About this study

Official title: Patient Information About Options for Treatment (PINOT) Follow up Study: Answering Important Questions in Home Dialysis and Conservative Care.

The primary aims of the Patient INformation about Options for Treatment (PINOT) Follow-up Study are to determine the proportions of patients, identified in the 2009 PINOT cohort that:

(i)Made the transition to home dialysis, after an initial start on center-based dialysis.

Read more

(ii)Commenced dialysis, or a time-limited trial of dialysis within 3 years, after confirmed plans for conservative care.

The hypotheses to be tested in the PINOT follow-up study are:

  1. 50% of stage 5 chronic kidney disease patients who plan for home dialysis do not commence home dialysis within 3 years, and instead remain on centre-based haemodialysis; and,
  2. less than 15% of stage 5 chronic kidney disease patients who plan for conservative care commence dialysis within 3 years.
Read the detailed description

The secondary aims of the follow-up study include:

(i) To assess the primary reasons patients did not transition to home dialysis, in the planned home dialysis group.

(ii)To compare 3 and 5 year survival rates among patients who commenced conservative care and patients who commenced renal replacement therapy.

(iii) To assess the types of dialysis utilisation over a 5 year time period among the total cohort of patients.

(iv)To determine how renal palliative care services were engaged for conservative care patients, and document the patient's place of death (i.e. hospital, hospice, home with community palliative care).

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The proportion of patients who commence dialysis, or have a time-limited trial of dialysis within 3 and 5 years, after a confirmed plan for conservative care.

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Kidney Disease, run by University of Sydney at 2 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Australia, United Kingdom. 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?

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 proportion of patients who make the transition to home dialysis, after an initial start on center-based hemodialysis. (time frame: 5 years). 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 NCT01768624, 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?
