Trial summary

This study will determine whether a new form of home hemodialysis carried out at night during sleep reduces blood levels of hormone-like substances called cytokines that may cause fatigue and increase blood fats and sugar. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Comparison of the Effects of Conventional and Nocturnal Hemodialysis on the Inflammatory Response of Chronic Renal Failure

This study will determine whether a new form of home hemodialysis carried out at night during sleep reduces blood levels of hormone-like substances called cytokines that may cause fatigue and increase blood fats and sugar. Participants will stay twice in the Rockefeller Hospital and receive a standard diet and blood testing. Training for nocturnal hemodialysis will be provided at the nearby Manhattan Dialysis Center of The Rogosin Institute, affiliated with The Rockefeller University.

Read the detailed description

Patients treated with conventional hemodialysis for at least 3 months and interested in learning home nocturnal hemodialysis will be screened in the Rockefeller Outpatient Research Center. If eligible, during the first 8 day hospital stay, participants will receive a standard diet and dialysis treatment nearby at the Rogosin Institute Dialysis Center. During the last 2 days, their blood will be frequently sampled for cytokines, fats and sugar. Dialysate will also be sampled. They will have the same diet and tests repeated during a second admission after either 4 months of conventional dialysis or 1 month training for nocturnal dialysis followed by 3 months of home nocturnal dialysis (randomized 1:1). After the second admission, patients treated with conventional dialysis will be discharged from the study and trained in nocturnal hemodialysis. Off-site computer monitoring will be utilized when patients dialyze themselves at home or during the admission in The Rockefeller University Hospital.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing nocturnal vs conventional dialysis in people with End-Stage Renal Disease, run by Rockefeller University at 1 site in United States.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 3 Jun 2009. 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 United States. 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 (reason given: The patient population was not enough to complete enrollment). 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?

Feasibility study. 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 3 Jun 2009.
