Trial summary

Proteinuria is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and for renal disease progression. More proteinuria is associated with faster progression, whereas treatments that reduce proteinuria are renoprotective in both diabetic and non diabetic chronic kidney disease.

About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Randomized, Cross-over, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Assess the Antiproteinuric Effect of Selective Vitamin d Receptor Activation by Paricalcitol in Type 2 Diabetes Patients on Low or High Sodium Diet and Stable Ras Inhibitor Therapy

Proteinuria is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and for renal disease progression. More proteinuria is associated with faster progression, whereas treatments that reduce proteinuria are renoprotective in both diabetic and non diabetic chronic kidney disease. Of note, lower the residual proteinuria achieved by treatment slower is the disease progression in the long term. On the basis of the above findings, proteinuria has become a target of renoprotective therapy.

Among different antihypertensive medications, those that inhibit the Renin Angiotensin System, such as angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE)inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), are those that at comparable blood pressure control, more effectively reduce proteinuria and slow renal disease progression. Thus they have become the key component of renoprotective therapy in patients with proteinuric chronic kidney disease. Observational studies found that their effectiveness, however, is limited or even fully blunted in patients who eat large amount of salt.

Experimental evidence indicates a renoprotective role of the vitamin D system in chronic renal disease. A recent randomized, controlled trial, add-on therapy with selective Vitamin D receptor activator paricalcitol showed an additive antiproteinuric effect in subjects with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease on background Renin-angiotensin-system inhibitor therapy. This effect, however, was largely restricted to subjects with daily sodium intake exceeding 12 grams and was negligible in those with lower sodium intake. Thus, treatment with paricalcitol appears to be effective in particular in those patients who do not appreciably benefit of renin angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors therapy because of high salt intake. Thus, whether the antiproteinuric effect of paricalcitol is modified by concomitant salt intake in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on background RAS inhibitors therapy, is worth investigating.

The broad aim of this study is to evaluate the interaction between paricalcitol therapy and sodium intake in type 2 diabetes patients with proteinuric kidney disease on stable background RAS inhibitor therapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Paricalcitol in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by Mario Negri Institute for Pharmacological Research at 6 sites in Italy.

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 11 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 3 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Italy. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Changes in urinary albumin excretion from baseline at 4 month. (time frame: At baseline and 1,2,3 and 4 month.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01393808, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 3 Mar 2017.
