About this study

Official title: Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Chronic Kidney Disease

The overarching goal of this study is to determine the role of chronic kidney disease and the activation of the kallikrein-kinin system during hemodialysis on the development of mitochondrial dysfunction; the investigators will measure mitochondrial function using the gold standard method, 31-phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

The investigators will test the hypothesis that endogenous bradykinin promotes mitochondrial dysfunction in patients undergoing hemodialysis. The investigators will first perform a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, cross-over study measuring the effect of Icatibant (HOE-140), a bradykinin B2 receptor blocker, on mitochondrial function.

What participants receive

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

  • IcatibantDrug

    Also called HOE-140

    Subjects will receive either Icatibant or placebo in the first study day. After a washout period of 3 weeks, participant will receive the other treatment. Icatibant (50µg/kg/h) or placebo will be infused for 1 hour prior to the initiation of dialysis and continue through hemodialysis. Hemodialysis session will last approximately 4 hours. Two hours after the end of hemodialysis, The investigators will evaluate mitochondrial function by 31 phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

  • PlaceboDrug

    Also called placebo infusion

    Subjects will receive either Icatibant or placebo in the first study day. After a washout period of 3 weeks, participant will receive the other treatment. Icatibant (50µg/kg/h) or placebo will be infused for 1 hour prior to the initiation of dialysis and continue through hemodialysis. Hemodialysis session will last approximately 4 hours. Two hours after the end of hemodialysis, the investigators will evaluate mitochondrial function by 31 phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Phosphocreatine (PCR) Recovery Time After Knee Extension Assessed by 31 Phosphorus Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (31P-MRS)

    Mitochondria function will be evaluated using 31P-MRS, which evaluates the concentration of phospho-creatine (PCr) and other phosphate-energy carrier molecules. After basal measurements, subjects will be asked to perform 90 seconds of knee extension followed by 4 minutes of rest. The exercise/rest cycle will be repeated 3 times. Magnetic resonance spectra will be used to calculate concentrations of inorganic phosphate (Pi), PCr, and adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The time constant tau of PCr recovery (time to achieve 66.3% maximal concentration during recovery) will be used to determine mitochondrial function.

    Measured: Up to 2 hours after completion of drug infusion

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Systolic Blood Pressure

    Blood pressure will be monitored every 15 minutes, before, during, and after hemodialysis.

    Measured: 30 minutes before hemodialysis, during dialysis, and up to 1 hour after hemodialysis

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Icatibant in people with Hemodialysis-Induced Symptom and Mitochondrial Diseases, run by Vanderbilt University Medical Center 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 1 inclusion and 15 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 29 Oct 2019. 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 United States. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Oct 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Phosphocreatine (PCR) Recovery Time After Knee Extension Assessed by 31 Phosphorus Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (31P-MRS) (time frame: Up to 2 hours after completion of drug infusion). 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 29 Oct 2019.
