About this study

Official title: Kidney Information Network for Disease Research and Education (KINDRED)

In this study, Investigators will conduct a prospective cohort study of dialysis patients by collecting research-quality information on patient characteristics, comorbid diseases and laboratory markers used in routine practice, as well as novel biochemical markers and genetic data. Investigators will utilize data from the cohort to test the independent relationship between biochemical and genetic markers and Fabry disease and other rare diseases.

Read the detailed description

KINDRED is a prospective observational cohort study that will enroll up to 5,000 dialysis patients throughout the United States with and without known diagnosis of Fabry disease but at risk for Fabry disease (e.g., unknown cause of renal disease, young male, initiating dialysis without a kidney biopsy, etc).This tissue repository will allow for genetic screening of a geographically diverse population, assist in identification of rare diseases in ESRD, and collect research-quality information on risk factors and outcomes from an ethnically heterogeneous population of dialysis patients. In this study, Investigators will use a novel method of performing research in this population by leveraging the internet to enhance and accelerate recruitment of potential subjects to participate in a genetic screening/tissue repository protocol.

What is being measured

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

  1. Genetically determined Fabry disease prevalence amongst a heterogenous patient population with end-stage renal disease on dialysis in the US not previously known to have Fabry disease.

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Differences in patient characteristics of dialysis patients diagnosed with Fabry disease vs. dialysis patients who do not have Fabry disease.

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Differences in patient characteristics of individuals diagnosed with Fabry disease initiating dialysis after 2013 vs. patients with Fabry disease who started dialysis before 2003.

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of ESRD and Fabry Disease, run by Massachusetts General Hospital 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 1 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Feb 2021. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Poor recruitment). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Genetically determined Fabry disease prevalence amongst a heterogenous patient population with end-stage renal disease on dialysis in the US not previously known to have Fabry disease. (time frame: 5 years). 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 24 Feb 2021.
