About this study

Official title: Kinetics of Copeptin in Healthy Volunteers - a Prospective International Study

Kinetics of Copeptin in response to osmotic alterations in healthy volunteers

Read the detailed description

Construction of the standard area of copeptin release in the normo- and hyperosmolar state and its half-life based on ist decline during hypoosmotic Suppression in healthy volunteers.

Being tested
Hypertonic saline infusion

What is being measured

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

  1. Physiological relationship between Serum osmolality and Plasma copeptin release.

    Copeptin and Blood osmolality will be measured concomitantly while hypertonic saline is infused. The infusion is continued until a hyperosmolar state is reached (defined with a sodium-level of 150mmol/l).

    Definition of an area of normality describing the physiological relationship between Serum osmolality and Plasma copeptin release in normo- to hyperosmolar states.

    Measured: beginning and end of protocol, up to 8 hours

  2. Half life of Copeptin

    Calculation of Copeptin half-life based on its decline during hypoosmotic suppression (oral waterload and glucose 5%-infusion)

    Measured: beginning and end of protocol, up to 8 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hypertonic saline infusion in people with Copeptin Blood Values, run by University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland at 2 sites in 2 countries.

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 5 inclusion and 9 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 3 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Germany, Switzerland. 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?

Physiological relationship between Serum osmolality and Plasma copeptin release. (time frame: beginning and end of protocol, up to 8 hours). The study lists 2 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 NCT02647736, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 3 Aug 2016.
