About this study

Official title: Randomized, Controlled and Open Study to Assess the Efficacy (Peritoneal Biocompatibility) of the Addition of Bemiparin to Icodextrin Solution in Patients in Peritoneal Dialysis With Peritoneal Transport Disorders

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether addition of bemiparin, once daily in icodextrin solution for peritoneal dialysis for 16 weeks, increases the peritoneal capacity for ultrafiltration and/or reduces creatinine transport in peritoneal dialysis patients presenting functional disorders related to ultrafiltration deficit and/or high transport.

Read the detailed description

Peritoneal dysfunction is a common complication in patients in stable treatment with peritoneal dialysis. This peritoneal dysfunction is defined by an elevated creatinine transport and lowered standardized ultrafiltration capacity. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the addition of bemiparin to icodextrin solution in patients in peritoneal dialysis with peritoneal transport disorders. The eligible patients are randomly assigned to receive the icodextrin solution with bemiparin or icodextrin solution without bemiparin.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • bemiparin 3500 IU/dayDrug

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Efficacy: Peritoneal function defined according to the standardized ultrafiltration capacity and/or estimated peritoneal creatinine transport estimated by D/P and mass transfer coefficient during randomized treatment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Safety: Incidence of peritonitis during the randomized treatment period, defined by a cell count of peritoneal effluent with more than 100 leukocytes per mm3 with 50% or more polymorphonuclear cells

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing bemiparin 3500 IU/day in people with Peritoneal Diseases, run by Fundación Renal Iñigo Alvarez De Toledo at 17 sites in Spain.

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 16 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 May 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 sites in Spain. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Efficacy: Peritoneal function defined according to the standardized ultrafiltration capacity and/or estimated peritoneal creatinine transport estimated by D/P and mass transfer coefficient during randomized treatment. 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 14 May 2010; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
