Trial summary

Patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) who use peritoneal dialyses with Physioneal(R) (Baxter A/S, Denmark) were allocated to inject either placebo or tinzaparin daily into the morning dialysis bag. Active medication, as well as placebo, was added for three months separated by a one month washout period. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Intraperitoneal Low Molecular Weight Heparin in Peritoneal Dialysis

Patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) who use peritoneal dialyses with Physioneal(R) (Baxter A/S, Denmark) were allocated to inject either placebo or tinzaparin daily into the morning dialysis bag. Active medication, as well as placebo, was added for three months separated by a one month washout period. At the beginning and end of each treatment period peritoneal equilibrations tests (PE-tests), Kt/V, blood and dialysate samples were analyzed. We, the researchers at Ribe County Hospital, set out to examine inflammation (local and systemic), nutrition and ultrafiltration.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing tinzaparin in people with Inflammation and Nutrition, run by Ribe County Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 May 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Grade of inflammation, local and systemic. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 May 2015.
