Copeptin Measurement After Mannitol and Hypertonic Saline for the Diagnosis of Polyuria-polydipsia Syndrome (COMPASS)

17 de junho de 2026 atualizado por: University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland
The aim of this study is to evaluate whether a new test using mannitol infusion can diagnose the cause of polyuria-polydipsia syndrome as accurately as the current standard test (hypertonic saline infusion) and to compare which test patients prefer. The goal is to identify a simpler and more patient-friendly diagnostic approach.

Visão geral do estudo

Descrição detalhada

Polyuria-polydipsia syndrome (PPS), characterized by excessive urination and fluid intake, can have different underlying causes, including a deficiency of the hormone vasopressin (AVP-D) or excessive fluid intake without AVP-D (primary polydipsia). Correctly identifying the cause is essential, as the treatments differ and an incorrect diagnosis can negatively impact patient care.

A blood marker called copeptin is used to support the diagnosis, as it reflects vasopressin levels in the body. Currently, the most accurate method involves measuring copeptin after stimulation with hypertonic saline. However, this test is complex, requires close medical monitoring, and can be uncomfortable for patients.

Mannitol is a substance already used in routine clinical care and may offer a simpler way to stimulate copeptin release. Early results suggest that it could provide similar diagnostic accuracy with fewer side effects and better patient comfort.

This study is a randomized, cross-over, multicenter trial in which participants undergo both tests (mannitol and hypertonic saline) in random order. The study compares the diagnostic accuracy and patient preference for both methods, as well as safety and tolerability. In addition, it explores whether other clinical and laboratory measures can further improve the diagnosis of PPS.

Armas e Intervenções

Grupo de Participantes / Braço
Intervenção / Tratamento
Experimental: Mannitol Infusion
Diagnostic evaluation of polyuria polydipsia syndrome through copeptin measurement after mannitol infusion.
Intravenous infusion of 1.5g/kg body weight (max. 120g) mannitol is given over 30 minutes (≙ 7.5ml/kg body weight).
Comparador Ativo: Hypertonic Saline Infusion (HIS)
Diagnostic evaluation of polyuria polydipsia syndrome through copeptin measurement after HIS
Intravenous infusion of NaCl 3% is given first as a bolus of 250ml over 15 minutes, then with an infusion rate of 0.15ml/kg body weight / minute (≙ 9ml/kg body weight/hour).

O que o estudo está medindo?

Medidas de resultados primários

Medida de resultado
Descrição da medida
Prazo
Overall Diagnostic Accuracy
Prazo: One time assessment at Follow up Visit 2 (10 weeks after baseline)
The overall diagnostic accuracy is defined as the proportion of correct diagnoses out of all diagnoses based on the stimulated copeptin value. Final diagnosis will be made after termination of the study by two endocrine specialists who will be blinded to the copeptin results of the mannitol infusion.
One time assessment at Follow up Visit 2 (10 weeks after baseline)
Patient Test Preference
Prazo: 1 week after completion of both diagnostic tests
Patient-reported preference between mannitol infusion and hypertonic saline infusion, assessed using a 5-point Likert scale ranging from -2 (strong preference for hypertonic saline) to +2 (strong preference for mannitol).
1 week after completion of both diagnostic tests

Psychopathological assessment (STAI-T)
Prazo: Baseline
General anxiety levels is assessed by State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-T) questionnaire. The total trait score (STAI-T) ranges from 20 to 80, with higher scores indicating more pronounced anxiety.

Currently, no disease-specific tool exists to assess treatment success for either desmopressin or oxytocin (OXT) therapy in patients with arginine vasopressin deficiency (AVP-D). To address this gap, we developed a novel multidimensional questionnaire in close collaboration with patients, patient representatives, and patient advocates. The PP-QoL consists of three parts: Part A assesses symptoms related to AVP-D (15 items), while Parts B (17 items) and C (21 items) focus on domains associated with OXT deficiency.
