About this study

Official title: HEMOTOL: Effects of New Dialysis On-line Monitoring Devices on Hemodynamic Stability During Intermittent Hemodialysis in Critically Ill Patients With Acute Kidney Injury : a Prospective Randomized Study.

The purpose of this randomized controlled study is to compare the effects of different new dialysis on-line monitoring devices on hemodynamic stability during intermittent hemodialysis in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury.

Read the detailed description

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with high mortality and morbidity rates in critically ill patients despite advances in renal replacement therapy (RRT). Over the last few years, new devices in dialysis equipment, such as blood temperature and blood volume on-line monitors, have been developed to improve hemodynamic tolerance, and these new modalities have demonstrated their positive impact on decrease in intra-dialytic hypotension rate in chronic hemodialysis patients. In order to evaluate these new devices in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury we decided to conduct a prospective randomized controlled trial.

We based calculation of the sample size on a power analysis that assumed an expected decrease in intra-dialytic hypotension rate of 40% (from a crude intra-dialytic hypotension rate of 30% to 18%) in groups B and C, compared with group A. Analysis is done by intention to treat, according to prescribed new dialysis on-line monitoring devices.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Standard Hemodialysis, with Blood Volume Management (BVM®) only and with Blood Volume (BVM®) and Temperature (BTM®) on-line monitoring in people with Hemodialysis, run by University Hospital, Caen at 1 site in France.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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 3 Mar 2010. 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 France. 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 combined 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.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Intra-Dialytic Hypotension (time frame: 60 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00811109, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 Mar 2010.
