About this study

Official title: A Plant Based High Protein Diet to Improve Nutritional Outcomes in Dialysis Patients

The study proposes that addition of high protein plant based diet will improve serum albumin as well serum phosphate for patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) on Dialysis. Patient will be provided additional food items to help improve their nutritional status.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to improve the albumin and nutritional status of patient with ESRD on dialysis. Serum albumin is a marker to show how well the patient's overall nutrition is. When albumin level drops it signifies poor outcome in dialysis patients both in terms of complications as well as mortality. Our goal on dialysis is to improve serum albumin level as close to normal as possible. This study intends to also improve phosphorus level by adding high protein sources which are plant based. In this study we intend to add certain plant based food items which are high in protein content. Studies have shown that these particular food items considerably increase serum albumin level but at the same time they are safe as they do not increase the phosphorous levels in kidney patients. Patients will be provided the additional food items and all their nutritional parameters will be monitored at baseline and during the study period of one month

What is being measured

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

  1. Nutritional Parameters, bone and mineral metabolism

    albumin will improve on high protein plant based diet; we will measure patients' baseline nutritional parameters which will include serum album; Calcium and phosphate levels and then follow the same parameters on the dietary intervention

    Measured: one month

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Phosphorous measurements will be followed during the course of the study and on completion

    Hyperphosphatemia will improve on plant based high protein diet

    Measured: one month

  2. Obesity

    On this intervention we will follow patients' weight as a secondary outcome in obese patients

    Measured: one month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Plant based high protein food items in people with End-Stage Renal Disease and Malnutrition, run by Ochsner Health System at 2 sites in United States.

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 5 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 13 Apr 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. 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?

Nutritional Parameters, bone and mineral metabolism (time frame: one month). 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 NCT02360748, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 13 Apr 2018.
