Trial summary

A study conducted in the laboratory revealed the existence of a "window" during which patients with renal failure appreciate the protein-rich foods. This period, located immediately after the dialysis, is likely related to the purification of plasma products resulting from protein catabolism. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Influence of Chronic Renal Failure and Hemodialysis on Liking and Wanting for Foods

A study conducted in the laboratory revealed the existence of a "window" during which patients with renal failure appreciate the protein-rich foods. This period, located immediately after the dialysis, is likely related to the purification of plasma products resulting from protein catabolism. It therefore appears necessary to understand the mechanisms that may explain these changes by measurements of ghrelin (orexigenic hormone), leptin (anorectic hormone) and plasma amino acids.

Read the detailed description

In 24 patients with renal failure treated by hemodialysis, it is evaluated (at 8:00 am and at 11:00 am), a day without hemodialysis and another day after the hemodialysis:

  • Hunger sensation,
  • Olfactory liking assessed separately for 6 foods (2 carbohydrate-, 2 fat- and 2 protein-rich foods) and 2 non-alimentary products,
  • Food wanting evaluated by the sequential presentation of 18 images of food (6 fat-, 6 carbohydrate- and 6 protein-rich foods),
  • Two blood samples for the assays of leptin, ghrelin, creatinine, albumin and pre-albumin as well as plasma amino acids. 24 healthy subjects are also evaluated in order to compare the results from patients to those of control subjects.

What is being measured

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

  1. Amount of wanting for protein-rich foods

    The wanting is determined after the successive presentation (for ten seconds) of 18 pictures of food. For each food the question is "at the present time, do you want to eat this food? ". For each photo, subjects place a vertical line on a 10 cm horizontal line bounded at its ends by "no desire" and "extremely envy" (visual analog scale).The wanting for proteins is the mean score for the desire to eat protein-rich foods.

    Measured: 20 min (from 8:00 to 8:20 am) and 20 min (from 11:00 to 11:20 am)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Concentrations of the plasma amino-acids

    Variation in concentrations of amino-acids during the morning a day with hemodialysis and a day without hemodialysis, and comparison with plasma AAs from healthy subjects

    Measured: 8:30 am and 11:30 am

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Renal Failure, run by University of Burgundy at 1 site in France.

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 1 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 20 Aug 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 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?

Amount of wanting for protein-rich foods (time frame: 20 min (from 8:00 to 8:20 am) and 20 min (from 11:00 to 11:20 am)). 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 NCT02221050, 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 20 Aug 2014.
