About this study

Microbial derived uremic solutes (p-cresol sulfate, indoxyl sulfate, and phenylacetylglutamine) are present in blood and excreted into the urine. Uremic solutes have high inter-individual variability of unclear etiology, that the investigators hypothesize is due to intestinal microbiome variation and/or dietary variation between people. In this study, the investigators will collect baseline samples on participant's habitual diet. The investigators will then administer a homogenous diet to all participants for 7 days and examine levels of uremic solutes in the urine via 24-hour urine collection during this period. In parallel, the investigators will monitor microbiome composition. The investigators predict that during the period subjects are consuming the same, homogenous diet, their excretion of uremic solutes (p-cresol sulfate, indoxyl sulfate, and phenylacetylglutamine) into the urine will have less inter-individual variation.

Read the detailed description

Participants will be asked to eat exactly the same meal for one week and to eat this same meal three times each day. Subjects will be allowed to eat as much of this meal as they want and to eat enough so that they do not lose weight. The food will provide a nutritionally adequate diet, designed by a registered dietitian. Participants will be asked not to eat anything else including candy, snacks, etc. and not to drink anything except water including coffee, tea, sodas, or alcoholic drinks.

Samples will be collected at 5 time points:

2 weeks prior to starting test diet, Baseline (day 1 on diet), day 4 on the diet, day 7 on the diet, 7 days after end of diet.

Samples collected include:

Blood sample Stool sample 24 hr urine collection Diet and Gastrointestinal questionnaires

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Standardized dietOther

    Standardized diet is prepared in a commercial kitchen and packaged in single serve portions to provide to participants to consume for 7 days

What is being measured

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

  1. Uremic solute variability

    25% reduction of the coefficient of variation of 24hr urinary excretion of at least 1 of 3 uremic solutes (p-cresol sulfate, indoxyl sulfate or phenylacetylglutamine) measured in mg/day/1.73 during the homogenous diet period as compared to the baseline/habitual diet period.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Standardized diet in people with Diet, run by Stanford University 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 1 inclusion and 4 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 7 May 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 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?

Uremic solute variability (time frame: 2 years). 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 7 May 2021.
