About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy Evaluation of Restricted Protein Dietary Supplemented With α-keto Acid on Protecting Residual Renal Function in CAPD Patients--A Prospective, Double Blind Randomized, Parallel Control, Multi-center Clinical Trial

The prospective, double blind randomized, parallel control, and multi-center clinical trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of α-keto acid with restricted protein diet on protecting residual renal function in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients.

Read the detailed description

Residual renal function (RRF) is associated with cardiovascular complication, nutritional status, incidence of peritonitis, and quality of life in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Therefore, RRF is an important determinant of mortality and morbidity in PD patients.

Previous studies have suggested that dietary protein restriction supplemented with α-keto acids may slow the loss of RRF in chronic kidney disease patients. However, these trials are small sample and short-time research. In PD patients, there is very few reports to indicate the effect of α-keto acid with restricted protein diet on RRF.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of α-keto acid with restricted protein diet on protecting residual renal function in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients.This is a prospective, double blind randomized, parallel control, and multi-center clinical study. 160 patients who meet Inclusion/Exclusion criteria will be randomized into α-Keto Acid group or control group at the ratio of 1:1. The α-Keto Acid group will use compound α-Keto Acid plus restricted protein diet, while control group will use placebo plus restricted protein diet.The α-Keto Acid dosage is 100mg/kg/d daily. The restricted protein dosage is 1g/kg/d. The safety and efficacy of α-Keto Acid with restricted protein diet on RRF will be evaluated after 1 year treatment.

What participants receive

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

  • α-Keto Acid with restricted protein dietDrug

    Also called Test Group

    α-Keto Acid: The daily dose of compound α-Keto Acid is 100mg/kg/d. The total daily dose will be divided into three times a day.

    Restricted Protein Diet: Diet contain protein 1.0g/kg/d

  • Placebo plus restricted protein dietDrug

    Also called Control Group

    placebo: The daily dose of placebo is 100mg/kg/d. The total daily dose will be divided into three times a day.

    Diet contain protein 1.0 g/kg/d.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
α-Keto Acid plus restricted protein dietActive comparatorParticipants randomized to this group will receive 12 months treatment of α-Keto Acid. The dose of α-Keto Acid is 100mg/kg per day and will divided into three times per day, and the α-Keto Acid will be asked to be taken during the meal. In addition, the participants will be asked to restrict the protein intake. The protein intake is restricted as 1g/kg/d.

Placebo plus restricted protein dietPlacebo comparatorAll participants will receive 12 months treatment of placebo, at the same time they will be asked to restrict the protein intake.The dose of placebo is 100mg/kg per day, and the protein intake is restricted as 1g/kg/d.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing α-Keto Acid with restricted protein diet in people with Renal Function Disorder, run by Sun Yat-sen University at 1 site in China.

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 12 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 22 May 2015. 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 China. 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 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?

The longitudinal change in residual glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (time frame: Every 3 months up to 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 22 May 2015.
