About this study

Official title: Cardiovascular Comorbidity in Children With Chronic Kidney Disease: Identification of Novel Biomarkers and Therapeutic Targets

This 3-year study will systematically evaluate the prevalence, clinical symptoms, and progression of CV and kidney disease and assess the impact of potential genetic, pharmacological, behavior, and environmental risk factors in a prospective cohort with a sample size of 125 aged 3-18 years children with stage G1-G4 chronic kidney disease (CKD). Measurements of morphological (e.g., LVMI \& cIMT) and functional characteristics (e.g., FMD \& PWV) of the cardiovascular system and 24hr ABPM profile will serve as surrogate end points for CV comorbidity in this study. Possible associations of these end points with multiple molecular (ADMA \& urine exosome miRNA), perceived value and behavior (EQ-5D-Y), pharmacological (NHIRD and CGRD), and environmental risk factors (patient and family survey) will be explored.

Read the detailed description

Taiwan has the highest incidence and prevalence rates of end-stage renal disease all over the world. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) becomes a global public health burden, which can begin in earliest childhood. CKD in childhood differs from that in adults. Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) is the leading cause of childhood CKD. Children with CKD due to CAKUT have the highest risk of having a genomic imbalance. Thus, early identification of genotype-phenotype correlations to develop novel therapeutic approaches might reduce the heavy burden of CKD for the future of Taiwan.

Study design:

  1. A 3-year prospective cohort study.
  2. Sample size: 125 children and adolescents with stage G1-G4 CKD, age 3 to 18 yr, and 30 controls.
  3. Measurement: Measurements of morphological (e.g., LVMI \& cIMT) and functional characteristics (e.g., FMD \& PWV) of the cardiovascular system and 24hr ABPM profile will serve as surrogate end points for CV comorbidity in this study. Possible associations of these end points with multiple molecular (ADMA \& urine exosome miRNA), perceived value and behavior (EQ-5D-Y), pharmacological (NHIRD and CGRD), and environmental risk factors (patient and family survey) will be explored.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Childhood Chronic Kidney Disease, run by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 4 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 20 Feb 2024. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Hypertension (time frame: 1 year). 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 20 Feb 2024.
