About this study

This pilot study aims to produce preliminary data on the safety of providing high-protein meals to patients during dialysis, and effects of this intervention on nutritional status and quality of life outcomes. This is a non-randomized, parallel arm study. Meals provided will follow recommended dietary guidelines for HD patients and will provide approximately 1/3 of daily recommended protein intake. Patients will be allocated to either the treatment or control group by HD shift schedule. 2 months of baseline data will be collected, followed by 9 weeks of meal intervention/control and data collection. The primary outcome will be frequency of hypotensive events during dialysis requiring intervention. Secondary outcomes will include highest and lowest systolic blood pressure during dialysis, blood biochemistries including measures of renal function, nutritional status, and electrolyte balance; dialysis compliance; fluid retention; sleep and other quality of life measures; and dietary intake data.

What is being measured

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

  1. Hypotensive Event Frequency

    frequency of hypotensive events that require intervention during dialysis

    Measured: 9 weeks

Secondary outcomes (16)
  1. Mean Arterial Pressure (mm Hg)

    Average Lowest Mean Arterial Pressure (mm Hg) over 25 dialysis sessions during the study.

    Measured: 9 weeks

  2. Serum Albumin

    Measured: 9 weeks

  3. Blood Urea Nitrogen

    Measured: 9 weeks

  4. Serum Creatinine

    Measured: 9 weeks

  5. Blood Glucose

    Measured: 9 weeks

  6. Serum Adjusted Calcium

    Measured: 9 weeks

  7. Serum Sodium

    Measured: 9 weeks

  8. Serum Phosphate

    Measured: 9 weeks

  9. Serum Chloride

    Measured: 9 weeks

  10. Serum CO2

    Measured: 9 weeks

  11. Serum Pre-albumin

    Measured: 9 weeks

  12. Dialysis Absences

    Absences out of 25 sessions

    Measured: 9 weeks

  13. Interdialytic Weight Gain

    Measured: 9 weeks

  14. Vitality Score

    Vitality measured by SF-36 (Short Form 36 Health Survey) Questionnaire. Minimum-Maximum values 0-100, with higher scores meaning better outcomes.

    Measured: 9 weeks

  15. Sleep Problems Index

    Sleep Problems Index-II from the Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) Sleep Scale. Minimum-Maximum values 0-100, with higher scores meaning better outcomes.

    Measured: 9 weeks

  16. Hunger Rating

    Hunger rating on a visual analog scale of 0-10 cm. Higher values mean a better outcome.

    Measured: 9 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Meals in people with End-Stage Renal Disease and Meals, run by Purdue University at 1 site in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

Hypotensive Event Frequency (time frame: 9 weeks). 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 NCT02917278, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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?
