Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the improved responsiveness to treatment achieved by CsA in patients with steroid-resistant or steroid-dependent FSGS could be explained by CsA's inhibitory action on the circulating suPAR expression. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Prospective Controlled Follow-up of Serum Soluble Urokinase Receptor in the Cyclosporine A-treated Patients With Steroid-dependent and Steroid-resistant Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the improved responsiveness to treatment achieved by CsA in patients with steroid-resistant or steroid-dependent FSGS could be explained by CsA's inhibitory action on the circulating suPAR expression.

What is being measured

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

  1. serum suPAR level when proteinuria reduction >=50% or complete remission

    serum suPAR level when proteinuria reduction of >=50% or complete remission occurs within <=6 months of steroid alone or CsA plus steroid treatment

    Measured: 6 months after steriod alone or CsA plus steriod treatment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. serum suPAR level after 6 months of steroid or CsA treatment without remission

    serum suPAR level after 6 months of steroid alone or CsA plus steroid treatment without remission

    Measured: 6 months after steroid alone or CsA plus steroid treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of FSGS, run by Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital 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 4 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Apr 2017. 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. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Wei Shi, MD,PhD (86-20-8385-0849, weishi_gz@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

serum suPAR level when proteinuria reduction >=50% or complete remission (time frame: 6 months after steriod alone or CsA plus steriod treatment). 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 24 Apr 2017.
