About this study

Official title: Mechanisms of Low Protein Diet Supplemented With α-ketoacids on Autophagy and Improving Muscle Wasting in Chronic Kidney Disease: the Role of Autophagy in Muscle Wasting

To investigate the effects of different dietary regimens on muscle wasting, insulin/IGF-1 resistance. Further, to explore whether LPD+KA decrease the activation of autophagy associate with insulin/IGF-1 pathway.

Read the detailed description
  1. Dietary assessment: The composition of the diet will be evaluated through questionnaire, and analyzed a computer-based nutritional evaluation with Dieta software.
  2. Biochemical data: blood samples will be collected at baseline and every 3 months of routine examination, such as blood routine, biochemistry, HbA1c, Serum IGF-1, CRP, will be measured. Homeostatic model assessment score (HOMA-IR) was recorded.
  3. Skeletal muscle assessment: the parameters of skeletal muscle will be assessed before and after dietary intervention for 12 months. Body weight, height, Body mass index, skeletal muscle mass will be measured by Body composition analyzer. Quadriceps strength will be assessed with a seated leg press exercise instrument (Keiser Sport, Fresno, CA, USA) using the five repetition maximum technique. Knee and hip extension power (rate of generating force) will be assessed with a validated leg power instrument (University ofNottingham Medical College, Nottingham, UK). Fatigability will be assessed with the same bilateral leg press exercise used in strength testing.

What is being measured

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

  1. Body weight assessment

    the parameters of skeletal muscle will be assessed before and after dietary intervention for 12 months. Body weight will be measured to calculate Body mass index.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. skeletal muscle mass

    the parameters of skeletal muscle will be assessed before and after dietary intervention for 12 months. muscle circumference including mid-arm, mid-thigh, and mid-calf circumferences will be assessed.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Quadriceps strength assessment

    the parameters of skeletal muscle will be assessed before and after dietary intervention for 12 months. Quadriceps strength will be assessed with a seated leg press exercise instrument (Keiser Sport, Fresno, CA, USA) using the five repetition maximum technique.

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Knee and hip extension power assessment

    the parameters of skeletal muscle will be assessed before and after dietary intervention for 12 months. Knee and hip extension power (rate of generating force) will be assessed with a validated leg power instrument (University ofNottingham Medical College, Nottingham, UK).

    Measured: 1 year

  5. Fatigability assessment

    the parameters of skeletal muscle will be assessed before and after dietary intervention for 12 months. Fatigability will be assessed with the same leg power instrument (University ofNottingham Medical College, Nottingham, UK) as used in strength testing.

    Measured: 1 year

  6. Height assessment

    the parameters of skeletal muscle will be assessed before and after dietary intervention for 12 months. Height will be measured to calculate Body mass index

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Dietary assessment

    The composition of the diet will be evaluated through questionnaire

    Measured: 1 year

  2. computer-based nutritional assessment

    analyzed a computer-based nutritional evaluation with Dieta software.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Biochemical data

    blood samples will be collected at baseline and every 3 months of routine examination, such as blood routine, biochemistry, HbA1c, Serum IGF-1, CRP, will be measured.

    Measured: 1 year

  4. calculate HOMA-IR

    Homeostatic model assessment score (HOMA-IR) was recorded.

    Measured: 1 year

  5. Safety parameters

    Blood routine:including WBC, RBC, Hb, PLT, HCT; Blood biochemistry:including Ca, P, iPTH, albumin, prealbumin, transferrin, creatinine, Bun,CRP Blood fat: cholesterol, triglyceride(VLDL、LDL、HDL)

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing keto-amino acids in people with Muscular Atrophy, run by YUAN Wei-jie.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Nov 2016. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Body weight assessment (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02568020, 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 1 Nov 2016.
