What participants receive

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

  • salt restriction educationOther

    Salt intake target:<5g/d Method:the standard salt restriction education will be lasting for 10-15 minutes by oral explanation at baseline.

What is being measured

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

  1. ratings of taste sensitivity assessed by the ISO method of investigating sensitivity of taste(ISO 3972:1991)

    Taste sensitivity is measured by five taste solutions(salty、sour、bitter、sweet、umami). Every taste solution contains 8 different concentration. Detection , recognition and difference thresholds will be measured .Their definitions are as bellow.

    Detection threshold:minimum value of sensory stimulus needed to give rise to a sensation. The sensation need not be identified.

    Recognition threshold:minimum value of a sensory stimulus permitting identification of the sensation perceived.

    Difference threshold:value of the smallest perceptible difference in the physical intensity of a stimulus.

    Measured: up to 12 weeks after intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Renal Insufficiency, Chronic and Chronic Kidney Diseases, run by Peking University First Hospital 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Oct 2022. 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The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

ratings of taste sensitivity assessed by the ISO method of investigating sensitivity of taste(ISO 3972:1991) (time frame: up to 12 weeks after intervention). 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 NCT03397550, which also lists 4 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 12 Oct 2022.
