Trial summary

Gitelman syndrome is a salt wasting tubulopathy caused by mutations in the SLC12A3 gene coding for the thiazide sensitive sodium chloride cotransporter. This disease mimics the chronic treatment with thiazide diuretics and is characterized by renal hypokalemia, low to normal blood pressure, hypocalciuria and… Read more about this study

About this study

Read the detailed description

Gitelman syndrome (GS), is an autosomal recessive salt wasting tubulopathy caused mainly by loss of function mutations in the SLC12A3 gene coding for the thiazide sensitive sodium-chloride cotransporter (NCC). Thus, GS mimics a chronic treatment with high doses of thiazide diuretics. NCC is expressed in the distal convoluted tubule, which is responsible for 7% of NaCl reabsorption. GS is the more frequent hereditary tubulopathie with estimated prevalence of 1/40000, which implicates that 1% of general population are heterozygous carriers (600 000 in France). Previous publications suggest that the apparently asymptomatic heterozygous carriers could present some clinical traits of GS or chronic thiazide treatment. These including: beneficial aspects (low blood pressure, low urinary calcium excretions) or metabolic risks (hypokalemia, insulin resistance). Nevertheless, these studies do not evaluate all the aspects and blood pressure was evaluated once in hospital setting. This study aims to compare home monitoring blood pressure; salt balance; potassium, glucose lipid and mineral metabolism and vascular function in 80 heterozygous carriers, 80 GS patients and 80 controls persons (without mutations in SLC12A3 gene).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 16 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in France. 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?

Systolic blood pressure evaluated by self-measurement (time frame: 3 days). 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 NCT02035046, which also lists 6 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 16 Jan 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
