About this study

Official title: Everolimus on CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) Progression in ADPKD Patients

The study will evaluate whether the administration of everolimus (1.5 mg/day) can slow down the progression of CKD in ADPKD patients.

Read the detailed description

Considering the inhibitor activity of Everolimus on mTOR, our hypothesis is to evaluate its possible utility on the progression of CKD in ADPKD patients by reducing the rate of increase of renal cysts.

What is being measured

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

  1. Reduction of GFR (according to MDRD formula) during a two-year follow up

    Measured: Two year-followup

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. reduction of creatinine clearance and GFR (according to Cockcroft-Gault formula) during a two-year follow up

    Measured: Two year-followup

  2. changes in kidney size and renal and liver cysts dimensions evaluated by NMR at basal and at the end of the study

    Measured: Two year-followup

  3. safety profile of everolimus (leucopenia, thrombocytopenia, lipid profile and other adverse events

    Measured: Two year-followup

  4. evaluation of phosphatemia, phosphaturia and urinary cytokines on primary end point

    Measured: Two year-followup

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Everolimus in people with Polycystic Kidney Diseases, run by A. Manzoni Hospital at 7 sites in Italy.

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 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jun 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in Italy. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 was stopped early (reason given: After primary completition date, experimental drug was no longer available). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Reduction of GFR (according to MDRD formula) during a two-year follow up (time frame: Two year-followup). 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 23 Jun 2015.
