About this study

The SCOPE study is an observational, multicenter, prospective cohort study aimed at evaluating a 2-year screening programme for CKD in a population of older patients, aged 75 years or more, in seven European Countries, in an attempt to investigate whether and to which extent currently available screening methods may identify older people at risk of worsening kidney function.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) decline

    eGFR will be calculated using the Berlin Initiative Study 1 (BIS1) equation

    Measured: 24 months

  2. Incidence of End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)

    ESRD will be defined as eGFR<15 mL/min/1.73 m2 or dialysis

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Biomarkers of kidney function

    cystatin C, beta2-microglobulin, beta-trace protein

    Measured: Baseline and 24 months

  2. Genetic and epigenetic analyses

    circulating microRNA, telomere length in circulating leukocytes, DNA methylation, analysis of the whole genome

    Measured: Baseline and 24 months

  3. Incidence of CKD complications

    anemia, hyperphosphatemia, acidosis, hypoalbuminemia, hyperparathyroidism, hyperkaliemia

    Measured: 24 months

  4. Incidence of major comorbidities

    myocardial infarction, hospitalization for unstable angina, transient ischemic attack/stroke, heart failure events, interventional cardiology events, peripheral vascular intervention, and stent thrombosis

    Measured: 24 months

  5. Cardiovascular mortality

    death resulting from acute myocardial infarction, sudden cardiac death, heart failure, stroke, CV procedures, CV hemorrhage, and other CV causes

    Measured: 24 months

  6. Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA)

    Cognitive function (Mini Mental State Examination), depression (Geriatric Depression Scale), functional assessment (Basic Activity of Daily Living, Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale), health status (Cumulative Illness Rating Scale for Geriatrics), risk of malnutrition (Mini Nutritional Assessment), dietary intake assessment (24-h Dietary Recall), history of falls and incident falls, vision and hearing impairment, socioeconomic Status, physical Performance (Short Physical Performance Battery Test), muscle strength (Hand Grip Strength), quality of life (Euro-Qol 5D)

    Measured: Baseline and 24 months

  7. Healthcare resource consumption

    previous physician visits, use of care services, hospital admissions, laboratory tests performed

    Measured: Baseline and 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Kidney Diseases, run by Istituto Nazionale di Ricovero e Cura per Anziani at 9 sites in 7 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 2 inclusion and 7 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 24 Jun 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in Italy, Spain, Austria, Germany, Israel and 2 more countries. 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?

Rate of estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) decline (time frame: 24 months). 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 NCT02691546, which also lists 6 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 24 Jun 2020.
