AGNES - Aging Nephropathy Study, a Prospective Observational Cohort of

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

With the aging population, a high prevalence of obesity, systemic arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus, we are facing an increased incidence of elderly patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) initiating renal replacement therapy. The correct diagnosis of CKD, the prognosis of the elderly patient with CKD, mainly comparing initiated dialysis vs. remaining in conservative treatment, the nutritional prognostic markers (sarcopenia), cardiovascular, mineral and bone metabolism, geriatric syndromes and sleep disorders are still debatable. Elderly patients are usually excluded from clinical trials and the scientific evidence is either scarce or based on retrospective data. Thus, the present study is a prospective cohort to evaluate the long-term evolution of patients ≥ 70 years with stage 4 or 5 CKD. The main outcomes are mortality and dialysis as a combined event. These endpoints will be correlated with independent parameters: Klotho, FGF23, nutrition and sleep quality. Confounders variables are cognition, depression, demographic, clinical and laboratory parameters, and daytime somnolence. Patients will be followed at the nephrology outpatient clinic of the Hospital das Clinicas, Universidade de Sao Paulo. The sample size was calculated to be 200 subjects. The summary methodology will include a broad geriatric assessment, cognition test, fragility, Charlson comorbidity scores, biochemical measurements of urea, creatinine, alkaline phosphatase, parathyroid hormone, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D, vitamin B12, folic acid, thyroid hormones, hepatitis virus, serum albumin, albumin/creatinine ratio, protein/creatinine ratio, 24-h urinary protein, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Pittsburgh questionnaire, segmental electric bioimpedance, and nutritional evaluation by 24h dietary interview.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
