Trial summary

Kidney transplantation is the renal replacement therapy of choice for the majority of patients with end-stage kidney disease. Epidemiological studies of kidney allograft recipients can aid in the understanding of cause and effect of health and disease post-transplantation. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: An Observation Cohort Study of Kidney Allograft Recipients in England by Data Linkage Analysis

Kidney transplantation is the renal replacement therapy of choice for the majority of patients with end-stage kidney disease. Epidemiological studies of kidney allograft recipients can aid in the understanding of cause and effect of health and disease post-transplantation. The combination of health care and information technology has made the potential of transplant professionals to use health information effectively crucial to guide kidney transplant management. The aim of this study is to undertake an observational cohort study of kidney allograft recipients, supported by linking analysis across different database sources, to provide a comprehensive biomedical dataset of information.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Kidney Transplantation, run by University Hospital Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust 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 4 inclusion and 2 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 26 Feb 2013. 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?

Mortality within the first year post kidney transplantation (time frame: One year). 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 26 Feb 2013.
