About this study

Aims:

  1. To determine whether BMD and muscle mass were associated with fractures and other adverse events in dialysis patients.
  2. To explore the effects of the interactions among FGF23, calcium, phosphate, PTH and vitamin D on low bone mineral density and sacropenia in dialysis patients.

Method:

In this study, the investigators plan to use DXA to screen for BMD, relevant novel bone microstructure parameters, and body composition in chronic dialysis patients. Also, the investigators plan to use blood testing to measure the blood level of FGF23, calcium, phosphate, PTH and vitamin D. The investigators conduct a prospectively follow up program for these participants to evaluate clinical courses and outcomes. Patients will receive DXA (including BMD and body composition) tests and blood work at baseline and one-year. Muscle power and physical performance will be measured at baseline, 6 months and one-year.

Background:

Several large-scale studies enrolling CKD patients discovered that low BMD is still an important risk factor for developing fragility fractures, while chronic dialysis patients are reported to have 4 to5 fold higher risk of fracture compared to general population. However, the relationship between bone mineral density (BMD) by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and fracture and other adverse events in patients with CKD patients is still unclear. In addition, declining of renal function could affect the normal physiological regulating of blood levels of calcium, phosphate, fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), parathyroid hormone (PTH), and vitamin D, which could influence the bone mineral density of chronic dialysis patients. Recently, it is well known that serum FGF23 is already elevated at the early stage of CKD patients and independently related to CKD. However, there are a limited number of reports indicate that the effects of the interactions among FGF23, calcium, phosphate, PTH and vitamin D on low bone mineral density and sacropenia in CKD patients.

Aims:

  1. To determine whether BMD by DXA was associated with fractures and other adverse events in dialysis patients.
  2. To explore the effects of the interactions among FGF23, calcium, phosphate, PTH and vitamin D on low bone mineral density and sacropenia in dialysis patients.

Method:

In this study, the investigators plan to use DXA to screen for BMD, relevant novel bone microstructure parameters, and body composition in chronic dialysis patients. Also, the investigators plan to use blood testing to measure the blood level of FGF23, calcium, phosphate, PTH and vitamin D. The investigators conduct a prospectively follow up program for these participants to evaluate clinical courses and outcomes.

Patient characteristics

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Age >20 years and one of the below
  2. Chronic hemodialysis
  3. Chronic peritoneal dialysis

Exclusion Criteria:

get pregnant or planning a pregnancy

Anticipated results:

  1. The investigators expect that results and findings discovered from this study could show the effects of interactions of FGF23, calcium, phosphate, PTH and vitamin D on low bone mineral density and sacropenia in CKD patients, which should be an important step on improving clinical decision for osteoporosis and fracture risk in renal dialysis patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Bone mineral density by DXA,

    Change of BMD between baseline and one year was measured

    Measured: one year

Secondary outcomes (2)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Kidney Disease Requiring Chronic Dialysis and Osteoporosis, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 May 2022. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ding-Cheng Chan, MD, PhD (886-2-23123456 ext. 67786, doctord6226@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Bone mineral density by DXA, (time frame: one year). 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 4 May 2022.
