What is being measured

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

  1. changes in proteinuria

    comparison of proteinuria amount checked by random urine protein/creatinine and 24hour urine protein

    Measured: random urine protein/creatinine ratio every 2month and 24hour urine protein every 6month

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. changes in serum creatinine

    comparison of renal function checked by serum creatinine and calculated renal function by MDRD equation

    Measured: serum creatinine every 2month

  2. changes in systolic blood pressure and diastolic pressure

    check systolic and diastolic blood pressure

    Measured: check blood pressure at very first visit and every 2-month

  3. changes in urinary biomarkers (angiotensinogen, angiotensin II, TGF-beat, IL-6, MCP-1, TNF-alpha)

    urine marker check every 6month

    Measured: every 6month

  4. changes in serum 25(OH)2D3, 1,25(OH)2D3, parathyroid hormone

    serum marker check every 6month

    Measured: every 6month

  5. changes in serum inflammatory markers (hsCRP, IL-6)

    serum marker check every 6month

    Measured: every 6month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Calcitriol in people with IgA Nephropathy, run by Yonsei University at 7 sites in South Korea.

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 3 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 7 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 7 sites in South Korea. 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?

changes in proteinuria (time frame: random urine protein/creatinine ratio every 2month and 24hour urine protein every 6month). 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 7 Sep 2016.
