About this study

The overall objective is to describe the epidemiology, health care resource utilisation (HCRU) and selected clinical outcomes in patients initiating PD by anaemia status in real-world setting in China.

Read the detailed description

Real-world evidence for chronic kidney disease (CKD)-associated anemia in China is scarce. This study aims to provide supporting novel evidence for the real-world management and treatment of patients on PD with CKD-associated anemia. This is an observational cohort study using secondary data. The data source is the PD Telemedicine-based Management Platform (PDTAP) database, which is a clinical database that prospectively collects data in patients receiving PD and evaluates PD management and clinical practice in China. The PDTAP database has enrolled around 7,000 patients receiving PD from 27 hospitals in 14 provinces located in all seven geographical regions (northwest, northeast, north, central, southwest, southeast and south) in China.

The overall objective is to describe the epidemiology, patient characteristics, treatment patterns relevant to anemia and clinical outcomes in patients on PD in real-world practice in China. Specifically, the incidence and prevalence of anemia will be estimated. The patient characteristics, medication use, select laboratory values and clinical outcomes, and healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) will be described in PD patients with and without anemia. The primary outcomes are 1) the incidence and prevalence of anemia, including the factors that predict the incidence of anemia; 2) the number and percentage of patients who experienced all-cause hospitalizations; 3) adverse clinical outcomes, such as mortality MACE and modified MACE+. The secondary outcomes are 1) hemoglobin levels or anemia, iron variables, medications on anemia management and clinical outcomes in patients with or without inflammation; 2) ESA responsiveness; 3) Other clinical outcomes, such as transfer to hemodialysis and peritonitis.

Associations between anemia, anemia-relevant factors and above clinical outcomes can be analyzed in series of paper with specific aims. For example, 1) the relationship between hemoglobin levels or anemia and clinical outcomes (such as mortality, MACE, modified MACE+, hospitalization, transfer to hemodialysis and peritonitis); 2) prognostic factors that predict the incidence of anemia during the follow up; 3) hemoglobin levels or anemia, iron variables, medications on anemia management and clinical outcomes in patients with or without inflammation; 4) the relationship between hemoglobin levels or anemia, erythropoietin responsiveness and clinical outcomes; 5) prognostic factors that predict the hyporesponsiveness to erythropoietin; 6) determine cut-off values of the iron index (such as serum iron, ferritin, TIBC and TSAT) to predicting worse clinical outcomes. Each study could select hemoglobin relevant variables including clinical characteristics and treatment patterns at baseline and/or during the follow up, and explore their associations with specific clinical outcomes.

Confounding, interaction or mediation effects could be evaluated. Subgroups, such as with or without diabetes, with or without CVD, with or without inflammation status et al could be analyzed as needed. Cox, competing risk models, Poisson or NegBin regression models may be used as needed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Anemia

    the incidence and prevalence of anemia; factors that predict the incidence of anemia

    Measured: June 1, 2016 to December 31, 2020

  2. Healthcare resource utilisation

    the number and percentage of patients who experienced all-cause hospitalisations.

    Measured: June 1, 2016 to December 31, 2020

  3. Select adverse clinical outcomes

    Such as mortality, MACE, modified MACE+

    Measured: June 1, 2016 to December 31, 2020

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Compare the anemia-related index between patients with and without inflammation

    Anemia-related index for participants with and without inflammation

    Measured: June 1, 2016 to December 31, 2020

  2. ESA responsiveness

    Such as describing trajectories of Hb level and ESA dose post-ESA initiation and explore the relationship among erythropoietin responsiveness, hemoglobin levels and clinical outcomes

    Measured: June 1, 2016 to December 31, 2020

  3. Select adverse clinical outcomes

    Such as transfer to hemodialysis and peritonitis

    Measured: June 1, 2016 to December 31, 2020

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anemia, run by Peking University First 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 5 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 30 Dec 2022. 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?

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?

Anemia (time frame: June 1, 2016 to December 31, 2020). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 30 Dec 2022.
