About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Nephrectomy Specimen to Verify a Mechanism of Intracranial Aneurysm Development in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease Patients

ADPKD is the most common form of hereditary kidney disease and is known to occur in 1 of 400 to 1000 population in the U.S. ADPKD consists of 2.8% of patients receiving kidney transplantation in the investigator's center. It is known that ADPKD is associated with vascular anomalies, including abdominal aneurysms, valvular anomalies and especially intracranial aneurysms. Intracranial aneurysms occur in 9~12% of the ADPKD population which is higher than 2~3% in the general population and is known to be associated with PKD1 or PKD2 heritage.

Until now, most of the studies regarding intracranial aneurysms in ADPKD are conducted in animal models, and there are only few cellular studies conducted from human samples. Total 154 patients received kidney transplantation for ADPKD from 1994 to December 2018 at Asan Medical Center, Seoul, Korea. While performing kidney transplantation to ESRD ADPKD patients, nephrectomy has been routinely performed for polycystic kidney and the nephrectomy specimens can be obtained. The objective of this study is to investigate the mechanism of intracranial aneurysm in ADPKD patients by analyzing gene characteristics from nephrectomy specimens.

Read the detailed description

ADPKD is associated with PKD1 gene on chromosome 16 and PKD2 gene on chromosome 4 and these gene respectively code polycystin 1 and polycystin 2. Currently the hypotheses for increased intracranial aneurysm rate in ADPKD patients is that mutation of polycystin is not only confined to nephron tissues but also in endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells and results in mutation of vascular phenotype. Also recent studies show polycystin complex causes cystic changes through mutation in primary cilia in renal epithelium. Wild type endothelial cells respond to fluid shear stress by regulating levels of intracellular calcium and nitric oxide, however, PKD1 or PKD2 mutation in fetal aortic endothelial cells revealed loss of these responses.

During kidney transplantation, bilateral nephrectomies are routinely performed to ADPKD patients. In this study, the investigators plan to perform PKD gene tests and gene sequencing from polycystic kidney nephrectomy specimens of154 ADPKD patients who received kidney transplantation at Asan Medical Center between 1994 and 2018. The aim of this study to analyze the gene mutation of ADPKD patients and investigate mechanisms associated with intracranial aneurysm occurence in ADPKD patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Kidney Transplant; Complications and Aneurysm, Brain, run by Asan Medical Center.

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 3 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 26 Mar 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Intracranial aneurysm (time frame: average of 5 years). 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 NCT03889392, 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 26 Mar 2019.
