About this study

Official title: Effect of a Low AGE Diet on Human Microbiome

This is an intervention study of the effects of food preparation on the gut bacteria in patients with end stage renal disease on peritoneal dialysis. This is a dietary intervention consistent of consuming low amounts of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), the products of protein and sugar interaction during food processing and preparation using high direct heat.

Read the detailed description

Gut microbes can influence numerous aspects of human biology. Alterations in the function and composition of gut microbial flora (gut microbiota) have been linked to different diseases such as obesity, diabetes and inflammation. Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs) are formed via the Maillard reaction, which consists of a complex network of non-enzymatic reactions involving the carbonyl groups of reducing sugars which react with the amino groups of proteins. AGEs are produced in vivo and being consumed. They have been implicated in increased risk of different diseases including atherosclerosis, CAD and kidney diseases. In this study, the investigators are evaluating the effects of consuming a low AGE diet in participants on peritoneal dialysis on the gut bacteria and inflammation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing AGE in people with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), run by Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai at 1 site 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 4 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 19 Jan 2017. 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 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?

Skin AGE level (time frame: baseline and 1 month). 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 19 Jan 2017.
