About this study

Official title: Dietary Education Intervention With Wechat Model Will Impact on Dietary Protein Intake in Patient Treated With Peritoneal Dialysis

This study is a prospective randomized controlled pilot trial/(a combined prospective and retrospective study). The investigators will use wechat intervening dietary protein intake in patients treated with peritoneal dialysis.

Read the detailed description

Malnutrition is highly prevalent in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, and protein malnutrition will adversely affect outcomes. The investigators develop a dietary education intervention for PD patients to improve fundamental food knowledge that will increase protein intake to target level of 1.2 g/kg of protein intake per day. In additional the dietary intervention will provide information about sodium, phosphorus, calcium intake. To more effectively deliver the intervention, the investigators explored a technology using social media in China called wechat. The purpose of this study is to test whether a dietary intervention can be more effective when delivered using wechat compared to a traditional patient education intervention delivered during routing clinical visits.

What is being measured

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

  1. Normalized Protein Catabolic Rate (nPCR)

    We use software (PD ADEQUEST 2.0) to conduct the Peritoneal Equilibration Test (PET) test. The result of PET test can offered the value of nPCR. nPCR can estimate daily protein intake of patients. Its units is g/(kg*d).

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing wechat in people with Dietary Modification, run by The Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University.

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 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 10 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Jun 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Normalized Protein Catabolic Rate (nPCR) (time frame: 12 months). 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 10 Jul 2019.
