Trial summary

Diabetic kidney disease(DKD) is a leading cause of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease across the world. Early identification of DKD is vitally important for the effective prevention and control of it. However, the available indicators are doubtful in the early diagnosis of DKD.

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 20 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The diagnosis of T2DM in our study complied with the criteria set out by the American Diabetes Association. The inclusion criteria are as follows: for all patients diagnosed with T2DM without CKD. After five years of following up,participants were recruited and then divided into two groups: T2DM group without nephropathy(non-DKD, UACR urinary albumin/creatinine ratio < 3 mg/mmol) and DKD group with microalbuminuria and macroalbuminuria (DKD, UACR > 3 mg/mmol)

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects who have signed informed consent.
  • Subjects who were diagnosed with diabetes at least 5 years.
  • Subjects showed good compliance, and the follow-up data was available for >5 years.

Who cannot join

  • Renal diseases caused by other causes, including primary and secondary;
  • All kinds of acute infections;
  • The expected life expectancy (life expectancy or related diseases) was less than 5 years according to the researcher's judgment.
  • Drug users or drug abusers;
  • Sexually transmitted diseases such as viral hepatitis, AIDS and syphilis, and infectious diseases such as tuberculosis are in an active period;
  • Any situation judged by the researcher that affects enrollment.

About this study

Diabetic kidney disease(DKD) is a leading cause of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease across the world. Early identification of DKD is vitally important for the effective prevention and control of it. However, the available indicators are doubtful in the early diagnosis of DKD. This study aims to develop a novel system of multidimensional network biomarkers (MDNBs) to estimating early diabetic nephropathy, and further validating the performance of the novel systemin in prediction of the risk for early diabetic nephropathy by a nested case-control study.

Read the detailed description

Patients with a history of more than 5 years of diabetes without DKD were recruited. At the baseline visit, the patients' serum, plasma and urine were collected after obtaining informed patient consent. Simultaneously, the basic information, anthropometric indicators (including height, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, blood pressure), past history, family history, menstrual history, birth history, medication history, lifestyle of the patients were registered, and the corresponding laboratory examination and auxiliary examination were carried out according to the diagnostic process. All data and data were entered into the database for later analysis. After 5years of follow up, subjects will be divided into two groups(the new onset DKD group and the non-DKD group), the base line level of MDNBs were tested in the two group to validate the performance of the novel MDNBs in in prediction of the risk for early diabetic nephropathy.

What is being measured

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

  1. multidimensional network biomarkers

    a novel system of multidimensional network biomarkers (MDNBs) based on a widely targeted metabolomics. Our previous study demonstrated that the combination of Linolelaidic Acid (C18:2N6T), L-Dihydroorotic Acid, and Azoxystrobin Acid might serve as a potential multidimensional network biomarkers of DKD. So we create a panel of MDNBs containing these biomakers as primary outcome measure.

    Measured: 5years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus and Biomarkers, run by Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, School of Medicine.

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 6 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jul 2021. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Zheng Chao, MD, PhD (8615057585907, wallbb_1022@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

multidimensional network biomarkers (time frame: 5years). 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 26 Jul 2021.
