Trial summary

This study will evaluate the effects of more frequent dialysis on cognitive function including the assessment of sleep apnea and restless legs. Our hypothesis is that more frequent dialysis improves cognitive function and may have important implications on clinical care of ESRD patients and help to emphasize the need… Read more about this study

About this study

This study will evaluate the effects of more frequent dialysis on cognitive function including the assessment of sleep apnea and restless legs. Our hypothesis is that more frequent dialysis improves cognitive function and may have important implications on clinical care of ESRD patients and help to emphasize the need for treatments that will allow patients to live "with dialysis" rather than live "for dialysis".

What is being measured

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

  1. Distribution of cognitive function impairment in ESRD patients undergoing more frequent hemodialysis

    Measured: baseline, 4 months and 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Longitudinal analysis of cognitive function over time to test the hypothesis that more frequent hemodialysis contributes to delay in cognitive function impairment

    Measured: baseline, 4 months and 12 months

  2. To test the hypothesis that nightly or daily hemodialysis treatment can ultimately be proven to be cost effective options by preserving cognitive function.

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Influence of cognitive function on survival.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of End Stage Renal Disease and Chronic Kidney Disease, run by Satellite Healthcare at 2 sites 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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Apr 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 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?

Distribution of cognitive function impairment in ESRD patients undergoing more frequent hemodialysis (time frame: baseline, 4 months and 12 months). 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 18 Apr 2019.
