About this study

Official title: Magnesium Supplementation for Hypomagnesemia in Chronic Kidney Disease - A Dose-Finding Trial

Randomized placebo-controlled interventional trial to investigate the effect of oral magnesium supplementation on intracellular magnesium in subjects with chronic kidney disease. We hypothesize that oral magnesium supplementation will increase intracellular magnesium in subjects with chronic kidney disease as well as increase serum magnesium.

Read the detailed description

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with increase cardiovascular morbidity and mortality independent of traditional cardiovascular risk factors due to increased vascular calcification. Epidemiological and experimental data suggest that hypermagnesemia and magnesium supplementation reduce vascular calcification in chronic kidney disease by increasing calcium/phosphate solubility in serum, by inhibiting calcium influx into vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC), by inhibiting intracellular pro-calcification enzymes in VSMC and by increasing activity of intracellular anti-calcification enzymes in VSMC. A trial to investigate the effect of oral magnesium supplementation on vascular calcification in subjects with CKD is currently being planned, but prior to initiating such a trial it is necessary to determine the dose of oral magnesium needed to increase intracellular magnesium and serum magnesium.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Mablet 360 mg in people with Chronic Kidney Disease and Hypomagnesemia, run by Zealand University Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.

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 3 inclusion and 6 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 28 Apr 2015. 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 Denmark. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Intracellular magnesium (time frame: 8 weeks). 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 28 Apr 2015.
