About this study

Official title: Intact Versus Biointact Assays for Longitudinal Assessment of Parathyroid Hormone - The Longitudinal PTH Study

The main study aim is to quantify the agreement between the analytical results provided by two third generation and two second generation Parathyroid hormone (PTH) assays. The primary comparison will be performed between the second-generation PTH assay"Intact PTH assay" from Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Inc. and the third-generation PTH assay "biointact (1-84)" from Roche Diagnostics in terms of a Bland-Altman analysis. Several studies have evaluated the correlation between various PTH assays at a single time-point, but no previous study has tested the hypothesis that longitudinal changes in PTH levels, which are important for making treatment decisions, can be monitored by several PTH assays alike. To this aim, the key secondary objective is to analyze the longitudinal variance in PTH over the course of 1 year, using each of two assays of the second and third generations, respectively. Other secondary objectives include determining changes in serum phosphate, serum calcium, fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), with respect to treatment decisions. For clinical applicability of the results to be obtained here, an important goal of the present study will be not to influence treatment decisions, which will remain independent of the study investigators, at the full responsibility of the hemodialysis physicians.

At every quarterly blood draw over the course of one year, the investigators will freeze the serum from 100 patients, and at the end of 4 quarters the investigators will analyze PTH-levels using the following assays: Intact Parathyroid Hormone (Advia Centaur, Siemens Healthcare), PTH-Intact (Cobas, Roche), PTH (1-84) - The agreement between the PTH assays will be analyzed at baseline, as well as at the subsequent quarterly evaluation time-points by Bland-Altman analysis and complemented by Passing-Bablok regression. The longitudinal changes in PTH will be displayed graphically and analyzed by estimating the within-patient variance across time, the between patient variance at each time-point as well as effects on the mean log-PTH level due to course of disease and therapeutic interventions from a linear mixed model.

  2. Serum Calcium levels

    Serum Calcium levels

    Measured: Timepoints of four consecutive quarterly routine controls per patient (month 1; month 4 ; month 8, month 12)

  3. Serum Phosphate levels

    Serum Phosphate levels as measured by quarterly routine controls

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of CKD-MBD - Chronic Kidney Disease Mineral and Bone Disorder and Secondary Hyperparathyroidism, run by Medical University of Vienna at 1 site in Austria.

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 2 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 25 Jun 2020. 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 Austria. 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?

Longitudinal change in PTH levels measured in [pg/ml] (time frame: Timepoints of four consecutive quarterly routine controls per patient (month 1; month 4 ; month 8, month 12)). 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 25 Jun 2020.
