About this study

Official title: oBservational Clinical Research In Chronic Kidney Disease Patients With Renal Anemia : Renal proGnosis in Patients With Hyporesponsive Anemia To Erythropoiesis Stimulating Agents, darbepoetiN Alfa

This is an observational clinical research on patients with chronic kidney disease who are not on hemodialysis and receiving darbepoetin alfa to treat diagnosed renal anemia; the major objective is to explore novel erythropoiesis stimulating agent (ESA) response index in association with deterioration of renal function as well as occurrence of cardiovascular disease events.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Renal Anemia and Chronic Kidney Disease, run by Translational Research Center for Medical Innovation, Kobe, Hyogo, Japan at 1 site in Japan.

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 5 inclusion and 7 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 18 Jun 2020. 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 Japan. 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?

Deterioration of renal function (time frame: For ninety six weeks after starting to administer darbepoetin alfa). 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 NCT02136563, 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 18 Jun 2020.
