About this study

Addition of Heparin to the Catheter Lock Solution (CLS): Taurolock-TM will improve the vascular patency compared to Taurolock-TM alone , in hemodialysis patients with Tunneled Cuffed Catheter(TCC) as vascular access.

Read the detailed description

Bacteremia and thrombosis are the major complications of TCC used for hemodialysis.Instilation of CLS containing antibiotic-anticoagulant solution in the end of each dialysis session till the next dialysis ,can prevent Catheter related bacteremia (CRB).In previous study in our department, Taurolock-TM decreased the rate of CRB but increased the incidence of catheter malfunction.

The aim of the study is to investigate the influence of of Heparin addition to CLS-Taurolock- TM ( Taurolidine \&citrate 4%) in prevention of catheter patency problems in HD patients with TCC, in addition to CRB prevention.

Methods : Patients with newly inserted TCC for HD enrolled and randomized to receive one of three CLS types : group 1- Taurolock-TM, Group 2 - Taurolock-TM and Heparin , Group 3- Heparin .Patients were followed for 6 monthes.

The objective of the study is to investigate the effect of Taurolock TM with heparin on the rate of CRB and vascular patency.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Catheter Lock Solution Taurolidine and Citrate, Catheter Lock Solution :Taurolidine and Citrate and Heparin and Catheter Lock Solution : Heparin in people with End Stage Renal Disease and Hemodialysis, run by Western Galilee Hospital-Nahariya at 1 site in Israel.

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 2 inclusion and 0 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 9 Sep 2008. 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 Israel. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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.

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 9 Sep 2008.
