Trial summary

A major challenge of peritoneal dialysis (PD) therapy is the development of glucose-sparing strategies able to provide an efficacious ultrafiltration (UF) profile. Study hypothesis is to evaluate the possibility to formulate PD solutions containing xylitol and L-carnitine as osmotic agents to partially replace glucose. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of a New Peritoneal Dialysis Solutions Containing Glucose, Xylitol and L-carnitine Compared to Standard PD Solutions in End-stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Patients on Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD)

A major challenge of peritoneal dialysis (PD) therapy is the development of glucose-sparing strategies able to provide an efficacious ultrafiltration (UF) profile. Study hypothesis is to evaluate the possibility to formulate PD solutions containing xylitol and L-carnitine as osmotic agents to partially replace glucose.

Being tested
PD solution for nocturnal exchanges, PD solution for diurnal exchanges

What participants receive

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

  • PD solution for nocturnal exchangesDrug

    Instillation of a PD solution containing xylitol (1.5%), L-carnitine (0.1%) and glucose (0.5%) for the nocturnal exchange in CAPD treated patients. PD solutions are instilled for 4 weeks.

  • PD solution for diurnal exchangesDrug

    Instillation of a PD solution containing xylitol (0.6%), L-carnitine (0.1%) and glucose (0.5%) for the diurnal exchanges in CAPD treated patients. PD solutions are instilled for 4 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing PD solution for nocturnal exchanges and PD solution for diurnal exchanges in people with End-Stage Renal Disease, run by Iperboreal Pharma Srl.

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 12 inclusion and 12 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jun 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

To assess ultrafiltration efficacy of PD solutions containing L-Carnitine and Xylitol (time frame: 4 weeks). 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 26 Jun 2019.
