers best predicts low bone turnover.

    Measured: 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Renal Osteodystrophy, run by Hartmut Malluche, MD 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 5 inclusion and 10 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 5 May 2017. 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?

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?

Comparison of DXA and QCT for diagnosis of bone loss in CKD-5 patients and determination of the prevalence of low bone turnover in CKD-5 patients with bone loss. (time frame: 4 years). 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 5 May 2017.
