NCT ID NCT07763483

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looks at whether children with chronic kidney disease, especially those on dialysis, have higher levels of PFAS chemicals in their blood. PFAS are found in many everyday products and may interfere with bone development. The study compares PFAS levels in children with kidney disease who are not on dialysis, those on peritoneal dialysis, and those on hemodialysis. It also checks if PFAS levels change during a hemodialysis session. The goal is to see if dialysis equipment, which contains plastics, might contribute to PFAS exposure in children.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Blood sample collection for PFAS measurement
What this could lead to
If this pilot shows that dialysis affects PFAS levels in children, it could lead to larger studies and eventually strategies to reduce exposure and protect bone health in young dialysis patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 15 participants, so results may not apply broadly. It only measures PFAS levels, not direct health outcomes, and cannot prove cause and effect.

Inclusion Criteria: * Children aged 0 to 17 years (inclusive), followed in the Paediatric Nephrology Department of the Femme-Mère-Enfant Hospital, Hospices Civils de Lyon. * No objection from the parents or legal guardian(s). * Assent of the minor participant, when appropriate according to age and level of understanding * For group 1: Children with non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 1-2, weighing at least 5 kg. * For group 2: Children with non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 4-5, weighing at least 5 kg. * For group 3: Children receiving peritoneal dialysis, weighing at least 5 kg. * For group 4: Children receiving paediatric haemodialysis with pre-dilution hemodiafiltration, weighing at least 12 kg. * For group 5: Children receiving paediatric haemodialysis with post-dilution hemodiafiltration, weighing at least 12 kg. Exclusion Criteria: * Participation in another interventional research study with an exclusion period still ongoing on the day of inclusion and deemed by the investigator to potentially interfere with the present study. * Individuals deprived of liberty by a judicial or administrative decision.
