About this study

Official title: Lipo-prostaglandin E1 Improves Renal Hypoxia Evaluated by BOLD-MRI in Patients

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of lipo-prostaglandin E1 (lipo-PGE1) on renal oxygenation in patients with diabetic nephropathy by blood oxygenation level dependent magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-MRI).patients with stable chronic kidney disease (CKD) were included. All patients were divided into two groups: diabetic nephropathy(DN) and CKD without diabetes. In addition to the conventional treatments, all patients received 10 ug lipo-PGE1 intravenously once daily for consecutive 14 days. Kidney BOLD-MRI were performed before and after lipo-PGE1 administration to acquire bilateral renal cortical R2*(CR2*) and medullary R2* (MR2*) values. Meanwhile, the clinical indexes at baseline and under lipo-PGE1 including 24 hours urinary protein and serum creatinine were collected. the investigators want to prove Lipo-PGE1 can improve kidney medullary oxygenation in patients with DN.

Read the detailed description

R2* maps were calculated using the in-house software in Matlab (version 7.0, The MathWorks, Inc., Cambridge, MA, USA) on a pixel-by-pixel basis by fitting㏑(signal intensity) versus echo time. The R2* map was windowed from 0 to 60 s-1.

Regions of interest (ROIs) with unfixed size (7 to 53 pixels) were defined at the upper, middle and lower poles of both kidneys in the medulla and cortex in the renal hilum plane based on the anatomical images. Three ROIs were placed in the medulla and cortex, respectively, carefully avoiding vessels, renal sinus and susceptibility artifacts, yielding a total of 6 ROIs in both kidneys. The values in each ROI were averaged for the bilateral cortex and medulla. To prevent significant bias from measurement variability, each sample was measured independently by three professional radiologists with more than 5 years of experience who were blinded to the clinical results. Thereafter, assuming the tests were coincident, the results were the averaged.

What is being measured

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

  1. the Change of Tissue Content of Deoxyhemoglobin Assessed by BOLD-MRI

    the R2* value at the time after 14days of lipo-PGE1 intravenously minus the value at the baseline,R2* is a measure of the tissue content of deoxyhemoglobin. Which is inversely proportional to oxygen content in tissue

    Measured: baseline and after 14days of lipo-PGE1 intravenously

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Lipo-PGE1 in people with Diabetic Nephropathy, run by West China Hospital at 1 site in China.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Dec 2016. 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 China. 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.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 May 2016). 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?

the Change of Tissue Content of Deoxyhemoglobin Assessed by BOLD-MRI (time frame: baseline and after 14days of lipo-PGE1 intravenously). 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 29 Dec 2016.
