About this study

Official title: Secondary Hyperparathyroidism Related Vascular and Bone Morbidity After Renal Transplantation - a 6 Year Follow up Retrospective Cohort Study.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the long term vascular morbidity and mortality in kidney transplant recipients based on one year post transplant levels of intact parathyroid hormone.

Read the detailed description

Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a well known complication to chronic renal failure. With impaired renal function the phosphate excretion from the kidney is reduced. Together with low levels of 25- and 1,25-vitamin D3 and hypocalcemia this uremic mineral milieu drives the release of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and the development of SHPT. PTH has many functions but acts mainly to release calcium from the skeleton, to enhance calcium uptake from the intestines (by actions on vitamin D) and to lower serum phosphate by inducing phosphaturia. SHPT has been shown to cause vascular morbidity and fractures in the chronic kidney disease (CKD) patient. After successful renal transplantation (RT) the mineral disturbances are mostly recovered and stabilized at one year post RT, but in recent years it has been shown that SHPT persists in the major part of RT-recipients even after long term follow up. This has been associated with high risk of fractures and vascular related morbidity in the post transplant period. It has also been shown that low levels of iPTH in the post-transplant period might be associated with a high risk of fractures. Because of insufficient data on PTH levels and associated morbidity there is no specific recommendations of target PTH levels in the RT-patient. This indicates that there is need for further observational studies to describe the SHPT-associated morbidity in a post transplant cohort based on stabilized levels of post transplant iPTH.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT01741064
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
PTH below target iPTH in CKDiPTH at one year post transplantation below target range of iPTH by stage of CKD (KDOQI-guidelines).
iPTH within target range of iPTH in CKDiPTH at one year post transplantation within target range of iPTH by stage of CKD (KDOQI-guidelines).
iPTH above target range of iPTH in CKDiPTH at one year post transplantation above target range of iPTH by stage of CKD (KDOQI-guidelines).

What is being measured

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

  1. First Vascular Event

    Vascular events defined as (Myocardial infarction, Stroke, Peripheral Vascular Occlusion)

    Measured: From date of transplantation to event up to 72 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Loss of Graft Function

    Start in Active Uremic Treatment (dialysis, renal transplantation)

    Measured: From date of transplantation to event up to 72 months

  2. Overall Mortality

    Mortality

    Measured: Fram date of transplantation to event up to 72 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Secondary Hyperparathyroidism and Disorder Related to Renal Transplantation, run by Skane University Hospital.

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 0 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 4 Dec 2012. 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.

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?

First Vascular Event (time frame: From date of transplantation to event up to 72 months). 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 NCT01741064, which also lists 4 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 4 Dec 2012.
