Trial summary

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) become the therapy of choice for renal stone. Although providing good results, stone recurrence is usually found as the therapies do not change the underlying metabolic abnormality. Read more about this study

About this study

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) become the therapy of choice for renal stone. Although providing good results, stone recurrence is usually found as the therapies do not change the underlying metabolic abnormality. Among the metabolic disorders, hypocitraturia is an important risk factor for calcium nephrolithiasis. This study evaluate the preventive effects of potassium sodium citrate on stone recurrence as well as stone growth post ESWL or PCNL, in patients with calcium-containing stones.

What participants receive

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

  • Potassium-sodium citrateDrug

    Also called Uralyt-U

    The treated group was given oral potassium-sodium citrate 81 mEq/day The control group received no treatment

What is being measured

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

  1. rate of stone recurrence or stone growth

    The patients were evaluated at 6 months after the initial treatment for serum chemistry and urinalysis. After 12 months, all patients were evaluated for serum chemistry, urinalysis, 24-hour urine study and plain KUB.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Potassium-sodium citrate in people with Kidney Calculi, run by Ouiheng International Healthcare Co., Ltd.

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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Apr 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 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?

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?

rate of stone recurrence or stone growth (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 5 Apr 2011.
