The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) present with abnormal endothelial function, increased levels of NOX4 activity and mitochondrial abnormalities, contributing to oxidative stress from early stages that correlate with disease severity.

About this study

Official title: Assessment of Longitudinal Changes in Endothelial Function and Oxidative Stress in Normotensive Patients With Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) - A Pilot Study

The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) present with abnormal endothelial function, increased levels of NOX4 activity and mitochondrial abnormalities, contributing to oxidative stress from early stages that correlate with disease severity.

Read the detailed description

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common monogenic and the fourth cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in adults worldwide. Cardiovascular diseases are the most important non-cystic complications and continue to be the leading cause of premature mortality in these patients. Hypertension (HTN) is present in approximately 50% of the patients at early stages, and increases to nearly 100% at ESRD. Furthermore, HTN contributes to the underlying renal disease progression. Nitric oxide (NO) associated endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation has been shown to be impaired in small subcutaneous resistance vessels from patients with ADPKD before the development of HTN. However, the principal contributors to vascular dysfunction remain unclear.

The investigators broad objective is to evaluate the presence and extent of endothelial dysfunction and its association with oxidative stress in young normotensive patients with ADPKD, with the long term goal of timely intervention to slow the progression of the disease in these patients.

Participants in this study will have their endothelial function assessed using a non-invasive technique, peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT), which has been shown to be a useful, highly reproducible, and non-operator dependent method for non-invasive assessment of vascular health. The investigators will assess longitudinal changes in endothelial function using PAT with the intention of establishing if this methodology offers the potential of non-invasive measures of early vascular disease in young normotensive patients with ADPKD. Biochemical markers of endothelial dysfunction will be assessed concomitantly. In addition, the investigators will assess oxidative stress levels in these patients, with the intention of determining the association with endothelial dysfunction.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assessment of endothelial function by Peripheral Artery Tonometry (PAT)

    PAT is a novel non-invasive technology which records volume changes in the microcirculation of the digits in response to hyperemia, to measure peripheral vasodilator response as a measure for endothelial dysfunction.

    Measured: 18 months

  2. NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) expression/activity

    Determined by ELISA from plasma and urine

    Measured: 18 months

  3. Mitochondrial DNA copy number

    Plasma and urine levels of the mitochondria encoded genes cytochrome-c oxidase-3 (COX3) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) dehydrogenase subunit-1 (ND1) determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction

    Measured: 18 months

  4. Total kidney volume (TKV)

    Determined by MRI

    Measured: 18 months

  5. Renal blood flow (RBF)

    Determined by MRI

    Measured: 18 months

  6. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR)

    Determination of iothalamate clearance

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease, run by Mayo Clinic 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 12 inclusion and 16 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 6 May 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 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 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?

Assessment of endothelial function by Peripheral Artery Tonometry (PAT) (time frame: 18 months). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 6 May 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 31 Oct 2026.
