Trial summary

This study was done to determine whether Simvastatin (a medication commonly used to treat patients with high cholesterol levels in the blood increases blood flow to the kidneys and improves renal function in normal volunteers and patients with impaired renal function secondary to polycystic kidney diseases.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

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

  1. Effect of short term HMG-CoA reductase treatment

    Differences between mean values for RPF, GFR and FF at baseline versus mean values obtained for these same parameters after 4 weeks of treatment will be analyzed using two-tailed Student's paired t-test. A similar analysis will be performed regarding patient's profiles for creatinine clearance, serum creatinine, urinary protein excretion and serum lipids. All results will be expressed as mean ± standard deviations. Differences will be considered significant at P <0.05.

    Measured: 4 weeks

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?

Effect of short term HMG-CoA reductase treatment (time frame: 4 weeks). 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 NCT02511418, 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.
