About this study
Official title: A Mobile Application Based Dietary Self Management Intervention in Chinese Chronic Kidney Disease Patients: a Multi-Center Randomized Controlled Study
This is a multi-center randomized controlled study. This study aims to investigate the acceptability and efficacy of a newly developed mobile application in the dietary management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients.
Read the detailed description
The prevalence of CKD has reached 10.8% in China. Increasing in prevalence of other non-communicable disease such as hypertension, diabetes and obesity is contributing to this rise in CKD and end-stage renal disease prevalence. Diet is a strong modifiable factor in these diseases. Dietary control is also an integral part in CKD disease self management. However, the complexity in the dietary management of CKD makes it hard for patients to adequately self manage. With the development of smart phone, many mobile applications have been developed to suit the need of patients with chronic diseases. But there has been a scarce of randomized trial to support the feasibility, acceptability and efficacy of these mobile applications.
Our study aims to employ a newly developed dietary logging and monitoring application in the primary care setting of CKD patients to test its acceptability and efficacy in disease control.
The application is developed by a multidisciplinary team in a tertiary care center. The main features include searching and logging foods, receiving realtime feedback on key nutrient intake levels and facilitating patient-care giving communication.
We plan to enroll 14 tertiary hospitals and 42 secondary hospitals in 7 geographical regions in China aiming to reach participants in resource poor areas. Participants will be randomized with 1 to 1 ratio to either receiving mobile application dietary intervention or usual dietary consultation. The planned intervention period is 3 months. We will monitor biochemical parameters relating to dietary control and evaluate patient-centered outcomes concerning CKD self management and control.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Mobile Application for Dietary ManagementBehavioural
A mobile application developed by a multi-disciplinary team will be used in the dietary management of CKD patients. The application is patient orientated. It has 4 core features including food searching, dietary logging, personalized key nutrient intake feedback and patient-caregiver interaction.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile Application Intervention | Experimental | Participants in this arm will receive mobile application dietary intervention as well as usual CKD dietary care. Receives: Behavioral: Mobile Application for Dietary Management |
| Care as Usual | No intervention | Participants in this arm will receive usual CKD dietary care. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

Change in Perceived Medical Condition Self-Management Scale (PMCSMS)
Measured by Perceived Medical Condition Self-Management Scale (8-item CKD-specific version of the PMCSMS, each item is scored on a 1-5 likert scale, with higher score indicating better self management on item 3/4/5/8 and lower score indicating better self management on item 1/2/6/7) before and after intervention
Measured: 3 months

blood draw (fasting) before and after intervention period
Measured: 3 months

Measured by spot urine at baseline and after intervention
Measured: 3 months

Salt taste threshold measured using salt-impregnated test strips before and after the intervention period
Measured: 3 months
Kidney Nutrition Knowledge, Attitude and Practice
Measured by self developed questionnaire about knowledge, attitude and practice in kidney disease specified diet
Measured: 3 months
Acceptability of the Application
Measured by user acceptability survey and semistructured interviews conducted in participants and nephrologists
Measured: 3 months
Adherence
Total number of diet diary logged by participants over complete study period (more than 60% logged is deemed good adherence)
Measured: 3 months
Adoption
Measured by percentage of complete dietary log in days will be counted (>1200kcal deemed as complete log)
Measured: 3 months
Change in the score of Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale
Measured by Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (a 7-item self-report scale. Items are rated on a 4-point Likert-scale with 0 = not at all to 3 = nearly every day ) before and after intervention
Measured: 3 months
Change in the score of Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale
Measured by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (14 items each rated on a 0-3 score, with higher score indicating worse anxiety or depression symptoms) before and after intervention
Measured: 3 months

What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Mobile Application for Dietary Management in people with Chronic Renal Disease, run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital at 1 site in China.
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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jun 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 China. 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?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Xixi Zheng, MD (+8613521145030, zxxpumch@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Dietary Intake (time frame: 3 months). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04940819, which also lists 3 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 28 Jun 2021.
