The investigators will achieve this goal through a randomized controlled trial of administration of usual protein diet plus KA versus usual protein diet alone in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) over a period of 6 months. If successful, the results of this study will provide potential avenues for improvement of metabolic profile of patients on PD and possibly improve long-term outcomes such as cardiovascular disease risk and death.', 'detailedDescription': 'Specific Aims and Significance:\n\nTo evaluate the effects of KA plus usual protein diet on basal and stimulated insulin sensitivity in PD patients.\n\nHypothesis: Administration of KA plus usual protein diet will improve insulin resistance in peritoneal dialysis patients.\n\nTo evaluate the influence of KA plus usual protein diet on non-traditional cardiovascular disease (CVD) markers (markers of inflammation and oxidative stress) in PD patients.\n\nHypothesis: Administration of KA plus usual protein diet will improve markers of inflammation and oxidative stress in PD patients.\n\nBackground and Rationale:\n\nInsulin Resistance in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients. Insulin resistance (IR), the reciprocal of insulin sensitivity, describes a state of reduced biological effect for any given concentration of insulin in the plasma. Insulin resistance plays a major pathophysiological role in glucose intolerance and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and is tightly associated with major public health problems including obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Insulin resistance, measured by homeostatic model assessment (HOMA-IR), is reported to be common in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, including ones on PD and hemodialysis (HD). HOMA-IR is also shown to be an independent predictor of cardiovascular mortality in non-diabetic maintenance HD patients although the pathophysiological link has not been clearly delineated.\n\nA unique aspect of PD that predisposes patients to IR is the inevitable glucose load from the dialysate required for ultrafiltration. Consequently, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome such as hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia and weight gain is increased in PD patients. As an individual component of metabolic syndrome, IR is significantly higher in PD patients than in HD or pre-dialysis patients (47% vs 21% or 26%). Accordingly, improvement of IR could be a potential intervention to decrease the CVD risk and mortality in PD patients. However, only a few investigations have centered on interventions to ameliorate IR in these patients.\n\nLow Protein Diet Supplemented with Keto Acid as a Potential Strategy to Ameliorate Insulin Resistance in PD Patients. Several small scale studies exploring the effects of low protein diet (LPD) plus KA on glucose metabolism indicated that LPD-KA could improve liver and peripheral tissue insulin sensitivity in CKD patients not yet on maintenance dialysis. There are no studies exploring such effects in maintenance dialysis patients, especially in PD patients. One potential mechanism for the improvement in insulin resistance by KA is the reduction of circulating uremic toxins, although the specific elements are not well delineated. In addition, the supplementation of KA might be helpful since plasma total branched-chain amino acid concentrations correlate with glucose tolerance index in dialysis patients. Since the safety of LPD has not been entirely shown in previous studies for PD patients, and our data indicated that DPI \\< 0.74g/kg/d was harmful in the long-term PD, the investigators will not provide the LPD for improving the IR. However, the exploration of possible benefits of KA plus usual protein intake in PD patients on insulin sensitivity is intriguing.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '80 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* medically stable and receiving stable PD \\>= 3 months\n* age 18-80 years\n* body mass index \\> 18.5\n* Kt/v \\>= 1.7 or Tccr \\>= 50l/week/1.73m2\n* glucose lactate-buffered PD solutions\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* pregnancy\n* intolerance to the study protocols\n* severe, unstable, active, or chronic inflammation disease\n* chronic use of anti-inflammatory medication\n* severe malnutrition\n* a high probability of receiving a kidney transplant or transferring to HD within 6 months\n* taking anti-inflammatory medication chronically or taking KA during the past one month'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT01496092', 'briefTitle': 'Study of Keto Acid (KA) on Insulin Resistance in Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) Patients', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Peking University First Hospital'}, 'officialTitle': 'Effects of Regular Protein Diet Supplemented With Keto Acid on Insulin Resistance In Peritoneal Dialysis Patients', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'KAPD'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Keto Acid supplemented with usual protein diet', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Keto Acid']}, {'type': 'NO_INTERVENTION', 'label': 'usual protein diet'}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Keto Acid', 'type': 'DRUG', 'otherNames': ['Compound α-Ketoacid Tablets'], 'description': '12 tablets per day', 'armGroupLabels': ['Keto Acid supplemented with usual protein diet']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '100034', 'city': 'Beijing', 'state': 'Beijing Municipality', 'country': 'China', 'facility': 'Jie Dong', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 39.9075, 'lon': 116.39723}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Jie Dong, MD,PhD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Peking University First Hospital'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Peking University First Hospital', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'collaborators': [{'name': 'Vanderbilt University', 'class': 'OTHER'}], 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'investigatorTitle': 'Institute of Nephrology, Division of Renal', 'investigatorFullName': 'Dong Jie', 'investigatorAffiliation': 'Peking University First Hospital'}}}}
