Trial summary

Diurnal variations in the cardiovascular system apparent in healthy individuals, are different in chronic kidney disease patients. Therefore, diurnal variations in arterial stiffness may also differ in chronic kidney disease patients. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 79 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Potential patients will be identified from renal clinics at the Royal Infirmary and Western General Hospital. Suitable participants will initially be identified by a member of the direct healthcare team. Healthy volunteers will be indentified through the Clinical Research Centre community database and poster advertising at the University of Edinburgh.

Who may be able to join

  • Systolic blood pressure <160 whether or not on antihypertensive medication
  • diastolic blood pressure <100mmHg whether or not on antihypertensive medication
  • Chronic kidney disease stage 2-5

Who cannot join

  • Systolic blood pressure ≥160mmHg
  • Diastolic blood pressure ≥100mmhg
  • Significant comorbidity (investigator opinion but to include alcoholism and terminal illness)

About this study

Official title: Diurnal Variations in Arterial Stiffness in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease and Healthy Age Matched Controls

Diurnal variations in the cardiovascular system apparent in healthy individuals, are different in chronic kidney disease patients. Therefore, diurnal variations in arterial stiffness may also differ in chronic kidney disease patients. This study aims to identify and evaluate diurnal variations in arterial stiffness in chronic kidney disease patients and compare them to those in age matched healthy controls.

What is being measured

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

  1. Diurnal variations in arterial stiffness

    The principal objective of this study is to evaluate whether diurnal variations in arterial stiffness are blunted in chronic kidney disease compared to healthy age matched controls

    Measured: Over one 26 hour period arterial stiffness measurements will be obtained every 30 minutes from 7am to 12am and every 60 minutes from 12am to 7am

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Diurnal variations in aortic and brachial blood pressure

    Secondary objective of this study is to evaluate whether diurnal variations in aortic and brachial blood pressure are blunted in chronic kidney disease compared to healthy age matched controls

    Measured: Over one 26 hour period blood pressure measurements will be obtained every 30 minutes from 7am to 12am and every 60 minutes from 12am to 7am

  2. Relationship between changes in blood pressure and arterial stiffness

    Secondary objective of this study is to evaluate whether diurnal variations in arterial stiffness are dependent on changes in blood pressure in both chronic kidney disease patients and age matched controls.

    Measured: Over one 26 hour period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Kidney Disease, run by University of Edinburgh at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 17 Nov 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 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?

Diurnal variations in arterial stiffness (time frame: Over one 26 hour period arterial stiffness measurements will be obtained every 30 minutes from 7am to 12am and every 60 minutes from 12am to 7am). 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 NCT01770847, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 17 Nov 2017.
