What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study looks at how the eyes, brain, and kidneys affect each other in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Researchers will use MRI scans and eye imaging to see if changes in the brain and retina are linked to thinking problems and kidney function. About 1,500 adults with CKD will take part, but no new treatments are being tested.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could reveal early markers of cognitive decline in CKD patients, potentially guiding future monitoring or treatment strategies.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not directly improve health, and results may not lead to immediate clinical changes.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The study population will consist of a prospective cohort of adult patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) recruited from a single clinical center. All participants will be selected from patients attending the Department of Nephrology and other relevant clinics at Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University. The primary eligibility criteria include an age range of 18 to 70 years and a clinical diagnosis of CKD at any stage (1 through 5). Key exclusions are applied to ensure patient safety and specificity of the observational findings, primarily concerning conditions that contraindicate MRI procedures or represent significant, unstable comorbid systemic, cardiovascular, or neuropsychiatric diseases. A total of 1500 participants meeting these criteria are planned to be enrolled. Each participant will undergo a comprehensive baseline assessment and a follow-up evaluation at 3 years.
