About this study

Official title: Molecular Mechanisms Involved in Cell Adhesion and Migration Process: Effect of Treatment of Chronic Kidney Disease on Endothelial Dysfunction

The main aim of this project is to evaluate, in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD5D), the role of adhesion molecules in leukocyte adhesion and transendothelial migration involved in atherogenesis. This trial is a prospective randomized crossover study in CKD5D hemodialysis patients followed in the Nephrology Unit of the Reina Sofia University Hospital (Cordoba, Spain). The estimated inclusion period is two years, with a follow-up of 24 months. Patients will be randomized to high-flux hemodialysis versus online hemodiafiltration with high convective transport (above 21 liters); after 6 months in each dialysis modality they will be switched the other technique for another 6 months. Then, patients will be maintained during 4 weeks in conventional hemodialysis "wash out period", before being started in the other dialysis modality.

Then, patients will be maintained during 4 weeks in conventional hemodialysis "wash out period", before being started in the other dialysis modality. Patients will be stratified by age, gender and the presence of diabetes. Routine analytical determinations (urea, creatinine, sodium, potassium, chlorine, total CO2, calcium, phosphorus, FA, PTH, levels 25OH, β2m, ALT, hemoglobin, leukocytes, platelets, glucose, uric acid, total proteins, albumin , PCR, IL-6, ferritin, TSAT and homocysteine), characteristics of hemodialysis and dialysis dose (Kt / V and Kt) will be recorded. Residual renal function will be analysed every three months. In plasma, microRNAs profile and FGF23 levels will be determined. Markers of endothelial dysfunction (CD31 +, CD41-, CD144, CD62E) and subclinical atherosclerosis markers (CD11b, CD41 +) will be measured. The hospitalization and mortality rate due to cardiovascular causes and concurrent cardiovascular events throughout the study (acute myocardial infarction, stroke, transient ischemic attack and peripheral vascular disease) will be assessed along the study period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Effect of two different dialysis modalities (high flux vs online hemodiafiltration) on endothelial function markers: CD31,CD41,CD34; as measured by the percent of labeled cells obtained by flow cytometry.

    These parameters will assessed, in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD5D), Blood will be drawn before the dialysis session following the scheduled of the protocol. The measuremets of CD31 CD41 CD34 will be performend by flow cytometry according to the standard methodology described in methods.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Effect of two different dialysis modalities ( high flux vs online hemodiafiltration) on hospitalization (hospital admission days/year).

    Effect of two different dialysis modalities ( high flux vs online hemodiafiltration) on hospitalization (hospital admission days/year). Cardiovascular causes and concurrent cardiovascular events throughout the study (acute myocardial infarction, stroke, transient ischemic attack and peripheral vascular disease) will be also recorded throughout the study.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Effect of two different dialysis modalities ( high flux vs online hemodiafiltration) on Serum concentration of Fibroblast Growth Factor FGF23 (pg/ml) .

    The serum concentration of Fibroblast Growth Factor FGF23 will be quantified using commercially available ELISA Kit. (pg/ml). Blood samples will be obtained before the dialysis session.

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Effect of two different dialysis modalities ( high flux vs online hemodiafiltration) on vascular injury related microRNAs (relative expression)

    The relative expression of microRNAs (126-3p, 223-3p,363-3p, 191-5p). will be determined by RTq-PCR. Blood samples will be obtained before the dialysis session.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing on-line hemodiafiltration in people with Chronic Kidney Disease Requiring Chronic Dialysis, run by Maimónides Biomedical Research Institute of Córdoba at 2 sites in Spain.

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 3 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 31 Mar 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Spain. 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?

Effect of two different dialysis modalities (high flux vs online hemodiafiltration) on endothelial function markers: CD31,CD41,CD34; as measured by the percent of labeled cells obtained by flow cytometry. (time frame: 6 months). 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 31 Mar 2022.
