About this study

Official title: Investigation to Develop Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for the Determination of Innovative CKD-MBD(Chronic Kidney Disease - Mineral Bone Disorder)-Serum-(Plasma-)Parameters

CKD-MBD (Chronic Kidney Disease - Mineral and Bone Disorder) is an extensive disease and includes dysfunction of the mineral metabolism, the bone metabolism and cardiovascular diseases in the context of renal insufficiency. Clinical pictures of peripheral artery occlusive disease (PAOD), Coronary artery disease (CAD) and arterial hypertension favours among other main risk factors (smoking, obesity, etc.) additional cardiovascular complications. For this reason it makes sense to monitor these patients regularly. For this purpose the determination of different biomarkers would be appropriate for control of the course of disease.

During various studies the biomarkers FGF23, s-klotho, sclerostin, DKK1, BMP2, YKL-40 und MGP were established as indicators for the disease activity, as diagnostic criteria for the existence of CKD-MBD or as risk markers for the incidence of adverse events (incl. death) within the scope of CKD-MBD. For the clinical routine care application of these parameters standard operating procedures (SOP) are missing for the determination method relating to optimal pre-analytic and analytic procedures. These analyses are necessary to ensure the reproducibility of study results and to transfer these parameters in the clinical daily routine for risk stratification.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Kidney Diseases, run by RWTH Aachen University at 2 sites in Germany.

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 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 26 Oct 2022. 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. 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?

an optimal analysis of innovative CKD-MBD-Biomarkers (time frame: through study completion, an average of 3 months). 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 26 Oct 2022.
