About this study

Official title: Case Detection and Confirmation, Subtype Classification of Patients With Primary Aldosteronism

To optimize the confirmatory tests for primary aldosteronism.

Read the detailed description

In this study, the investigators aim to optimize the three confirmatory tests: salt loading, captopril challenge and fludrocortisone suppression, and to confirm a better choice of confirming testing for single or combined diagnosis of primary aldosteronism. Additionally, the investigators plan to collect blood and tissue samples of PA patients for genetic testing, and to proceed a long-term follow-up for further investigating the mechanism underlying PA and evaluating the cardio-cerebrovascular complications risk.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT02755519
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Primary Aldosteronism1. Those with hypertension, and with or without hypoglycemia; 2. Those with PAC/PRC≥42.95 pg·mL-1/µIU·mL-1
Non-Primary Aldosteronism1. Those with Primary Hypertension; 2. Those with adrenal diseases except for Primary Aldosteronism

What is being measured

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

  1. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) for Salt loading test

    Salt loading test will be performed and compared to golden standard such as adrenal venous sampling (AVS) and biopsy results. The area under the curve (AUC) will be calculated.

    Measured: 1 week

  2. AUC for captopril challenge test

    Captopril challenge test will be performed and compared to golden standard such as AVS and biopsy results. AUC will be calculated.

    Measured: 1 week

  3. AUC for fludrocortisone suppression test

    Fludrocortisone suppression test will be performed and compared to golden standard such as AVS and biopsy results. AUC will be calculated.

    Measured: 1 week

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Incidence of cardiovascular diseases in Primary Aldosteronism

    Follow-up for the risk of cardiovascular diseases, chronic kidney disease and stroke

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Primary Aldosteronism, run by Chongqing Medical University 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 2 inclusion and 6 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 11 Nov 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.

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?

Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) for Salt loading test (time frame: 1 week). The study lists 3 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 NCT02755519, 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 11 Nov 2016.
