— OPERA-CKDOfficial title:
An Observational, Open-label Pilot Study to Evaluate the Effect of Standard-of-care Erythropoiesis-stimulating Agents (Darbepoetin Alfa) on Forearm Blood Flow in Nondialysis-dependent Subjects With Anaemia Associated With Chronic Kidney Disease.

In people diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD) anaemia is a common problem and is often treated with EPO (Erythropoietin). One form of EPO used is Darbepoetin (Aranesp®). EPO is safe to use but it has been associated with a rise in blood pressure (BP) in some individuals. The reasons for this are not clear. To try to explain this, this study will look at how EPO affects certain substances in the blood that influence how blood vessels contract and relax. This will be conducted by infusing small amounts of Acetylcholine, BQ123 and Noradrenaline into the arm vessels of volunteers using an established method called Forearm blood flow (plethysmography). Volunteers recruited for this study will include CKD patients undergoing therapy with Darbepoetin as part of their normal NHS care as well as healthy people not on treatment, who will act as controls. This is an observational pilot study of changes in physiology before and after Darbepoetin. It will provide valuable data for a later study comparing Darbepoetin to novel agents which work via different pathways to treat anaemia.
