About this study

Official title: Does Moderate Physical Activity in Chronic Hemodialysis Patients Reduce Inflammation Via Inhibition of Proinflammatory Monocyte Activity?

The purpose of this study is to observe a potential benefit of moderate physical activity by using bed mounted cycles during hemodialysis treatment sessions on inflammatory markers in the blood of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

Read the detailed description

Patients with ESRD on chronic hemodialysis patients frequently have elevated markers of inflammation (e.g., serum CRP values) and accumulation of proinflammatory monocyte populations in the circulation. The level of inflammation is highly predictive for cardiovascular disease and mortality. Physical activity has been shown to improve dialysis efficacy by improving the elimination of retention solutes. In healthy individuals, sports activity influences inflammatory immune parameters. The study will observe the influence of moderate physical activity (using a bed mounted cycle for 30min during dialysis thrice weekly) on circulating monocyte subpopulations and inflammatory proteins over a 9 month period in 16 chronic hemodialysis patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of End-stage Renal Disease and Hemodialysis, run by Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg 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 4 inclusion and 8 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 18 Jan 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 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.

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?

Composition of monocyte subpopulations as defined by CD14 and CD16 expression (time frame: 6 months). 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 18 Jan 2012.
