About this study

Official title: Crossover Clinical Trial, Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled Trial. Modulation of Cellular Mediators and Repair Endothelial Damage in Patients With Chronic Renal Disease Through Inhibition of Xanthine Oxidase

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of inhibiting xanthine oxidase with allopurinol in patients with chronic kidney disease in asymptomatic hyperuricemia endothelial injury and vascular repair mechanisms.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of inhibiting xanthine oxidase with allopurinol in patients with chronic kidney disease in asymptomatic hyperuricemia endothelial injury and vascular repair mechanisms, evaluating the plasma concentration of angiogenic factors, microparticles of endothelial cells and the cell number circulating endothelial progenitor.

What is being measured

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

  1. Circulating endothelial progenitor cells concentration and microparticles derived from endothelial cells

    Effect of inhibiting xanthine oxidase with allopurinol in patients with CKD

    Measured: Data collected after 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Level of oxidative stress

    Evaluated through quantification of oxygen-reactive species

    Measured: After patient visit (0 weeks, 4, 8 and 12 weeks)

  2. Level of micro inflammation

    Evaluated through quantification of C-reactive protein, proinflammatory cytokines, CD14+ and CD16+ monocytes

    Measured: After patient visit (0 weeks, 4, 8 and 12 weeks)

  3. Level of endothelial dysfunction

    Endothelium-dependant vasodilation in response to ischemia evaluated through changes in capillar flux using Doppler laser PeriFlux system 5000

    Measured: After patient visit (0 weeks, 4, 8 and 12 weeks)

  4. Blood pressure

    Measured: Each visit (0 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks) for 24 hours

  5. Glomerular filtration ratio

    Estimated through MDRD-4 y Cockroft-Gault.

    Measured: After patient visit (0 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks)

  6. Microalbuminuria / Proteinuria

    Evaluated through albumin/creatinin ratio and protein/creatinine ratio

    Measured: Daily, using first urine of the day as a sample.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Allopurinol in people with Chronic Kidney Disease, run by Maimónides Biomedical Research Institute of Córdoba at 1 site in Spain.

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 7 inclusion and 12 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 Jul 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 Spain. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Circulating endothelial progenitor cells concentration and microparticles derived from endothelial cells (time frame: Data collected after 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks.). 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 Jul 2021.
