About this study

The trial is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, open study. A total of 500 elderly patients aged over 75 years with renal insufficiency stage 5 will be included in the study after signed informed consent. Patients will be randomized 1/1 in two arms : 250 patients in the "exclusive nephrology follow-up" arm will continue their usual follow-up; 250 patients in the "geriatric follow-up" arm will have both their usual nephrology follow-up and a geriatric follow-up.

The aim of the study is to determine if a systematized gerontologist evaluation delay the occurrence of a composite primary endpoint : death, dementia, depression and severe dependency. The hypothesis is that the functional and vital prognosis of a patient with renal insufficiency depends not only on common and classical factors but also on cognitive and psychological functions and dependence, particularly in elderly patients.

What participants receive

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

  • shorter testsOther

    Geriatric evaluation with MMS, GDS and ADL scoring

  • initial complete geriatric testsOther

    evaluation of cognitive functions, psychological functions, dependency in activities, vision, audition, mobility and nutritional status : only at the first visit

  • follow-up complete geriatric testsOther

    evaluation of cognitive functions, psychological functions, dependency in activities, vision, audition, mobility and nutritional status : every 6 month for 3 years

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
exclusive nephrology follow-upPlacebo comparator250 patients will be included and randomized in the "exclusive nephrology follow-up" arm will continue their usual nephrology follow-up with consultations every 6 months during 3 years for dialysis patients or with consultations every 6 months before dialysis, 3 months after starting dialysis and every 6 months for a total duration of 3 years for non-dialysis patients. In addition to their nephrology consultations, patients will benefit from a geriatric evaluation with MMS, GDS and ADL scoring.
Receives: Other: shorter tests; Other: initial complete geriatric tests
geriatric follow-upExperimental250 patients will be included and randomized in the "geriatric follow-up" arm. They will continue their usual nephrology follow-up with consultations every 6 months during 3 years for dialysis patients or with consultations every 6 months before dialysis, 3 months after starting dialysis and every 6 months for a total duration of 3 years for non-dialysis patients. About geriatric evaluation Patients randomized in this arm will also have more complete tests to evaluate cognitive functions (memory, language and movements), psychological functions (depression and anxiety) and dependency in activities of daily living. Other tests will allow evaluate vision, audition, mobility and nutritional status.
Receives: Other: shorter tests; Other: initial complete geriatric tests; Other: follow-up complete geriatric tests

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing shorter tests, initial complete geriatric tests and follow-up complete geriatric tests in people with Chronic Renal Insufficiency and Chronic Kidney Failure, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice at 1 site in France.

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 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Sep 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 France. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. 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?

death (time frame: every 6 month for 3 years since inclusion). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 15 Sep 2016.
