What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage change from baseline in the Microvascular Health Index in the fasting mimicking diet or food supplement group compared to the placebo group

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Percentage change from baseline in Urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) in the fasting mimicking diet or food supplement group compared to the placebo

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Percentage change from baseline in urinary heparanase levels in the fasting mimicking diet or food supplement group compared to the placebo

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Percentage change from baseline in urinary MCP-1 levels in the fasting mimicking diet or food supplement group compared to the placebo

    Measured: 3 months

  4. Percentage change from baseline in specific urinary heparan sulfate domains in the fasting mimicking diet or food supplement group compared to the placebo

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Fasting mimicking diet Prolon and Food supplement Endocalyx in people with Diabetic Nephropathy Type 2 and Albuminuria, run by Leiden University Medical Center at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 11 inclusion and 9 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 18 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 Netherlands. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Percentage change from baseline in the Microvascular Health Index in the fasting mimicking diet or food supplement group compared to the placebo group (time frame: 3 months). 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 NCT03889236, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 18 Feb 2021.
