Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   44364   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7388   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    D.8 Information on Placebo
    E. General Information on the Trial
    E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    Metabolic acidosis in chronic kidney disease
    Metabole acidose bij chronische nierinsufficientie
    E.1.1.1Medical condition in easily understood language
    High blood acidity in patients with chronic kidney disease
    verhoogde zuurgraad van het bloed bij mensen met een chronische
    nierziekte
    E.1.1.2Therapeutic area Body processes [G] - Physiological processes [G07]
    MedDRA Classification
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To study if sodiumbicarbonate therapy diminishes activity of the
    intrarenal renin-angiotensin-system (RAS) without affecting the
    systemic RAS, i.e. the intrarenal RAS can be inhibited by oral alkali in
    CKD patients with metabolic acidosis.
    Om te bestuderen of natriumbicarbonaat de activiteit van het intrarenale
    renine-angiotensine-systeem vermindert, zonder het systemische RAS te
    beinvloeden. In andere woorden: het intrarenale RAS kan worden
    geremd door orale alkali in patienten met chronische nierschade en
    metabole acidose.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    - To study if sodium bicarbonate therapy in patients with metabolic
    acidosis due to chronic kidney disease effects kidney damage markers.
    - To study whether or not there is a difference in alteration of levels of
    RAS components in response to sodium bicarbonate therapy in patients
    with metabolic acidosis due to chronic kidney disease treated with AT-1
    receptor blockade and without.
    - te bekijken of sodiumbicarbonaat therapie in patienten met metabole
    acidose als gevolg van chronische nierinsufficientie nierschade-markers
    beinvloed.
    - te bestuderen of er een verschil is in verandering van RAS
    componenten na natriumbicarbonaat bij patienten met metabole acidose
    als gevolg van chronische nierinsufficientie, die behandeld worden met
    een AT-1 receptor blokker en patienten die hier niet mee behandeld
    worden
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    - male or female adult (>18 years)
    - chronic kidney disease stage 4, i.e. eGFR (MDRD) 15-30 ml/min
    - plasma bicarbonate concentration of <24 and >15 meq/L, the latter
    because in that case it seems highly recommended to start
    sodiumbicarbonate suppletion and not to postpone this
    - volwassen man/vrouw (ouder dan 18 jaar)
    - chronische nierinsufficientie, stadium 4, m.a.w. eGFR (MDRD) 15-30
    ml/min
    - plasma bicarbonaat concentratie onder de 24 en boven de 15 mmol/L,
    het laatste omdat het onder de 15 aan te raden is het starten van
    natriumbicarbonaat therapie niet uit te stellen
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    - plasma bicarbonate level >24 meq/L or <15 meq/L
    - sodiumbicarbonate use in the 1 month preceeding the study
    - a kidney transplant in situ
    - heart failure
    - liver cirrhosis
    - resistant hypertension (blood pressure >140/90 mmHg despite the use of 3 or more different antihypertensives
    - a history of inadherence to medication
    - use of calcineurin inhibitors (these immunosuppressive drugs are
    known to induce metabolic acidosis and influence electrolytes and acidbase
    balance)
    - een plasma bicarbonaat groter dan 24mmol/L of kleiner dan 15
    mmol/L
    - natriumbicarbonaat gebruik in de maand voor de studie
    - een niertransplantaat in situ
    - hartfalen
    - levercirrose
    - therapieresistente hypertensie (bloeddruk >140/90 ondanks 3 of meer verschillende antihypertensiva
    - een voorgeschiedenis van medicatieontrouw
    - gebruik van calcineurine remmers (deze immunosuppresieve middelen
    kunnen metabole acidose induceren en beinvloeden electrolyten en zuurbase
    balans)
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Study ends after 4 weeks (in which the patient recieved Sodium Bicarbonate, Sodium Chloride or none of both).
    Main study parameter is urinary renin levels.
    De studie stopt na 4 weken (waarin de patient Natriumbicarbonaat, Natriumchloride of geen van beide krijgt).
    Belangrijkste parameter is het urine-renine.
