Trial summary

This pilot study will compare endothelial function in patients with ADPKD with matched healthy volunteers and normotensive chronic kidney disease stage 1 \& 2 patients. Patients will undergo a single assessment of endothelial function and measurement of plasma and urine levels of biomarkers of endothelial function. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 50 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Study population: Normotensive ADPKD patients with well preserved GFR (>60ml/min) ie those with Stage 1 or 2 Chronic Kidney Disease recruited from a specialist PKD clinic. Healthy controls will be recruited matched to age, sex, body mass index (BMI) and eGFR of the ADPKD patients.

Who may be able to join

  • Age >18yrs, <50yrs
  • Able to understand spoken/written English sufficiently to give informed consent and to take part in clinical assessment
  • Clinical diagnosis of ADPKD
  • eGFR >60ml/min/1.73m2

Who cannot join

  • No history of cardiovascular disease or hypertension
  • Not diabetic
  • Not smoking
  • Not breastfeeding
  • Not pregnant
  • Not taking any regular medication (except oral contraceptives)
Show all 9Show fewer
  • No musculoskeletal conditions contraindicating inflation of a blood pressure cuff to suprasystolic pressures around the forearm (as part of EndoPAT measurements)
  • Not morbidly obese: BMI<35 (May contribute to endothelial dysfunction)
  • eGFR <60ml/min/1.73m2

About this study

Official title: Endothelial Dysfunction in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease

This pilot study will compare endothelial function in patients with ADPKD with matched healthy volunteers and normotensive chronic kidney disease stage 1 \& 2 patients. Patients will undergo a single assessment of endothelial function and measurement of plasma and urine levels of biomarkers of endothelial function.

Read the detailed description

Following recruitment we will record the following baseline demographics; age, gender, smoking status, body mass index, medical history.

Participants will undergo a noninvasive vascular assessment, venepuncture and will provide a urine sample.This will be done during a single visit to the CRF.

Noninvasive vascular assessment will consist of:

  1. Peripheral Arterial Tonometry This will be measured using the EndoPAT system (Itamar Medical) Endothelial shear stress flow stimulus will be provided by inflation of a blood pressure cuff around the upper non-dominant arm to suprasystolic pressure (but <300mmHg) for 5 minutes. Following release of the cuff the resulting digital microcirculation vasodilatory response to ischaemic hyperaemia, quantified as the pulse wave amplitude, will be monitored over 5 minutes. The peak pulse wave amplitude measured at 90-150s post cuff deflation relative to baseline will be indexed to the changes in the opposite arm to give the reactive hyperaemia index. This measure of endothelial function constitutes the outcome measure.
  2. Blood Pressure Assessment Brachial artery blood pressure will be measured in the left arm in the supine position using an automated device (Dinamap) and in accordance with the clinical research facility SOP.
  3. Blood samples and urine samples

Samples for plasma will be centrifuged and stored at -80C. Biochemical analysis will be performed by the laboratory of the STH NHS Trust for standard tests and by validated assays for non-routine markers (as detailed below) in the Academic Nephrology Unit.

Participants will be asked to collect a 24h urine sample from the day before the study visit and to provide a spot urine sample on the day. This will be analysed at the laboratory of the STH NHS Trust.

Biochemical Analysis

Serum samples will be analyzed for Full blood count, Urea, Electrolytes, Glucose, Insulin, Lipid Profile, Homocysteine, (Hs) CRP and Creatinine Levels.

Serum and plasma will also be stored for future analysis of relevant biomarkers of endothelial function or nitric oxide metabolism as indicated by preliminary results.

Urine samples will be analysed initially for protein creatinine ratio (PCR). The rest will be frozen for future analysis of urinary biomarkers of endothelial function or nitric oxide metabolism.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Polycystic Kidney, Autosomal Dominant, run by Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

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 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 17 Jul 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?

Reactive hyperemia index (RHI) (time frame: Baseline). 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 17 Jul 2019.
