Trial summary

The Triglycerides (TG) to High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio is a feature of insulin resistance and an independent predictor of cardiovascular risk. The investigators aimed to evaluate the relationship between TG/HDL-C ratio and the endothelial functions in patients with CKD. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Prospective Cohort Study to Investigate the Role of Plasma Triglyceride/High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Ratio To Predict Cardiovascular Outcomes in Chronic Kidney Disease.

The Triglycerides (TG) to High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio is a feature of insulin resistance and an independent predictor of cardiovascular risk. The investigators aimed to evaluate the relationship between TG/HDL-C ratio and the endothelial functions in patients with CKD.

Read the detailed description

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk is substantially increased in subjects with chronic kidney disease (CKD).The reasons for the elevated risk of CVD in patients with CKD are not fully elucidated. There is not a good prognostic tool for the prediction of increased cardiovascular risk in CKD. A simple, widely available, relatively inexpensive, and generally reproducible marker to predict the CVD risk in subjects with CKD is needed.

The Triglycerides (TG) to High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio is a feature of insulin resistance and an independent predictor of cardiovascular risk. No study has been performed so far, to evaluate the role of TG/HDL ratio to predict the CVD risk in patients with CKD.

This study is designed to evaluate the relationship between TG/HDL-C ratio and the endothelial functions in patients with CKD.

What is being measured

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

  1. All cause mortality

    The COX analysis was performed in order to establish which covariates were independent predictors of cardiovascular outcomes. Kaplan Meier survival curves are generated to show the impact of the TG/HDL ratio on the cumulative survival of the cohort. The predictive power of the median TG/HDL ratio in each CKD stage for all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events are measured.

    Measured: 30 months

  2. Endothelial functions assessed by flow mediated dilatation and serum ADMA measurement

    The predictive role of TG/HDL ratio on endothelial functions (ADMA and flow mediated dilatation) is determined by univariate and multivariate analyses.

    Measured: Once in recruitment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Kidney Disease, run by Gulhane School of Medicine at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 14 Apr 2014. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

All cause mortality (time frame: 30 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02113462, 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 14 Apr 2014.
