About this study

A prospective, randomized, open-label, Single-center clinical trial to determine whether Enalapril or Enalapril plus Losartan effect on Peritoneal membrane transportation.

Read the detailed description

Detailed description:

Many peritoneal dialysis patients suffer from uremia due to inadequate dialysis or volume overload caused by failure of peritoneal membrane transport.One of the most important etiologies of peritoneal membrane failure are unavoidable to use high glucose-containing dialysate solution that induce injury to mesothelial cell.Previous data found that injured mesothelial cell produces Angiotensin (Ang) II to induce peritoneal inflammation and fibrosis. Blockade of the renin-angiotensin system by angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition(ACEI) or angiotensin receptor antagonism (ARB) play a major role to slow this effect.

Although many trials in animal study have proved the benefit of ACEI and ARB in peritoneal membrane transport but clinical evidences in human are controversy. Up to now, all previous trials have limitation. First,The trials have small number of population(less than 20 in prospective randomized controlled trial). Second, The trials have multiple confounders on the study population because of the study include old case (that on peritoneal dialysis for many years) and new case (that just start treatment less than 1 year). Third, short duration of study(less than 3 months) to see the significant effect of RAAS blockade on peritoneal membrane transport. Forth, most study use dialysate albumin loss as an index of peritoneal membrane transport ,that less sensitivity to predict peritoneal membrane function. Fifth,no previous trials are attempted to study the effect of combination between ACEI and ARB. Therefore,we design to study the effect of both ACEI and ARB in a larger number of population, only in new case which are just recently found to be on peritoneal dialysis, our study is taken in longer duration and use both modified peritoneal equilibrium test and dialysate CA125 as an index of peritoneal membrane (physiology and anatomic index).This research will demonstrate efficacy of Enalapril and Losartan on Peritoneal membrane transportation lead to improve quality of life in CAPD patients.

What participants receive

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

  • EnalaprilDrug

    Also called Anapril

    Patients with hypertension will take 20-40mg enalapril per day, antihypertensive agents other than ACE inhibitors and ARBs and spironolactone will be allowed. Doses are adjusted appropriately to achieve and maintain the target blood pressure of 130/80 mmHg

  • Enalapril plus LosartanDrug

    Also called Anapril plus Loranta

    Patients with hypertension will take 20-40mg enalapril plus 25-50mg losartan per day, antihypertensive agents other than ACE inhibitors and ARBs and spironolactone will be allowed. Doses are adjusted appropriately to achieve and maintain the target blood pressure of 130/80 mmHg

  • PlaceboDrug

    Also called Control

    Patients in the control group will administer antihypertensive agents, except ACE inhibitors and ARBs and spironolactone. Doses are adjusted appropriately to achieve and maintain the target blood pressure of 130/80 mmHg

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Enalapril and Enalapril plus Losartan in people with Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis, run by Chulalongkorn University at 1 site in Thailand.

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 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 May 2010. 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 Thailand. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Talerngsak Kanjanabuch, Assist. Prf. (662-2564321 ext. 211, golfnephro@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in dialysate CA-125 and modified peritoneal equilibrium test (time frame: 12 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 12 May 2010.
