Trial summary

Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) is a commonly used treatment for end stage renal failure, and the most commonly used dialysate contains unphysiological amounts of glucose, a high proportion of which is absorbed. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: An Investigation of the Effects of Different Dialysis Prescriptions on Systemic Glucose Metabolism and Mortality in Non-diabetic Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) is a commonly used treatment for end stage renal failure, and the most commonly used dialysate contains unphysiological amounts of glucose, a high proportion of which is absorbed. Recent analysis of the Global Fluid Study, has established that in non-diabetic prevalent patients on PD a random glucose level is dependent on dialysate glucose load and is a predictor of death. By utilising clinical data and additional biosamples collected for the NIHR funded PD-CRAFT study, the investigators aim to confirm this finding, define the relationship between dialysate glucose exposure according to prescription regimes and glycaemia, define the most useful biomarker to monitor glycaemia , and establish the role that impaired insulin sensitivity plays in blood glucose levels. Furthermore the investigators will explore the hypothesis that insulin resistance is associated with disturbance of the carnitine/acetyl-carnitine equilibrium that might benefit from intra-peritoneal carnitine supplementation.

PD-CRAFT is an observational cohort study of 3000 prevalent PD patients collecting detailed clinical data, including glucose exposure and samples of dialysate. and blood which will be stored in the UK BioCentre. Follow up is for up to 2 years or endpoint (death, technique failure).

Multivariate regression will be used to establish determinants of the non-fasting blood glucose and other measures of glycaemia, in particular different dialysis regimes, (e.g. modality, dwell lengths, fill volumes, and dialysate type and concentration specifically seeking to identify prescriptions that minimise the systemic effects) combined with measures of insulin resistance. The investigators will establish whether blood glucose predicts survival in an adjusted analysis (~300 endpoints needed) using Cox regression and explore the relationship of other biomarkers to survival.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Glucose Metabolism Disorders, run by Keele University 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 1 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 Jan 2022. 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 (time frame: Patients will be followed up for the duration of the study period, an expected average of 24 months). 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 Jan 2022.
